Acquire The Making Of Dr. Truelove Presented By Derrick Barnes Copy

author has a great writing style and the book was very engaging, There was a lot more sex than what I would have expected for teens that age but it was fiction! Most people in adult novels have a lot more sex than the average person who has a job, kids, any kind of life laughing.
I knew from the first page that I would not recommend it to a younger teen, or even a teen the age that the characters were in the actually story.
Maybe an older teen and I think I would still cringe if that teen's mother found it and said "WHERE did you get this!" and the youth had to give MY name Definitely awkward.
Never mind, I think you should just read it yourself, forget about giving it to anybody's child for Christmas! ed by Jocelyn Pearce for TeensReadToo.

Queermisia
Alcohol consumption
Recreational drug use
Physical assault This Book is awsome read it if you like sex,and love and what teens go through After an embarrassing evening in bed, Diegos insecurities cause his girl, Roxy, to break up with him.
Its all good though, because Diegos best friend, JLive, has a plan hes going to boost Diegos confidence by turning him into Dr.
Dexter Truelove, an online expert on love, sex, and relationships, As JLives plan gets more ridiculously out of hand, its up to Diego to figure out whats really important and win Roxy back.


A little too ridiculous for me, but a good rec for older teens looking for a funnier, sexier, "guy" version of Kimani Tru or Drama High.
I read early manuscripts of this when I worked at a literary agency, When I saw this published and finally go full circle, I was ecstatic! The book was as funny as I remembered.
I'm so happy for this author! Not about gangs, crime, or violence! Diego is ayearold boy with a problem, When he breaks up with the girl he loves due to his insecurities, he is crushed, Will he ever win Roxy back On the trusty advice of his best friend, Diego invents an alter ego known as Dr.
Truelove, a sex and relationship ecolumnist who knows how to treat the ladies, As raunchy as a teenager, Though actually in this book the middleaged parents are pretty raunchy too, not caringor maybe enjoyinghow their love life embarrasses Diego.

Has some reflexive homophobia, but also shows Diego being totally cool with a queer sibling, which seems about accurate for many young straight men.

Vernacular amp slangy in the best way and full of great turns of phrase, Now I'm tempted to refer to round behinds as "onions",

One! This book is on the bibliography of books challenged, restricted, removed or banned input out by Robert P.
Doyle and the American Library Association, More info at sitelink ila. org/pdf/banned. pdf i love this book I have not started reading but glanced through a couple pages and wondered is this a young adult book or for adults since I saw cusswords in the novel.


This book reads like grownups, borderline erotica but has a sense of humor that doesn't carry so much in young adult books.
. . a lot of chitchatter among the characters especially Diego aka Supreme, I couldn't believe not only the cussing but also the sexual content and thoughtprocess in the young man's mind first few pages of the novel.
Difficult to read, not because of writing style but what is actually in a YA book, I would not suggest or recommend this for teens, more likely adults with teen characters,

I made sure I didn't do this in mines regardless of teens are using profane words in their vocabulary.
If so, this is a turnoff for me, especially for our youth literature, and hopefully I can bypass that to read the book.
Pretty good book. I would recommend to a older teenager audience, Happy to see that D got Roxy back, Where I come from, no one dreams of becoming an author, I didnt know any famous African American male authors, I didnt actually meet one until I attended college, I wanted to be a football player, the next Sean Combs, or a rapper anything that would instantly provide me with the riches I would need to “move my mama off of the block”.
I was raised in a single parent household by my mother, the lovely Miss Catherine Barnes, along with my big brother, Anthony, in Kansas City, MO.
My first attempt at writing a real story was in the fifth grade, I think it was about a group of stray dogs trekking across the country to find a magic bone or something.
I cant remember. But I do remember what it felt like when I finished and read it, It felt power Where I come from, no one dreams of becoming an author, I didnt know any famous African American male authors, I didnt actually meet one until I attended college, I wanted to be a football player, the next Sean Combs, or a rapper anything that would instantly provide me with the riches I would need to “move my mama off of the block”.

My first attempt at writing a real story was in the fifth grade, I think it was about a group of stray dogs trekking across the country to find a magic bone or something.
I cant remember. But I do remember what it felt like when I finished and read it, It felt powerful to create characters, places, and stories that began and ended the way I wanted them to, After that I wrote songs, poems, plays, and short stories, I also read like crazy, I remember tying a shoestring around a flashlight, hanging it on the bar in my closet, and sitting in there reading encyclopedias.
My brother thought I was the weirdest kid ever, but that was my way of traveling, of flying, and dreaming, When I graduated from high school, I worked a couple of part time jobs and attended a local community college, I received an Associate of Arts degree in Business Administration, I went on to Jackson State University, a historically black college in Jackson, Mississippi, where I obtained Bachelor of Arts degree in Marketing.
It was there that I experienced life altering events and met people that changed me forever, I met my then college sweetheart and now beautiful wife, Dr, Tinka Barnes. I met life long friends big up to my brothers JG, Killa Don, and Noir, I also became a campus newspaper advice columnist, All three of those occurrences and acquaintances changed my life vividly, but the column, entitled Brown Sugar, gave me the confidence to write with purpose.
I also felt like, for the first time, that I had something to say and that people would listen, Who wouldn't listen to a guy with the pen name "Hershey Brown"Upon graduation, I moved back to Kansas City with no intentions of using my brand new, shiny Marketing degree in a drab, corporate environment.
With the urging of my wife, I sent a writing portfolio to Hallmark Cards, and was hired as the first African American man in the history of the company as a staff copywriter in.
I worked there for three years, I learned so much about crafting my words, about editing, and about constructive criticism, While at Hallmark, I met so many talented artists and was introduced to my now literary agent, Ms, Regina Brooks of Serendipity Literary Agency, Within a month, we had a two book deal signed with Scholastic, My wife and I also welcomed our first son into the world, Ezra, My family and I moved to New Orleans, LA so that my wife could complete her medical residency in, While there we had our second son, Solomon, and I landed a deal with Simon Pulse for my first novel, “The Making of Dr.
Truelove”. We lived there for two and a half years until we were chased back to Kansas City by the most disastrous force of nature in US history, Hurricane

Katrina.
We returned to KC safe and sound, My wife officially finished medical residency and became a full fledged doctor, We had our third son, Silas, and I landed a four book deal with Scholastic for the ultra popular hit series, “Ruby and the Booker Boys”.
Some days, when I read to my sons or go to schools and read to kids, I can still see that little boy reading encyclopedias by flashlight.
Hopefully, a child will meet me and say to themselves, “You know what, its possible, I can become an author! Ive met, and have seen with my very own eyes, a living, breathing author, Its definitely possible for me, ”It most certainly is. sitelink.
