About this book
From a fresh new voice with talent to burn comes this brash, bitter-sweet novel about Tracy Ellison, a young, middle-class teen coming of age in Philadelphia's ostentatious eighties. Tracy is willing to go much further than any of her girlfriends as she sets out to lure the most popular boys in her neighborhood.
Spoiled by her relatives and too much for her mother to handle, Tracy uses her personal brand of intimidating flattery to conquer one guy after another - until she meets her match in Victor Hinson, her Mr. Everything.

Too grown and too fast for her own good, Tracy races through her sixteenth year, collecting designer clothing, jewelry, and street-smart boys with wild abandon.
While Tracy pursues her adventurous, fast-paced lifestyle, Raheema, Tracy's girlfriend and neighbor, follows a very different course - struggling to maintain good grades in school and to avoid the powerful pressures to stray from the path she's chosen.
Slowly Tracy begins to examine her life, her goals, and her sexuality - as she evolves from a "flyy girl" into a woman.
