"The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice."

If you're looking for another dark skin cliché you're definitely in the wrong place. London refused to fall into any of the stereotypes associated with being a dark skinned girl. In fact, there was nothing she loved more about herself  than the radiance of her complexion. 

London's life hadn't been the most eventful. She was never apart of the popular crowd or the type to have guys throwing themselves at her. She was simply your average teenager. Little did she know that would all change soon. Within one summer, London's world would be completely turned upside down.

Then he gets word that his cat, Bernie, just died and he can collect him and bring him home!
