Ni-Ni Simone is a Jersey girl with an obsession for reality TV and celebrity gossip. She never intended to write teen fiction, but her editor and the literary gods had other plans.

Shortie was the first of Ni-Ni’s books to be selected by YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) as a Quick Pick for Reluctant Young Adult Readers, and it’s also a Virginia Readers’ Choice Selection. When she’s not writing, Ni-Ni is soaking up inspiration from music, TV, and most of all, the teens out there hanging tough no matter what comes their way. Ni-Ni lives in North Jersey with her husband and their children. Visit her online at ninisimone.com, on Facebook @ NiNiSimoneOfficialFanPage, and follow her on Twitter @ IamNiNiSimone.

Down by Law? Could you be?
By Chocolate Girl
Step back into the 1980's and enter Isis Carter's world ...where 8 tracks existed... cassette players were high in demand...chico sticks and squirrel nut candies were banging, pimps and their bottom bit-hes could have been your next door neighbor...and the glue of a phrase that seemed to hold it all together was simply just being..."Down by Law!" This latest story by NiNi Simone is one that will have you sitting on the edge of your seat...wanting to go to the back to see if Isis Carter made it out of the situations that she encountered...in one piece and maybe have a fairy tale ending of "Happily Ever After" or was she simply compelled to abide by the unwritten rule of being "Down by Law?" Once you open the book and enter into Isis Carter's world with her family and friends you will definitely be left with food for thought...and it will certainly leave you something to think about long after you have read the last sentence and closed the book.
There are many twists and turns, so many lessons, so much love in all the wrong places...This book is another page turner...another thought provoking read... and most of all what are the lessons are to be learned...could you? would you? want to be held to a creed of "Down by Law." How many Isis Carter's are there in the world?
Personally, this book touched me in a way that I didn't think a YA book could. It certainly was a read where I wanted the main character life to go "my way" but everything isn't always tied up perfectly with a pretty bow. There is always a lesson to be learned in what-ever situation one is involved in.
You must read this book to find out what Isis Carter's world taught her and what it might teach you. Afterwards, hopefully, the reader will then think of what contributions can "we" make to the world of the many "Isis Carters" to make it a place where dreams do and can come to fruition.
I certainly continue to enjoy NiNi Simone's YA reads and once again she has taken me inside of a book where I found myself to be totally and utterly emerged. As usual a job well done!

A good book for someone looking to glimpse at another person’s life – a life that is very different from their own.
By Gaele
In the never-ending quest to find new and diverse stories that will appeal to teen readers I have Down By Law by NiNi Simone. Set in the 1980’s, this story follows Isis Carter as she navigates life, love and family with the knowledge and attitude of a survivor.
Hard won knowledge is often skewed with a perspective of us versus them, and it is clear that Isis uses her knowledge and attitude as a shield: get them before they can hurt you. A touch of honest grit highlights Isis: she is justifiably angry and disillusioned with the life she knows: a brother murdered, a mother bailing out, a father who is less present and concerned…that anger and need for acceptance still exist, despite trying to pretend they don’t. While the choices aren’t always the best, there is a clear reason for Isis to make those connections, reasons that start to change as she learns that other paths could be available.
It’s a difficult book to rate – on one hand I wanted to see Isis make better choices for her life, and could see early on how some of those choices could lead to no good. I worried for her, and I kept thinking that something better was available. But, it wasn’t necessarily so: she needed to see and learn for herself, find her own path to realize that she needed to change things up. While I could see how many of the choices were between bad and worse, I couldn’t help but feel the honesty in the situations and the clarity with which Simone shows that divide – not every opportunity is seen, let alone available to everyone.
While this didn’t keep me on the edge of my seat – there was enough angst, drama and intrigue with Isis and her life to keep me reading through the last pages. A good book for someone looking to glimpse at another person’s life – a life that is very different from their own.
I received an eArc copy of the title from the publisher via NetGalley for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.

there was a great character arc and an interesting plot
By Delta Stet
I had a difficult time reading this book. The language and dialogue required careful reading, which took me out of the story. While I also had a difficult time relating to the characters, there was a great character arc and an interesting plot.
