Stumble It!
Absolutely fabulous book…
Much better than the hyped Terri Woods series.
Glad to hear it is being made into a movie.
I’m so excited!!!This has been my favorite book since I was 14. I read it at least once a year and it made me a stronger woman. I’m glad that I read this book it got me through Highschool without being pressured into sex, drugs or anything that would do any harm to myself or my spirit. Thankyou for letting me voice my opinion!
I really love this book. It was extremely inspirational and it spoke to me. I can’t decide if I want to see the movie come out. I think that the words speak for themselves and tell this story so well. I’m afraid that it will be too commercialized and it’ll loose it’s deep meaning.
I wrote a paper in college on this book. I have a love/hate relationship with it. When I first read the book I could not put it down. I have given it to several people to read and would encourage Sapphire to write more books. Sapphire is an awesome believable writer. Cant wait for the movie. Peace & blessings. ~~Precious
