Description
From a fresh new voice with talent to burn comes this brash bitter sweet novel about Tracy Ellison, a young girl with knockout looks, slanted hazel eyes, tall hair, and attitude, as she comes of age during the hip-hop era. Motivated by the material life, Tracy, her friends, and the young men who will do anything to get next to them are plunged into a world of violence, gratuitous sex, and heartbreak. Slowly, Tracy begins to examine her life, her goals, and her sexuality-as she evolves from a Flyy Girl into a woman. A captivating tale, written with fluid narrative and contemporary dialect, Flyy Girl captures the complete feel and sounds of the streets and is destined to become an urban classic.

Honestly this is a rereading, i read the book years ago when i was younger. I honestly liked this book back then and still do. I enjoy seeing the growth not only in age, but also mentally and maturity of a young black girl. We saw the different phases a Tracy’s life and the way she handle every situation, not that most weren’t correct also seeing her childhood bestfriend’s family situations was also amazing especially with Mercedes
