Yo Yo Love

Twenty-three-year-old Daaimah S. Poole targets the TRL generation of MTV watchers in her previously self-published Blackboard hit Yo Yo Love. Temple University student Kayla Johnson is having some bad luck with guys a thief, a suck-up, a cheater and her friends and family aren't much better off. Then she meets handsome, financially stable Wil, who changes everything, until Kayla learns some dirty secrets. There's plenty of drama, all of which is thoroughly predictable and shallow. Beeper etiquette, Jerry Springer and McDonald's provide cultural touchstones; young ladies can read this when they're not kickin' it at the mall. National advertising.
