I really enjoyed this book. I finished it in 2 days and it would have been one if I could have kept my eyes open last night. Ervin is definitely one of my favorite urban lit writers...she is very good at telling a story! She does a good job at creating characters that you can relate to and understand. Many of Ervin's writers will be able to relate to Dylan and Billie, some may even be able to relate to Tee Tee. Ervin kept my interest and the plot was quite intriguing. I'm actually going to buy Material Girl 2 and support Ervin. I appreciate a good story. And Ervin actually delivers.
