“A great read, very engaging. The characters are easy to relate to and the main character literally grows up as you read the book. I was not disappointed ” -P.T., El Monte, CA

“This perfectly paced, young adult novel is A MUST READ especially during COVID-19 times and for college students, especially women. As a college student-reader who is back at home due to the pandemic, I can feel the pressure that Dabresha is going through in getting your own place, and comparing yourself with friends, or wondering where you would be if you took alternate decisions, like Jakeisha. Characters like Mrs. Vanderkamp made me laugh because those people still exist in academia, despite the book’s setting in the 2000s. If you are looking for hope and questioning life at the moment, or a traveling fanatic or just looking for a book on adventures- then Dabresha Goes to France is for YOU!” -A.L., Laredo, TX
