Around the Way Girls 6 by Mark Anthony, Meisha Camm, Blunt
3.0

Reviewing this several months after I first read it, so I don't remember details. Urban Fiction is extremely popular with readers at my library and I wanted to see what the hype was about, I definitely understand it now. Around the Way Girls 6 includes three different stories by three different authors about sharp young women who get involved in the drug trade, with varying levels of willingness. Though I liked the leading characters in all three stories, I felt like the first one suffered from an obvious lack of editing. It was too descriptive and not descriptive enough in all the wrong places. Each of these stories felt intensely sensationalized, yet I see why the format works because I was glued to the pages and deeply invested in the survival of these girls.
