What A Wicked Way To Treat The Woman You Love

by Jahquel J.

Tiffany, Tyrisha and Mezzie all have one thing in common; putting up with men that don’t deserve them.
Tiffany decides enough is enough and flees to Miami to start a new life with her daughter. While she thought she was escaping her problems back in New York, she’s faced with a whole new set of problems waiting for her in sunny Miami. The palms trees aren’t the only thing that’s shady.
Mezzie thinks being the side chick is having it all. She has the house, money, and her meal ticket – her son – for the next eighteen years. She soon realizes that being second doesn’t compare to being number one in her man’s life.
Tyrisha loves her man. There’s only one problem, tone loves himself and isn’t faithful to her. When she meets Moses, she falls heads over hills in love with him. Although he wasn’t the best man to Tyrisha, he isn’t going to let her leave easily. Especially because Moses happens to be Tone’s connect.
While demanding what they’re worth, they all end up in a web of deceit, drama and betrayal.

First book.

I’m only writing this cuz I’ve see a lot of comments complaining, this was Jahs 1st ever book she wrote so of course it’s has some mistakes and it might seem like it’s all over the place but you can’t deny her growth cuz yall know yall be going crazy over releases dates now!!! So please relax thanks sincerely one of Jahs 305s…

So I really don’t know how to feel about this book. There was, in my opinion, wayyy to much going on. I don’t like how the storyline jumped too much when Tiffany and Madison were shot by Tone.

In the beginning I felt bad for the way Tone was doing Tyrisha but as it went on I realized she was whoring around with many men.
Moses seems to be a decent guy but apparently he can’t break free from her.

On to the second book and the finale.

Not the best quality writing.

This book started out great. I was really into it. I love it when the characters speak in first person point of view. I never read a book where the point of view changed from first to third person, especially never midway. But that’s exactly what happened. I hate reading in third person. Then the quality of writing just declined. Typos started being more prevalent, the story was all over the place and all of it just felt rushed. I’m disappointed.

3.5. It was a lot going on.

[Katricia · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was good at first and then the story became difficult to follow. I enjoy the author’s other work but this one was not good.

[Hyacinth · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was so busy. I had a hard time keeping up with all of the characters and it was so messy. I thought, what in the world? These people are off the chain! And yet, I could not put it down. It was a cliffhanger but it didn't leave me in a chokehold, lol. I look forward to the next chapter. This is my first read of this writer but it won't be my last.

Twists and Turns

Book had so my twists and turns and connections that kept me hooked! Story was great, you can just tell it’s one of her early books because of the typos. Still ready to read pt. 2!

If Love & Hip Hop had a wild night with Jerry Springer and Maury, this book would be their love child. I was not prepared for the rollercoaster of drama, secrets, and jaw-dropping twists. And just when I thought it couldn’t get messier…. it ended with a big fat “To Be Continued.” Now I have to dive into the second book to see how this chaos wraps up.

What in the ghetto world did I just read? 😂😂😂 However, I’m locked in. 3.5 star read for me.

Annoying Characters

I had the luxury of reading this book and listening to it through audiobook. I have to honestly say that this is one of the first books that I’ve ever read to where I didn’t like any of the characters. I know this is one of Jahquel J’s first books so I have to give her some grace because I like to start from the beginning of an authors catalogue to see the growth. There was a lot of interesting things going on which is why I gave it 3 starts. However them characters, Tiffany, Tyrisha, Rashean, Moses, Tone, Mezzi, Kim, and everybody else got on my nerves. I don’t think their characters were developed enough. I don’t know but I couldn’t stand any of them. I am going to read the second part to the book so I can finish out the series..There were so many different plots that ventured off into something else. It went from finding Tone to messing around with somebody’s girl or dude to starting a business to hood ish. It was all over the damn place.

Whew. The WICKEDNESS was working overtime in this book 😮‍💨 Jahquel J. didn’t just spin the block, she spun the whole city with this one. Tiffany, Tyrisha, and Mezzie. Baby, these women had me ready to throw my phone; I was so tempted to grab a notebook to take notes. This book was messy, raw, and too relatable at times: friendships, fake love, and hard lessons were woven into every chapter.

[Readaholic Running Realtor · Rating 3 out of 5]

With friends (and enemies) like Tyrisha, I would be solo dolo for life. She was so self-destructive. There’s no way you can stay loyal to someone who brings nothing but harm and heartache. She dragged her friends through trauma and loss they never would’ve faced if they hadn’t been trying to protect her even when she wasn’t looking out for them.

And Moses…….CHILD!!!!!! I really expected better. His moves were usually so strategic, but in the end, he let love lead him down a path that left me disappointed and let’s be honest him too. We sometimes stay loyal to the wrong person.

Now, Mezzie that’s my girl! I’m holding out hope she gets her happy ending.

SIDENOTE (aka “Don’t come for my stars!”):
Just a quick heads-up my ratings are based on whether I’d reread the book or add it to my personal collection, not the quality of the story itself. So here’s how I roll:

5 🤩 = I’m obsessed with everything the storyline, the author, and the narrators! I read it yearly and own ALL the copies: physical, digital, and Audible. I can basically recite this book. It lives in my private library.
4 🌟 = Loved the story, the author, and the narrator (if it’s audio). I’d happily reread it when I need a solid comfort read.
3 ✨ = Enjoyed the story, the author, and definitely the narrators. A great addition to my yearly reading challenge likely to revisit if it’s part of a series I need to refresh.

I love Jahquel J and her writing growth has me completely hooked not my favorite book, but I see lots of detail and unhinged behavior. That’s comical to me. I’m never gonna not read. Jah’s books please come to Houston Texas. We need a signing or something. My first book of yours is Capone so reading any book after that series it’s a lot to measure up to.

You are writing style is wonderful however, sometimes the narrators don’t match up with the personalities of the characters I did not like the narrator in this book. She sound so masculine. There was no softness tour even when she was supposed to be demure.🤣 a friend, gifted me an audiobook in the Capone Capp series and the narrator was terrible. I think it’s the same lady. Your books are so good. You need a fire narrator. It will only enhance your genius.😏 yes anything with that female narrator I’m not listening to it

[Denetta Banks · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good

A good read with a title that definitely describes the story within. With some likeable characters and some not so much. The drama begins from the very beginning and seems to never stop. Abuse, cheating, arrogant men that think anything they do is okay. Finally the female characters get tired and move on. But between the streets, drug addiction, women addiction, and revenge things take a turn and lives are lost. The storyline has a great flow has plenty of twist and turns. I can't wait for more.

[Abbey · Rating 4 out of 5]

This whole story was beyond insane! Had to get out the white board just to keep track of who was dealing with whom and who was blood related and who had babies together. And that had nothing to do with realising who was working with whom. This was truly drama from the jump and an absolute rollercoaster ride on the crazy train. Now I must know what happens next because I had not expected Mezzie to do what she did there at the end at all, jeopardizing everyone else when it was already decided as a group what was to happen.

I loved this book and I am about to read the other book as well. I hope Moses tell them that Tyrisha isn’t dead because Tiffany definitely misses her best friend. I can’t believe that Tone did all of that to them though smh. Lance was definitely crazy he didn’t play at all. I don’t think that Tyrisha understood the relationship between Tiffany and Mezzie though I honestly thought that all of them was going to be friends after she saved them though.

[Alice Kendrick · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book needs to be a movie!!!! Moses is a doggone lunatic they betta leave that man alone!!!! Tyrisha…. No words really just no words. Playing with fire 🔥 is an understatement. Tiffany was really making me mad. She started off so strong then homegirl lost me. Mezzie started off all bad…. This story was like what in the world? I couldn’t put it down though. Tone lost his mind. Man…. This was crazy 😜

The Hood in the City

The roller coaster ride this book took you on was truly one for the books!!!…
I hope that home health aide is not trying to blackmail them since she seen what happened to Tone and Kim!!!…
Rayshawn has shown so much growth and I’m excited to see what happens next with him and his relationship!!!…
I love me some Tiffany and so happy for her and Marquise!!!…
Those twins were a force to be reckoned with and played no games!!!…

[Lily Kennedy · Rating 3 out of 5]

(3-3.5) A lot was going on, but it was to be expected, since it’s one of Jah’s books.

I was enjoying it, but after a while, I felt as if things were being drawn out, and I was getting ready for it to come to a close. Some people should have done away with it a long time ago and just kept resurfacing to keep adding to the drama/story.

This circle gives it’s truly a small world bc everyone is either related or connected.

[Tiara · Rating 2 out of 5]

I was just confused

Let me say I am an avid reader and huge fan of this author however I found myself rereading pages because it seem like I had missed something. Some of the scenes seemed incomplete like she was cut off in the middle of a thought and then picked back up & started fresh. Idk but this just didn’t do it for me

[Pat Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wicked All Around

DNF. Half way through the story, I gave up on this altogether. This should have been titled 'What a Wicked Way To Treat Each Other' because the women were as scandalous as the men. The women gave such mixed signals I didn't care who they wound up with. Both sexes were immature in the relationships and I couldn't root for any of them.

[Ladii Zig · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow

I know this is a re-release, but this is my first time reading this. All I can say is that this storyline went in a circle, and who I thought was gone wasn't, and the minute you thought it was the end of them, it was just the beginning. Hopefully, I can keep up with the next read

[BossyLadi · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book started off good and the drama was crazy but made hood sense. Everyone was cheating on everyone else. Females pregnant without knowing the father. Drugs. Money. Cars. Etc. Then the book took a turn and went down a crazy road involving kidnapping chicks, selling babies and abuse. The story went off the rails and became so unbelievable that I became bored.

[Robin Perryman · Rating 3 out of 5]

Dysfunctional Characters

Its a small world. Most of the characters were related and\or sleeping with each other. The women were just ridiculous (especially Tyrisha) but the rest were no better. Lace was the crazy in the story but also the most normal in my opinion. This was not one of my favorites from this author and the errors were too many.

[Kali · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good & Messy Messy

Storyline is booming from Ch. 1 and goes nonstop until the very last sentence of the book. A few minor mistakes in names and actions, but doesn’t take away from overall character development and plots of the story.

[Judith Sims · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exceptionally well done!!!

I could've shown I read the old book but this was so good and I can't seem to remember any of this, but it was extremely good!!! Gotta get to the next episode!!!

[Charmaine Downs · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a read!

Jah, this was a slightly different writing style for you. I loved the constant drama, the mystery amongst the characters. The suspense was to die for. I guarantee you'll enjoy the read.

[Chelley Rene · Rating 4 out of 5]

What did i just read lol! So many povs, so much going on but I couldn’t stop reading! there is cheating, backstabbing, lying everything you can think of lmfao the writing is perfect but this was also her debut novel so its fine for me.

[Nikki · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really wanted to love this book but it’s probably the worst one I’ve read by this author.

Halfway through it switches from 1st person to 3rd. The way the book is written drastically changes.

I feel like it had potential to be great but misses the mark…… by a lot.
