What I Can Tell You:
As a young girl, I lived in Bensonhurst Brooklyn when I was 13 1/2 years old after my mom died. It was a big move for a young girl from Millbrook, NY and I never quite fit in. Brooklyn is like a different world and I moved out the day I graduated High School.
Suzanne's Brooklyn is the real Brooklyn. It is about honor, family, tradition, silence, and rising above. Samantha is a smart, head strong girl who loves with her beloved Grandma and her ailing mom. She meets Tony through her best friend and suddenly finds herself thrust into the "Brooklyn Boy" world where females are disrespected, silenced and forced to look the other way while their, macho bad boys "peacock" around.
While Samantha is smart, her studly boyfriend quickly has her wrapped around his finger as attention and hormones dumb her down but only momentarily.
I loved and felt for Samantha. She is a good girl who is sidetracked by the beautiful Adonis who takes her shopping, out to eat, and commands respect from the Brooklites on the street. What I loved most about this story beside the quick pace was how Suzanne, writes Brooklynese. I was transported back to the Ave, eating at the feast, hanging on the concrete stoops with my buds, while the sounds of the radio blasts through the oppressive heat.
This is Suzanne Corso's first novel and I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us.
I give this book a 5 out of 5! Great read.

ReplyDeleteEven weight loss diets will have several outcomes as people have different weight loss goals.

these stores to the bloodstream to make certain which they may be
utilized as fuel, and that is why a astonishingly reduced calorie diet plan should
accompany the HCG dosage. Secondly, buying homeopathic
