I'm sorry, but Ludacris, please either stick to rap music. Or better yet the Fast and Furious movies (which I enjoy let it be noted)
This is yet another instance where a celebrity written book should not be published.
Yes it has diverse representation
Yes it is about a father and daughter relationship (not always seen and books)
Yes it is about a BLACK father and daughter (and sadly, positive black role models are not always seen in literature)
BUT I hated the book. Too much text. The "rhyming" often was a BIG stretch. I tried to rap it in my head or add some beat to it, hoping the cadence of music would help it flow. But no so much.

I thought this book was adorable. I loved that it revolves around the relationship between a young Black girl and her father and loved the positive representation of Hip-hop music.
