A Hustler's Fantasy

True To The Game By Terri Woods
pg 1 - pg 132

True To The Game by Terri Woods has this character named Gena that has to be the popular girl, that everyone knows of. If Gena isn't the popular one then she feels miserable. Gena seems like a real and believable character. You got the kinds of people who don't "fit in" in school, at their jobs, and maybe even their own family. Then you got the popular kids who have to be seen and shown off. It may not be just from their prettiest, or even their intelligence, it may just be having a relationship with the biggest drug dealer in the city. Quadir, is the drug dealers name. To him Gena is the one. All the other girl's don't mean nothing to him as he say's. He makes a lot of money. Everyone wants someone that makes money. Quadir makes it the illegal way. That isn't always the way to go necessarly there is other ways to make money. THE RIGHT WAY.
In Quadir's eyes, he's been looking for Gena for awhile. He has secrets but doesn't tell Gena. Gena is suppose to be his girlfriend, why he doesn't tell her things, things that she should know before she starts falling in love with him. Gena has a family and so does Quadir. They abandon what they have to go on a vacation. Isn't quite a vacation when things get hectic on the other part of the city. If you were Gena would you think about the consequences that you would have if you started a relationship with a drug dealer?

I don't know Brittany, is this another case of girls being drawn to "dangerous guys"? Why do you think that is the case? Great question, by the way.
