"Cousin-culture is a huge part of African American culture. My mother likes to say, 'cousins are your first friends' and this is also true for the protagonist in the book (especially since she is an only child). Nicknames are important, they are badges of honor... but our young narrator is the last cousin without one. As the narrative starts we are introduced to each cousin, where he/she lives, and how they earned their nickname. This is story is a coming-of-age tale that showcases the dynamics of a girl who lives in the inner city, trying to carve an identity for herself within her large family. After attempting to 'try on' her cousins' names, she learns that being herself is the only way to earn a nickname that fits her, and only her."
