A review by thestitchedpages
Flyy Girl by Omar Tyree

3.0

Reading this book was definitely the black girl rite of passage when I was growing up. However, reading this as an adult was a much different experience than reading this as a teen. Back then, this was the hot and spicy read we were passing around and now it feels dull. Tracy was hardheaded and those hormones were working overtime! Tracy thought she knew everything and didn’t know a damn thing, typical teenager stuff. I did enjoy her character development and growth towards the end and I actually want to read the sequel, For The Love of Money. I wish we would’ve gotten more of her college years breezed through some of the teen years. I swear for half the book she was in 8th grade.

This book is undeniably an urban fiction classic and I would probably recommend it to ages 16-20. It might be a bit harder to get through if you’re 25+ though.
