Just Say No! is one of my favorite novels. It follows a young man from North Carolina with a gifted voice as he struggles with the power and money he gains from a sudden rise to fame. I found myself laughing out loud at some of John and his best friend Darin's antics, but also there's a very dramatic element that will having you gasping in shock and eventually in tears. Omar Tyree did a great job with getting into the characters and making them real.
