The Break-Up Diaries is split into two short stories, Hot Boyz and The Boy Trap.
First, I'll discuss Hot Boyz by Ni-Ni Simone
Is age just a number?
Hot Boyz follows the story of Chance Kennedy, a confident, well-to-do sixteen year old from Atlanta. She and her girlfriends, or the Thick-n-Juicy squad, are celebrating the summer of being 16. Chance has a new car and has dumped her immature, cheating boyfriend Derrell. Carefree and content, she isn't looking for a serious relationship. That is until she meets Ahmad King, a handsome college student from New York. They instantly connect, but there is a problem; Ahmad is 22 and Chance is 16. Knowing her age will push Ahmad away, Chance lies and tells him she is 18. Shocked by his age, Chance's friends tell her to break it off before things get too serious. But Chance can't, because she is already in love with Ahmad.
Will Chance's parents find out about Ahmad? Will Ahmad learn Chance's real age? Will their love survive her lies?
