What Parents Need to Know
About The It Chicks
Parents need to know that this book features kissing and petting, a character poses nude for an art class drawing, and girls talk about sex toys. One character even describes whipping her boyfriend "with my bra while he lies there in a fetal position and sucks on the heel of my stilettos." There is drinking, drug dealing, and using, and lots of strong language. Some labels are dropped: Red Bull, Starbucks, Fendi, Roberto Cavalli, Christian Louboutin, plus the names of real hip-hop artists.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about young adult books -- like this one -- that feature lots of gritty, mature material. Is it OK for authors to push the envelope if it gets kids reading books? Do authors like Tia Williams promote unhealthy behavior by writing books that make drugs and sex seem glamorous?

I love this book
I must say that even though most of the characters in the book are between the ages of 15-18 as a twenty year old I felt that I could relate, the story was real, romantic, exciting and left me wanting more. A must read for adults as well as teens
- I rate this title iffy for age 2 and give it
This book is okay. Although, I didn't like the constant amount of prouducts being mentioned. I don't want to read a catalog.

Pure GARBAGE!
This book has absolutely no redeeming value to anyone of any age. It's unbelieveable that such trash is published. I guess it's a case of "anything to make a buck".
