Come Get Some

You know, I am drawn to books about black and white, but Come Get Some made me see the gray. It is the kind of read that allows one to step back into the lives of young people in this country and see the kind of upside down thinking that entangles lives between them, like it or not. This is a book about friendships, haters and lovers all sopped up with hard decisions. A damn good read for the clueless. Come Get Some.

The sad reality of growing up - and everyone faces different, yet similar challenges. "Come Get Some" is a look into the high school lives of urban black youth, filled with conflict - morality stops being black and white, sexual innocence is no more, and faced with the fact that some people hate them for something as frivolous as the color of their skin. Deftly written, "Come Get Some" is a harsh look at the real world that these young men and women face, highly recommended to community library urban fiction collections and for any who want something to relate to in their books.
