Mar 07, Katrina Burchett rated it liked it Shelves: Since fifth grade Sunday Tolliver knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, and the money she'd need took years for her mother to save. But then her mother's boyfriend needs a loan and Sunday's college fund is depleted.

Will she be able to earn enough money so she won't miss out on a higher education? Sunday is a likeable character and I felt bad for her when she found out about her college fund. Looking at h Since fifth grade Sunday Tolliver knew she wanted to attend Spelman College, and the money she'd need took years for her mother to save. Looking at her family situation I was glad that college was on Sunday's agenda.

I'm not sure how she knew since fifth grade that she wanted to go, though, because - unless I missed something - I didn't see anyone in her life that would encourage such an important goal. Yes, her mother saved the money, but then she put a so-called man before her daughter and gave it all away. It didn't matter if it was supposed to be a loan and she expected to get it back. It was money to ensure her daughter could study entertainment law and she should have told Carlos to find another way or given him her retirement money instead if she was so concerned about his troubles.

Dreya aka Drama is something else! She needs all of the attention and she doesn't seem to care about anybody else. She can be loud and seemingly in control, but insecurity is what I noticed most. I won't say I didn't like her, but her presence was bothersome at times. I'm not sure what's going on with Bethany - why she makes certain choices.

I did notice the envy and jealousy towards Sunday, but I felt like something more was going on with this girl. Sam was a good guy; talented and respectful of females. I listen to different genres, but I know nothing about the music industry. Not a Good Look gave me a behind the scenes look; some of it was good and some of it was not. As I closed the book all I could think of was that I hope Sunday doesn't allow certain people to keep her from living her dreams. Sunday and Dreya were in their last year of high school and love to sing.

They had a girl group and had dreams of becoming stars. Sunday has the voice and the song writing skills, but has long term dreams of being successful. Dreya has the attitude and the man that gets her into the door to start her singing career. Both girls learn a lot in a short time and realize that life is not as simple as they dreamed it would. The competition to be better than the other forms a wedge between them and the jealously is off the charts. This novel was a quick and easy read. I gave it a four instead of a five because it started out slow and took a while to really pick up for me.

In order for sunday to get her college money back, she has to go on tour with her cousin Dreya. Personally i liked this book very much. And what ever happen to Sunday's moms boyfriend?

Cousins Sunday and Dreya were in a singing group with their friend Bethany but then Dreya got a record deal and Sunday whose college fund is now up in smoke works on writing songs with a guy named Sam while she is Dreya's assistant.

Dreya is not very appreciative of Sunday or pretty much anyone else as well.

Not A Good Look (Fab Life, book 1) by Nikki Carter

And is obviously feeling herself a bit too much. Overall this is a good book with a really good storyline and I can say that for every book in the series. My only pet peeve was the Dreya cha Cousins Sunday and Dreya were in a singing group with their friend Bethany but then Dreya got a record deal and Sunday whose college fund is now up in smoke works on writing songs with a guy named Sam while she is Dreya's assistant. My only pet peeve was the Dreya character, it wasn't that I didn't like her it's just that she was WAY too one dimensional.

I was hoping this would change throughout the series but it didn't. Dec 22, April rated it really liked it.

Fab Life: Not a Good Look by Nikki Carter (2010, Paperback)

Great to read about some diverse and interesting girls from the "hood" of Atlanta. Dreya aka Drama is about to get her rise to stardom in the music world. But it is Sunday's hook that takes her there; a small fact that Dreya likes to immediately forget as she lives up to her alter-ego persona "Drama". Some good character developments and a storyline that really left me wanting the next installment asap!

It is a fast read full of action, boyfriend troubles, girlfriend drama, musical achievement Great to read about some diverse and interesting girls from the "hood" of Atlanta. It is a fast read full of action, boyfriend troubles, girlfriend drama, musical achievements and trying to find your place in the world.

Her mom spent all her college fee for Spelman University and her cosuin's b. Sunday got a lot her plate and can't swallow it alll by herself. Until a nice young fella comes and help her along the way. Feb 13, Joanne rated it it was ok. A good story about two cousins trying to make it in the music business. The book is marred by poor writing. The story is told from Sunday's POV in the language that she speaks which is full of "for real" and "don't be a hater" and other street talk.
