I watched the film, and it encouraged me to read the book. The narrator was really the only one saving Grace, and I don't know how I managed to finish this outside of that. I'm assuming Teri Woods's later works are better developed. There are so many Characters and plot lines going on within the book that, at times it is hard to follow. There are also some inconsistencies in the plot. We don't know very much about these characters, and because of that, I don't feel this immense love that Gena and Quadir have for one another,
and I didn't feel any way about his death either
I believe many people might love this book for the nostalgia of it all, but I think the urban fiction genre has come a long way since the publication of this book.
