One gifted girl, one super diva, one ego too many...

She's got mad talent, her own singing group, and honor roll grades. Sunday Tolliver is this close to making her music industry career dreams come true-until her mother spends her entire college fund. Now Sunday's only chance to get to college means slaving as a "personal assistant" to her diva cousin, Dreya. And since Dreya just got the record deal of a lifetime and an upcoming tour with hip-hop's biggest rapper, Truth, Sunday is sure Dreya's ego-trippin', among other things, couldn't get worse. But when bad boy Truth starts pushing up on Sunday and her life becomes "Paparazzi Blogs Gone Wild," a jealous Dreya is on the warpath. Can Sunday make the right moves before her dreams go up in smoke for good?

I loved this book. I love all of Nikki's books, I would recommend this book to everyone that I know and I do mean everyone. I would be on the street asking strangers to read this book, that's how much I loved it. I think that it deserves 5 stars it was just that good.

Sunday Tolliver is a very intelligent young lady with a plot, plan, and a brilliant future. As a pastime she's a backup singer in a group consisting of her `over the top' cousin, Dreya and best `bestie' Bethany. Dreya has the `it' factor and knows how to work an audience, even though Sunday and Bethany are just as talented vocally. Dreya's rubbing shoulders, among other things, lands her in an ideal position as her career skyrockets and selfishness swells in monstrous proportions. Sunday meets Sam and their lyrical chemistry on paper is proof that this young duo has a promising as well as lucrative musical career...but is the electricity just with pen and paper? Sunday's promising college dreams are dimmed with family drama as her mother gambles it away for the love of her life, who disappears after a near death experience.

Will Dreya's ego cause her to forget all the sacrificing that Sunday has done for her? Is Sam's charisma and intellect enough to keep Sunday's interest or will she fall for her old boyfriend, Romell? Will the trio's friendship be able to withstand fame/fortune -vs- attitudes/jealousy? Sunday's strong, determined, and business savvy can make or break her...which will it do? Does this young diva have enough wisdom to avoid the numerous ditches that are being dug by family as well friends and new associates? Nikki Carter did an amazing job with this teen novel. I enjoyed this read immensely and am extra thrilled that I can share it with my young teen without fear! It's a great read, super storyline, enchanting characters, and the flow is mos def pleasurable! I'm too excited about #2, can't wait to bust that joint open as well! Kudo's Nikki! Continue to pen great novels sweetie! Kudo's to you!

3.0 out of 5 stars Envy and Jealousy

Since fifth grade Sunday Tolliver knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, and the money she'd need took years for her mother to save. But then her mother's boyfriend needs a loan and Sunday's college fund is depleted. Will she be able to earn enough money so she won't miss out on a higher education?

Sunday is a likeable character and I felt bad for her when she found out about her college fund. She mentioned a `hood existence', making it clear that she wasn't happy where she was. Looking at her family situation I was glad that college was on Sunday's agenda. I'm not sure how she knew since fifth grade that she wanted to go, though, because - unless I missed something - I didn't see anyone in her life that would encourage such an important goal. Yes, her mother saved the money, but then she put a so-called man before her daughter and gave it all away. It didn't matter if it was supposed to be a loan and she expected to get it back. It was money to ensure her daughter could study entertainment law and she should have told Carlos to find another way or given him her retirement money instead if she was so concerned about his troubles.

Dreya (aka Drama) is something else! She needs all of the attention and she doesn't seem to care about anybody else. She can be loud and seemingly in control, but insecurity is what I noticed most. I won't say I didn't like her, but her presence was bothersome at times.

I'm not sure what's going on with Bethany - why she makes certain choices. I did notice the envy and jealousy towards Sunday, but I felt like something more was going on with this girl.

Sam was a good guy; talented and respectful of females. I liked him.

Music: I listen to different genres, but I know nothing about the music industry. Not a Good Look gave me a behind the scenes look; some of it was good and some of it was not. As I closed the book all I could think of was that I hope Sunday doesn't allow certain people to keep her from living her dreams. I plan to read All The Wrong Moves and Doing My Own Thing to find out what happens with this gifted young lady, and I'd also like to get to know Bethany better.

Good for teens. Interesting enough. There wasn't that much Jesus in it but God was reference enough. I read it for my little sister who is 16 and I'm 20. we both found it a good read, her moreso though.
