Well, at least I FINALLY know what a Molly is! I was about as naive as Hazel was when I bought his book. I knew it was bad of course, but I don't use drugs so I never knew the extent to which this drug affected people!
Poor Hazel never really stood a chance! The addictive behaviors of her mother AND grandmother were engrained in her, literally, from the womb! She was very sheltered, then she was thrust into the life of the 'hood and the wolves that waited there. And for them, she was perfect prey with her good looks, virginity and naivety.
Hazel was not alone. Her 12 year old brother Calvin was along for the trip into the hood. He was hanging out with the flamboyant neighbor much to his Pastor Grandfather' dismay. He was being exploited and exposed. He was into hair now and a lot of other things most young boys his age thought were girlish. Hazel should have been his protector, but she was too busy looking for her next high to do anything other than exploit and extort him herself to get that high.
It seems as soon as she began to fit into the ghetto life other curve balls would be thrown at her pushing her further into depravity. Her addiction grew as her inhibitions shrunk. She was down to do anything for the next taste of that Molly. From sex with studs her age and 3xs her age, to sex with a dealer, to strip clubs and everything in between; she was absorbed in a life that she really wasn't about in the end! I gave this book five stars because the story line kept the excitement, intrigue and momentum going from start to finish and Sa'id, as usual, did not disappoint!
