This was a great read. I didn't want to put this book down because I wanted to read more about Nikki and Ivory. Ivory was so in love with Nikki that he wanted to leave the dope game. I was so in shocked when I found out that Maine wasn't loyal!! What people will do to get themselves out of trouble!! You can't trust everybody!! I can't wait to read part two to see what Nikki is up to. Great job Monique S.Hall!! Please don't make us wait too long!!

This book was very enjoyable. The story line was great. The characters were well developed. The author timeline and events matched up. I only had one question. If she was 20 how was she able to buy alcohol? This was story of a guy and girl looking for love that starts out great but because of the friends we keep and the life they choose to live ends up going south and cost both of them a lot.

Can't wait to see how this book continues....

Amazing storyline! Every college girl and every mother with a daughter should add this story to their collection. This was fiction, but stories like these are happening everyday. Nikki and Ivory will be stuck in mind for years to come, marking this book a classic!! Looking forward to reading so much more from this author. 5 stars

Slow....but good

I feel like the book started off kind of on the slow side but it did manage to keep my attention and now I'm hoping that there is a part two because I'm dieting to know what happened between ivory and nikki.

ok

It was ok read. The ending was rushed. I didn't like that. Plus I thought it was going to end differently. It didn't match up to how the author painted Ivory in the book.
