Book Reviews of The Pledge (Kimani Tru)
Book Review: (4.5 Stars) Moment Of Impact
Summary: 5 Stars
Sixteen year old Courtland Murphy is the co-captain of the cheerleaders and is looking forward to her junior year of high school. A few years ago, she didn't have what it took to turn heads, but now she's topping all of the right charts. Allen Benson, high school basketball sensation and cutie, is all over her. Although her parents have made it clear that she can't date until she is 17, she and Allen become study partners.
A proud member of Worth the Wait, a club that made a pact to remain virgins until marriage, Courtland realizes that it was so much easier to ebb those thoughts while she was single. Unfortunately, now she's been kissed, teased and tempted. Will her love for Allen outweigh the promise she made to herself?
The Pledge is a prevailing teen novel that doles out priceless lessons on belief, esteem, reputations, mistreatment, alcoholism and sex. As a parent, I was so extremely pleased that author Chandra Sparks Taylor tackled virginity and how widespread HIV is, especially amongst young women in the African American community. The Pledge is undeniably a book worthy of recommendations.
