Denim Diaries 3: Queen of the Yard by Darrien Lee

Patience is the newest character of the Denim Diaries and this book is about her life with BGR (Brown Girls Rule Gang). Brianna Baxter ,aka Patience, is a senior and the head of the BGR Girls. As the school year comes to an end she feels that the time has come to break up the BGR and move on to better things in her life like going to Spellman University and being involved with the love of her life Tyric. Well you know that being in a gang things do not end that easy. This is where Kayla and Desiree’ come into picture. These two members of the BGR has a personal issue with Patience that can have a very bad consequences if it goes down. But before there plan can go into action they are over heard by Demin. Now Demin takes it upon herself to tell Patience about what is going on. It is not until the end of the school year that you find out why these two ladies want to get at Patience. The rest of the Demin Diaries gang is back and of course they have their own issues with love, parenthood, and school. Will Patience be able to end this senior year on a easy note or will she have to use her head to avoid the trap that has been set for her…




Darrien Lee has done it again.. Another 5 star book in this teen series. You would think that this series would be mainly for girls but I really see this as a gender neutral. She gives the character such daily life issues that plenty of teens go through. I wished that this book was around when I was going through. But this book shows one main fact that even though you are from a certain area and in a gang that does not mean that you can not turn your life around. I love the fact that she illustrated that. Darrien Lee has to have a teenage child in her soul because only a true writer can bring it to there level with this much enjoyment.
