Summary
Hope shines in the face of fear in this conclusion to Sharon M. Draper’s award-winning Hazelwood High trilogy.

 

In her senior year, things are finally looking a little brighter for Keisha. Still haunted by the suicide of her ex-boyfriend, Andy, she finds comfort in the attentions of the new track coach, twenty-three-year-old Jonathan Hathaway, the principal’s son. How can Keisha not be swept off her feet by a tall, dark, handsome “lemon drop wrapped in licorice” who treats her like a woman, not a girl?

 

But suddenly this intoxicating relationship takes a frightening turn, and Keisha is once again plunged into the darkness she’s fought so hard to escape. Will Keisha ever be able to find her way back into the light?

The book was slow at first like most books. It took a while to become focused. The personality of Keisha was almost tooo perfect but left me thinking that there are teenagers who respect their parents/ who are aware of their environment and try to use common sense rules for situations. I also appreciated the character of Rita who was the opposite of Keisha’s character. Let us know things are always black and white. Yes ...There are many Jonathan’s that prey on girls and boys. They do get caught!! Thank you
