What to expect
From Vickie Stringer, the “queen of urban fiction” (Publishers Weekly), comes a scorching tale of love, lies, loss, and the indomitable spirit of a woman scorned.
Mischievous and manipulative, eighteen-year-old Red is an expert at deception with a provocative femininity. She employs her dirty ways—even faking a pregnancy with her boyfriend—to win a closetful of Gucci bags, a deluxe condominium full of baby accessories, a new car, and a book deal. But when one of Red’s scams backfires and she winds up truly pregnant by her inmate ex-boyfriend, Bacon, she finds herself in more trouble than she’s ever known.
The drama truly unravels when Red’s picture-perfect cons fall apart due to—surprisingly—the power of love.
Critics Review
-
“Gritty, gripping…Readers will agree that Stringer, known as the queen of street literature, has earned her crown once more.”
Tampa Tribune
-
“What’s so dirty about Red? The list ranges from the schemes she plays on her friends to the way she takes advantage of every man she seduces…[When] Red sees the error of her ways, it may be too late…Recommended for libraries where urban and contemporary African American fiction is in demand.”
Library Journal
-
“A calculatedly nasty yet redemptive tale of a ruthless woman…Stringer keeps readers riveted with graphic sex, dangerous characters, profanity-spiked dialogue, and nonstop trouble. Stringer’s savvy street thriller has obvious appeal.”
