Product Description
From best friend to frenemy to flat-out enemy

For her Sweet 16, Jordan Wright gets rid of the frizzy hair, the conservative clothes, and finally likes the hip new girl smiling in the mirror. So when she hears about an open casting call for the hottest rapper's new video, she has the confidence to go for it. She and her best friend, Adrienne, try out with hundreds of hopefuls, but only Jordan makes it. Adrienne seems fine with it. But when Jordan starts getting some serious attention, Adrienne turns into a hater. And after Jordan has an innocent in-the-hall conversation with Adrienne's ex-boyfriend—they dated for one week, like four years ago!—Adrienne plots to ruin Jordan's life by spreading rumors, writing stuff on the bathroom walls and telling Jordan she'd be better off dead. Suddenly Jordan's popularity is fading. Forget sweet sixteen. She soon discovers that what she needs most is to find the strength to be herself.

5 out of 5 stars Great Read!   June 26, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Cassandra Carter's book 16 Isn't Always Sweet is a wonderful book for any high school age teenager. I really found myself engulfed in the book wanting to know how it was going to unfold. For an adult it will definitely make you think back to all the situations that you've placed yourself in...and hope that your children would NEVER repeat to remind you how you were when you were a teenager!

I think Cassandra Carter's writing style is very refreshing and is well developed way beyond her years. I look forward to reading more books by Ms. Carter and eager to see how her writing skills will develop throughout her writing career. She's definitely a very talented writer and you definitely do not want to sleep on her!

Due to some of the graphic language and situations within the book I would not recommend this book to teens younger than high school age.

4 out of 5 stars Really good for teens!   March 20, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is a great book it's about a girl named Jordan who turns sixteen and then with her BFF Adrienne tries out for a music video by her favorite rapper and then she is choosen but Adrienne isn't. Adrienne is really jealous because now everyone is noticing Jordan and not her but at first she pretends she doesn't mind until Adrienne's ex, who only dated her for like 5 seconds talks to Jordan on friendly terms and then she starts planting ugly rumors about her and hanging out with girls that don't like them. It's really good for any teenager not just african-american ones. And although it says ages 9-12, that's not the apporiate age for this book there is mention of things that kids those ages shouldn't read about. Hopefully they meant grades 9-12, though.


5 out of 5 stars Another Very Entertaining Novel By This Young Authoress   March 10, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

The child of a stable, working class family, Jordan's 16th birthday is everything she hoped it would be. OH! If only her birthday wish would come true. This is the year she'll show her parents that she can make her own decisions - right or wrong. Uh, huh. In her easy-to-read and engaging style, Cassandra Carter unfolds a tale of misadventures, a trusted friendship gone bad and Jordan's new beginning. To her credit, Cassandra Carter successfully captures a different teen scenario than that of her debut novel, FAST LIFE. Which reminds me: SEQUEL! SEQUEL!
