Desire Jones is a young, hot-to-trot teen who lives life on the edge. Abandoned by her mother, she yearns for love and attention. Her uncle shelters her, but life is impossible to bear with his abusive wife. To make things worse, she gets involved with Malik, who shatters her hope and trust by leaving her pregnant and infected with HIV.

Of course, no one knows of her intent, not even her best friend, Jennifer, who unwittingly helps Desire find her victims. Will Desire realize the error of her ways before it's too late?

Ratings and reviews

I didn't purchase this book. I borrowed if from a friend. I can't put the book down. It's very good for the younger generation to read. It's real life about some teenagers looking 4 love in all the wrong places.

I believe this book should b read by many because young ppl are running around having sex and have HIV and dont even know it.. this book can really open ppls eyes

its a really good book but this book is soooo sad this should be made into a movie 5 stars all the way
