The book discussion was better than our other book before. This one basically talking nonstop. In the First hundred pages there was just so much drama happening. Our book discussion was talking about the beginning of the book until the first clip. In the beginning of the book Winter was talking about how good her life is. Basically she has everything that she could possibly want, Boys, Money, Clothes, Etc. She is spoiled by her father who is a drug dealer. She roams the streets like she owns the people there. Everybody is in Brooklyn knows her because of her dad.
If guys try to get at her, they would have to be cautious because her dad is always protecting her and would beat up anyone that treats her wrong. On the other hand, her mom is more open on what winter does. Winter's mom does not have a job because she says staying pretty takes a lot of time. In people’s eyes, they could say Winter has the perfect life. On her birthday, her dad gives her a picture. They move to Long island, even though Winter does not want to move. Her dad says you got to move around because of his business. They move into a big mansion. She misses Brooklyn so she tries to find ways to go back to visit. One day she lies to her parents, but when she comes back she sees that everything is gone. Her mom tells her that the police have arrested her father and took everything as evidence.
My Group was talking about how her dad could buy stuff even though there was no paper work for the house, cars, etc. We also talked about how this relates to life. There are drug dealers out there and life styles like this. But not all drug dealers can stick to one woman like Santiago can, and they are not as slick as him. It is more like a Too good to be true thing. People these days are running around on the streets living there life and not busy getting their education. The world has change to much focusing on how they appear to people. Winter lies to her friends just to impress them with what she has.
