Anthony Witherspoon, whom everybody calls Spoon, lives in Harlem, NY. When he goes off to the Academy, things change between him and his girlfriend, Gabi. He meets a girl named Chanelle who wants to be more than just friends. Then Gabi starts using drugs and Spoon has to help Gabi through. During that time, he starts to consider whether he and Gabi are still "meant for each other". He also has to figure out all the changes in his life and make some adjustments.

Opinion: 

I thought that this book was very well written. Myers portrayed the characters' emotions very realistically. I liked Chanelle because she offered to be more than just friends and Spoon said no and she understood that. She was very understanding. I also thought that Spoon's attitude was extremely calm considering what he had to deal with. I really liked this book and would recommend this to anybody.
