review 1: ook Review for NovemberKarma is like a rubber band, you can only stretch it so far until it comes back and smacks you in the face! You may think think you’re getting away with the things that you do such as stealing clothes from the mall or simply stealing money from your mom’s purse but no matter how long you do bad things and get away with it, it’ll catch up with you eventually.The word “Karma” absolutely applies to people like Tasha, Amra, Honey and MiMi. These four girls are known as the Manola Mami’s who worked for a guy named Manolo who trains them to use their beautiful looks, personalities and sexual ways to trick men out of their money. Tasha, Honey and were born and raised in New York as sisters. Amra’s mother adopted Tasha after realizing that Tas... moreha’s mother Lisa, was a drug addict and allowing men to have sex with Tasha so she can pay them for the drugs they gave her. After graduating high school, Tasha, Amra and Honey decided to move to Flint, Michigan with Honey’s cousin, MiMi. From there they started hustling men out of their money until it all caught up with them and then things had gotten real. Tasha, Amra, Honey and MiMi is left stuck the choice of either saving their friendship or out to save themselves. I like the descriptive details that the author used, for example: “ Honey had her hair swooped into a beautiful, silky ponytail, Amra had her hair flat-ironed down, Tasha had cornrows to the back with big gold hoop earrings.” The author also used a lot of dialogue throughout the book, for example: “ How was school?” Ms. Pat asked the girls, the girls shrugged their shoulders and said “It was good.” “ Are you girls hungry?”, “Naw I’m cool.” The girls said unison.My favorite character in the book was Tasha, I like her because unlike the other girls, Tasha didn’t have sex with men to get them to come out of their pockets, she used her natural beauty, I admire that about females.My least favorite character happened to be Honey because in the end she was looking out for herself instead of her friends and I think that is very disloyal and betraying to the people who stuck by your side through thick and thin. Moral of the story is that don’t go out and do stupid things and not expect it to smack you hard in the face. Just remember what goes around, comes back around no matter who you are.
