Around the way Girls 2
Kashamba Williams and Tomas Long
Around the way Girls was a really nice book. I think if you would read it you would like it. This book has 3 books and 1. It’s basically about a girl who is now a woman and she has kids at the age of twelve and had nobody on her side so she had to raise her kids on her own. This girl/women has 5 kids by the age of 18. I thought she was very intelligent young lady but made the wrong decision to have kids at such a young age. But as she got older she realize she did and it all catch back up to her. One of my favorite settings was when she jus find out her cousin was her sister. Her cousin is in jail because she was drinking and driving and killed 3 people while crashing. Well all I can say is welcome to the life of Juicy Brown.
The main characters of the book was Juicy Brown (the mom), Earl and Earleon (the twins), Icelene, Earlgin, and Gaynelle, Gayle(mom) Kesha (her cousin/sister) Aunt Nayle and Uncle Stanley(which she found out was her dad). These are the people who actually stuck by her and her twins until she had three more. Her mom kicked her out so she had she had to live with her Aunt and Uncle until she had three more kids they kicked her out. So she decided to live on her own which she had to raise her kids all by her self. By time she moved out and was on her own she was 18 years old.
The theme of the book is survival. When I first seen the book I thought it was going to be dumb, but it turned out not to be a dumb book. I thought it was really wrong that her mom wouldn’t help her but when she was younger her mom died after she had her third kid. Her kids don’t even know who their grand mom is and its sad that it had to be that way.
My impression of this book was like “oh my gosh” such a great book. Yes I do agree that all teenagers should read it because it is a really good book and it teaches lessons. When you think things wouldn’t get rough oh trust me they did this book was so heartbreaking because the youngest daughter had disease that had to deal with pain.
I recommend Around the way Girls 2 to all teenagers because it teaches about life and what you shouldn’t do in life.
