Fast Forward by Celeste O. Norfleet

When I first began to read this book I didn't like it, but then it became more interesting. So, where do I start? So much has happened within this book. There is so much to talk about, and so many lessons to be learned. First off Kenisha gets put out of her private school for fighting! She lives with her father because she lost her mother a few months earlier. On top of that she doesn't like her step mother, but has to live with her. She decides to move in with her grandmother after getting suspended from school. She also transfer to the school in her grandmother's neighborhood. She gains some friends and some enemies. Along with enemies, she encounters some drama. She catches the eyes of a neighborhood boy named Darien, and that doesn't sit too well with Darien's ex. Even though Kenisha starts to like Darien, and becomes convinced that he is not a bad guy. She has   been warned that he is not the person to become friends with. She ends up learning, but unfortunately she learns the hard way. She always has her friends by her side.

The biggest lesson of this book is to not judge someone too quickly, but get to know the real person that they are. Trust has to be earned, it's not something that needs to be given away because some people don't deserve it. It always helps to have true friends in a rough situation.
