Dalla seconda/terza di copertina:

Sassy, funny and at times heart wrenching, Urban Goddess, the sequel to Ms. Thang, is the story of three friends, Brittany, Natasha and Shaniqua, who are navigating their way through the complexities of urban teen life in Atlanta. Brittany desires a luxury car for her sixteenth birthday, while Shaniqua is contemplating dropping out of school to help provide subsistence for her family. Natasha is the nucleus of the group, and likens herself to the Jolly Green Giant. When Natasha’s modeling career escalates, she conquers her height insecurity while her newfound popularity creates enemies who are out to destroy her personal relationship with Stephen. Will the trio’s friendship sustain cheerleading tryouts, new boyfriends and newfound fame? Or will the girls let envy and jealousy destroy the bond they have established since their freshman year in high school?
