Expectation of Beauty is a great coming of age young adult book.
17 year old Niambi Cook come from a long line of beauty women which include her grandmother. The cook women are known for there beauty which can be a blessing or curse and for the Cook sisters (Rosslle, Delva, and Leslie) it was a curse. Niambi has seen what beauty has brought to her family pain, shame and doubt. Niambi mother (Delvia) is raising Niambi not depend on her beauty but to be smart about life. Delva doesn't want what happen with her and her sisters to happen to Niambi.
Campion Greer is the son of Sean Greer CEO of Greer Communciation. Campion has a lot to live up since he is known as the spoil, rich kid who can get whatever he want.
Campion father thought that it was time for Campion to be thinking more about academics than athletics since he know that Campion is destined for more out of life, so he change his school schedule and got him into AP classes and since they was in the middle of year he would have to be brought up to speed.
Niambi Cook was ask to tutor him to bring him up to speed. Niambi who doesn't particular care for the Greer's especially Campion she think he is a playa and just use people to get back, of course he has had his share of girls who throws themselves at him, but we all know the saying you can't judge a book by it cover but in this case you can't judge a person by things you think you know and that can go both for Camp & Niambi.
Niambi let Camp from the beginning that she doesn't like him and Camp being the type of person he is ask the question why and she tell him because of your last names. Altonya take you on a journey of young love through this book with Camp & Niambi they both have issue to deal with because of their last name. This is a well-written, tender story about a man & woman learning to respect and trust each other. One night while at her aunt club Niambi sees a woman being attack and has kept quite about.
The more time Camp & Niambi spent together the more she see that she was wrong about Camp that he is not what she and the entire town thought, but we have to learn and see people for ourselves. If listening to his friend he would think that Niambi is girl pertaining to be innocent all the time but once he get to know her Camp realize that she is a sweet young lady. They both fight there attraction to each other but in the end they give in to there feeling for each other and fall in love. I can see several books from with Camp & Niambi friends, and I would love to see the parents of Camp & Niambi have stories the sisters and father, uncle and grandfather for that matter. He is a pistol as well.
