GRADY BABY 2: HOW DOES IT END?
“The sun does not abandon the moon to darkness.” ― Brian A. McBride, Dominion
Have you ever erased a memory only for it to come back as an even bigger experience you have to relive all over again? One that soothes you yet breaks you all in the same breath. A memory so euphoric that it drowns you in something...unfamiliar. Something so foreign that when it hits you, you can’t breathe. I experienced it, and I basked in it for a moment before it was snatched from me. My first heartbreak so traumatizing that I found it hard to love another. Broken hearted and cautiously navigating hoping I’d never experience it again, then she returned. Heavy emotions pulled at me like gravity resulting in me being stuck in a whirlwind between my heart and my soul. She was what brought me back to life; she was what almost killed me. -GRADY
There was a time I could face him. A time where he was my voice, my hero in a world full of trauma. He was my strength when I was held captive by my weakness. Yet I hurt him. I left him to fight his demons alone while my own ripped me to shreds until I was only existing. Sanity no longer my own as I fought an addiction most frowned upon. A junky steady on the run from my own mental, but he needed me. We needed each other, yet now, his heart was no longer mine. -RHYTHM

😓😭😭
*uncontrollably crying*
Part two of Grady Baby had me deep in my feelings; I haven’t hurt this bad from a book in a while. Grady & Rhythm were soulmate’s, but not in the physical sense. The book picks up right where book one ends and we get to see the characters back in each others lives. Unfortunately, things are not going the way they anticipated- there’s hurt, betrayal, lack of communication, addiction, and loss and they couldn’t overcome all the hurdles. I was so proud of Rhythm—I am literally stunned at how her story ended. This book is heartbreaking but definitely one that I will never forget. Kudos to the author for handling such difficult topics with grace and for dropping so many gems.

5 Star Read × 10
Nakia bought her soul to the table with this book. I promise you won't be disappointed with this book. You may be left in a puddle of tears and snot but never disappointment. I was so rooting for Rhythm and Grady to get back to the love I knew they had for each other. I just knew she was gonna boss up and prove to everyone how strong she really was. She broke my heart, so I can't imagine but I felt the pain Grady felt. If only she realized that she was loved. I guess her demons were just to strong to conquer. Nakia I give you a STANDING OVATION for this one.💗💗

I'm heartbroken 💔 but was an amazing read!!!
OMG!!!!! Na'kia, you don't know what you did to my soul with this ending. Lord I just knew Grady and Rhythm was gonna be together I just felt it in my bones... I literally can't stop crying.. which means you put your whole chest in writing this book. Rhy's family destroyed her ability to love or be loved. She tried. Grady will never be the same. I think Mahogany was just a place holder no matter how hard he tries to love her...

Speechless
I am still trying to get my poor heart back together. I just cannot I cannot. She just ripped my poor feelings to shreds I tell. From the gate to the end I was an emotional wreck! I haven’t cried that much since Drowning without you! Like she didn’t even have to do me like that! She took me down and through it! A most definite must read! Sensational! She did that

You did your big one!!
Na’Kia, you did your big one with this!! Man, get your tissue when you read this!! I hate Rhythm never felt like she was truly loved. I hate that Grady settled for Mahgonie and she lived in Rhy’s shadow. Great read

OMG, the tears won't stop. I haven't cried in a long time after reading a book. The pain that is felt is unexplainable...I can't believe the ending. I just knew they were going to be together. Na'Kia put her heart and soul into writing this one.

Whew!
Honey, this book put me in a chokehold and had my eyes sweating. Na’Kia brought this story to us and took us on a rollercoaster ride. Poor Rhythm just could not catch a break. The heart wants what it want and poor Grady was just dumbfounded because his heart and soul belonged to Rhythm, but he had love for Mahogany. I was not expecting that ending though. Absolutely loved this series and would recommend it anyone who loves a good read.

Nope DNF
Ummmm I wanted to like it. But this is disgusting. Nothing is really happening, I don’t know what happens, because i stopped reading when Rhy relapse, but I’m not about to believe a man will want a crackhead, if I’m not mistaken, Rhy has been using for a few years, that means, she looks older, under weight, sores on her face and her teeth probably decaying, this story is TOXIC beyond repair. IDC how it ends.

Na’Kia
Girllllll you had me in chokehold. I cried so much reading this book. I didn’t want Rhythm to kill her self because she had so much to live for though. I wish that Grady would have gotten to her in time though. Rhythm really did love Grady though but she felt like if she couldn’t have why should she live.

Whewww stressed baby
There is no way NA’KIA made me be in my feelings. I just knew their ending wasn’t going to be great. I honestly can’t say I mad because I already felt like Grady was to giving, I just hate how it ended for him and Rhythm . Trauma for life.

Emotional ride
You can't help the emotional ties you will have with these characters. This story was so well written I felt like I was a part of their story. I dropped some serious tears..., I'm talking throat burning, chest hurt, out loud crying. This book had me in my feelings. Job well done!

definitely a page turner and eye opener
Baby I’m so touched and moved by this story. I can’t say much without giving away the story but my heart goes out for Rhy. She didn’t deserve the hand life dealt her and she deserved happiness.

Wow
I've waited so long for this book and I couldn't put it down. I was praying Rhythm and Grady got their happy ever after but in life the outcome doesn't always turn out for the best. Great read.

amazing
Omg I can’t understand why she would do that but your never know what a person going through. What they’re trying to get off mental illness is real and not being able to love the person the right way

Repetitive
This book has a good story line however it is very repetitive. Also, the characters personalities can be contradictory at times to a personality that was portrayed in previous chapters.

Emotional rollercoaster
This was one of the most emotional books I read. I was in tears reading the ending. I didn't expect that to happen. I can't say much because I don't want to give anything away, but I will say read this series, but be prepared to cry.

just read!!!
i’m so hurt at how it all ended but this was such a great story from beginning to end. Grady & Rhythm’s story is so relatable and real. I wish Rhythm would’ve loved herself more..

Rhythm, I really was hoping she would get to see what happiness because life was really throwing her some curveballs. I’m devastated! Grady I don’t know what to say because I can’t stop crying 😢 in real life.

Depressing
I get making a point but this was over the top depressing and mostly because folks lived with a victims mentality, not accepting the needed help, ugh, it was hard for me to feel sorry for Rhythm after a while, she was her own biggest enemy.

This was so good and deep n I’ve felt like Rhythm before and this hit very close to home. I’m so broken up that she never got her happy ending that she deserved but life is like that sometimes 🩷

I enjoyed this story.
The tears, poor Rhythm just couldn't get it together. Life took her down that dark hole and she never got out. This was a great read.

Lord.. I am not okay 😭. A true story of love and tragedy, and the author made me feel every experience and emotion. It was definitely a heavy read but Grady’s love was just as strong.

oh my!
It’s been awhile since I have read a story that made me this emotional. I could not put this one down trying to get ti the end. I was not excepting that ending.
