Between the ages of 21-26, Britney Greene goes from a rather innocent/na ve girl to a highly promiscuous woman. Somewhat of an emotional masochist, Britney is obsessed with male attention and acceptance, despite her already being engaged to a God fearing man. Although raised in a low income household and poverty stricken city, Britney begins to beat the odds and create an escape route by landing a coveted job at one of the most prestigious law firms in the country. Being used and abandoned by a former teenage lover, sexual advances made by her boss, and the death of her absentee father are all factors that lead to her unraveling. Whether you are for her demise or against it, this roller coaster of an urban fiction novel will take you through an emotional journey of love, opportunity, and growth. (Britney's story also parallels the gentrification and restructuring of the fictional city of Tooley, Missouri. Even Britney realizes she is a lot like the crime ridden city she calls home).

If you're looking for a happy ending, you've picked up the wrong book. Just go ahead and put it back on the shelf where you found it, and let's hope that no one else noticed you skimming through this disturbing novel. I'm sure you're probably searching for a book with a happy ending and a little romance, but it truly does break my heart to inform you that there's none of that crap in this book. (Most people I've talked to couldn't even get past the entire first page). In fact, the story of Jasmine Hall is not for the light-hearted at all Ms. Hall is a Chicago native who moved-or fled-to Tooley at age seventeen to run away from her past and make a new name for herself. Instead she ends up earning several additional and unwanted names in the process, such as "homewrecker", "murderer", "stripper", "gang affiliate", "stalker", and "groupie hoe". Before you go twisting up your face in judgement... understand that Jasmine had to go through a lot of turmoil early on in her life, and that might be why she reacts to incidents in ways the outside world might not understand or agree with. Yes, she's done a lot of bad things in her lifetime-but maybe, just maybe all of those things can be justified after reading her side of the story? Whether you're for Ms. Hall's demise or against it, understand that she is a cut-throat individual that could care less about your opinion, and she would never allow herself to settle with being the victim regardless of circumstance. This is the unsettling and unapologetic story of REVENGE... Jasmine's Revenge (Just remember you were warned). -Tangie
