Queen of Urban Prophecy

This is a contemporary novel about a young rapper on a cross-country tour. I thought Deza was a great character - she makes some silly decisions because she's young and she puts a lot of pressure on herself but she's smart and funny and passionate. The other characters are a bit more thinly drawn but they mostly do the job. Unfortunately I found the love interest kind of wishy-washy and boring, so the romance aspect didn't really do anything for me.
