Summary: Very well done, but too short...
Comment: I purchased this book at a recent book signing in CT. Ashanti autographed it personally, and her laid-back, down-to-earth personality in echoed in the sweet poems and personal stories in this suprisingly well-written book. Ashanti discusses proms, being stood up, kissing, cheating, jealousy, hope, and falling in love. For such a young girl (she is only 22), her stories and poems are very well written and easy to read and relate to. They reflect her smooth, catchy, and real lyrics to the tracks on her smash album. The poems lack much irony or incredible depth, but they don't sink--they swim. Ashanti's poems follow the common A-B rhyme scheme, which makes them easy to read. You'll find yourself smiling as you read through it (which will only take a few hours, considering its short length). Many people have been bashing this book because Ashanti's poems aren't incredible--but this is Ashanti. She's not Walt Whitman or Emily Dickinson--and she doesn't try to be. Ashanti writes what she means and means what she writes, she doesn't try to be anything she isn't. For content, this book deserves 5 stars, but it lacked in length, bringing it down to 4. Still a recommendation, and worth the money.

Summary: This Book Is For DIE HARD Ashanti Fans Only!!
Comment: I don't think Ashanti really put this out to show that she was some great poet, I think she was told by her handlers to put out one more thing for fans to buy. Strike while the iron is hot. This books is for die-hard fans only because they'll be the only ones to really get something out of this. I found the entries to be redundant and wishy washy. In one "reflection" Ashanti is trying to tell young ladies they don't need a man, love yourself, and play hard to get. Then in the next "reflection" she's saying that she wants to be with her boyfriend constantly, it's ok to have a little jealousy in your relationship, she's sneaking out of the house and from school for a guy. Which examples do you want young ladies to follow? It's one thing for Ashanti to write about her experiences but if she's trying to pass on lessons at least lead by example. It sounds like she was doing big girl things at an early age, some girls are mature enough for that but many are not. I give this book 2 stars instead of 1 solely based on the strength of her fans. They'll love anything she does like a true fan would, so I can see how they'll eat this up. Maybe with a little more time and proper editing this would have been much better.
