review 1: Since fifth grade Sunday Tolliver knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, and the money she'd need took years for her mother to save. But then her mother's boyfriend needs a loan and Sunday's college fund is depleted. Will she be able to earn enough money so she won't miss out on a higher education? Sunday is a likeable character and I felt bad for her when she found out about her college fund. She mentioned a `hood existence', making it clear that she wasn't happy where she was. Looking at her family situation I was glad that college was on Sunday's agenda. I'm not sure how she knew since fifth grade that she wanted to go, though, because - unless I missed something - I didn't see anyone in her life that would encourage such an important goal. Yes, her mother saved the... more money, but then she put a so-called man before her daughter and gave it all away. It didn't matter if it was supposed to be a loan and she expected to get it back. It was money to ensure her daughter could study entertainment law and she should have told Carlos to find another way or given him her retirement money instead if she was so concerned about his troubles. Dreya (aka Drama) is something else! She needs all of the attention and she doesn't seem to care about anybody else. She can be loud and seemingly in control, but insecurity is what I noticed most. I won't say I didn't like her, but her presence was bothersome at times. I'm not sure what's going on with Bethany - why she makes certain choices. I did notice the envy and jealousy towards Sunday, but I felt like something more was going on with this girl. Sam was a good guy; talented and respectful of females. I liked him. Music: I listen to different genres, but I know nothing about the music industry. Not a Good Look gave me a behind the scenes look; some of it was good and some of it was not. As I closed the book all I could think of was that I hope Sunday doesn't allow certain people to keep her from living her dreams. I plan to read All The Wrong Moves and Doing My Own Thing to find out what happens with this gifted young lady, and I'd also like to get to know Bethany better.
review 2: This book was about a girl name Sunday Tolliver and her cousin Dreya. in this book sunday is doing very well in school and she is in the 12th grade. she plans on going to college but her mother spent the money on her boyfriend because he was in some type of trouble. And dreya and her family are living with Sunday and her mom until they can get back on their feet. sunday and dreya dont get along at all. dreya thinks she's all that and dim sum, just because she got a famous boyfriend. Dreya is starting to become famous as well. In order for sunday to get her college money back, she has to go on tour with her cousin Dreya. you can only imagine how thats gonna go. Personally i liked this book very much. it had great detail and it was well written, but i didnt like the ending. it lefted you hanging. i wanted to know what was gonna happen to Dreya and Sunday when they leave the club. And what ever happen to Sunday's moms boyfriend? less
