Synopsis:
With a bootylicious body like Beyonc� and a face that would put any top model to shame, Toi McKnight has all the cuties coming her way. Who could blame them? She was always rocking the latest fashion trends and hanging at every bangin’ party in the city. But all that came at a price, and now Toi McKnight is the seventeen-year-old mother of a baby boy.
Between bills to pay and adult responsibilities to meet, she’s got zero time for sizzling gossip, chilling with her friends or doing the things she used to. So when unexpected sparks start flying between her and six-foot-two, deliciously fine Harlem, Toi knows she’s got to dead any chance of a relationship fast since he doesn’t date teenage mothers–and she’s vowed to never love again. But every time Toi tries to cut Harlem loose, she falls harder for him. And all the other drama in her life doesn’t help the situation any, especially when her son’s father comes back around. Toi tries to do the right thing, but doing the right thing just may put her on heartbreak express for good.

Book Review:
If I Was Your Girl by Ni-Ni Simone
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This was really good and believable too. This story follows Toi who is a young teenage mother working a job and finishing up high school. All Toi wants is to go to Spelman but she feels she will never get there.
She meets Harlem, Harlem treats Toi right and spends a lot of time with her. Toi doesn’t want to ruin this new situation she has with Harlem so she doesnt mention she has a baby.
Meanwhile, Toi ex-boyfriend and baby dad Quamir is trying to hurt her chance at anything positive in her life. Harlem and Toi end up having a good story in the book and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the writing and it made me laugh. Cousin shake was hilarious and all Toi friends were cool too. I want to know more about Seven’s character and what’s going on in her situation.
This was a great story and I plan to read on in the series.
