Reception
“Tyree captures black language as it is spoken among peers." Publisher Weekly says.”The conversation of youngsters caught in a highly pressured sexual atmosphere, test-driving their sexualitly long before they’re old enough for a license, is profane and vivid.” From publisher weekly the novel ‘Flyy girl” is a good but overrated book. it has alot of “Black Language,” “Highly Sexual atmosphere, test driving their sexuality.” Also publisher weekly says that “The narrative flow is often disrupted by too many italics and slang-defining asides, and by a rocky imbalance between neutral narration and vernacular. The real problem “here” as in the novel is a crucial lack of depth.”
