Synopsis
Sassy and savvy Kayla Johnson is a serious college student at Philadelphia's Temple University. She's also a fine-looking woman, with ginger-colored skin and more curves than the Liberty Bell. But if Kayla's all that, how come she can't find a man worthy of her charms?
When Kayla sets off on a manhunt for Mr. Right, she finds herself hooking up with every hustler, nut, and fast-talking player in Philadelphia. There's Emar, the basketball hotshot who makes his best moves off-court; handsome Terry, who gets downright scary during a weekend in Jersey; and Reese, who'd be da bomb if he'd only drop his white girlfriend. But it's Kayla's relationship with smooth and sexy Wil that really rocks her world and teaches her how to fight for a man-and for her own independence. Because love doesn't get truly crazy until it's the real thing and the only people who don't get played are the ones who stay out of the game
Publishers Weekly
Twenty-three-year-old Daaimah S. Poole targets the TRL generation of MTV watchers in her previously self-published Blackboard hit Yo Yo Love. Temple University student Kayla Johnson is having some bad luck with guys a thief, a suck-up, a cheater and her friends and family aren't much better off. Then she meets handsome, financially stable Wil, who changes everything, until Kayla learns some dirty secrets. There's plenty of drama, all of which is thoroughly predictable and shallow. Beeper etiquette, Jerry Springer and McDonald's provide cultural touchstones; young ladies can read this when they're not kickin' it at the mall. National advertising.
