I enjoyed this book. I was so heartbroken about one of the characters, damn neared cried. This book doesn't need another series. The ending was a close chapter. I'm so glad Nitrah and Troy figured out everything, even though it took them 10 year. I was surprised about the real reason that the scam was brought on. Can't wait for another book by Tamika Newhouse. She's an amazing author.
I'm so glad Nitrah & Troy finally got it together and admitted their love for each other. All of the characters have matured through the death of their close friend. I loved that Charmaine ended the story telling what happened to her, she is at peace. Everything worked for the good for all of them. It was a great way to end the Ultimate No No series.
