A review by gen_theromancenerd
American Street by Ibi Zoboi

Did not finish book. Stopped at 43%.

This book is a good one if it's what you're into.   I think I'm just too far removed from this.  We have teenagers going to clubs and given drinks as if the club couldn't get their license taken away.  There are adults around here viewing this and nothing is done.

You then have one sister dating a known drug dealer who not only cheats on her but he beats on her and her mother (and family) does nothing.  This is just not what I look for in a young adult novel.
