I’ma be honest, I’ve sat here for I know a good ten minutes deciding on a description of this series. LOL! Staring looking at a blank page. So, here is what I've come up with.
Like so many people can relate to very good songs, I’m pretty sure someone can relate to these chapters in some way. I'm going to let the main characters of this first series speak for themselves.
Just. Press. Play .

The only thing I can say is this series is not talked about enough and I don’t like that for us the readers.
You will FEEL as if you’re in the room and in the book as you read. That was Goldieym’s goal and she did it plus more. 10 outta 10. You will feel everything. The love, the hurt, the pain, the family bonds that are built amongst friends, the protectiveness, the black community. YOU WILL FEEL IT ALL!

Wowwww
What a crazy ride!!
There’s a lot of characters in this book, but that don’t bother me! I actually enjoy crazy and messy stories!
I did have to take notes to remember who was who! I’m sure it will get better once I jump into book 2!
With this being the first book, this was a good foundational piece! We are introduced to all the folks and how they are tied to each other!
I didn’t really start piecing things together until they was at Wal-Mart! I still feel like Amari has something to do with it!
The ending was crazyyyyyy! Like Eniko WTF are you doing bruh. Like why would you do that! lol
Looking forward to reading Book 2!

It was a close call
Okay this had a slow start and I almost let it go as a DNF, but when I tell you that it picked up and l was so intrigued! It flows well once the pacing picked up! It feels like you are right there with the characters which is what the author intended! Enjoyed it and couldn’t put it down! I cannot wait to get into book 2.

Whew!
Chileee, it took me a minute, but I made it lol. I just knew he wasn’t going to stay gone long smh. She should’ve gotten that taken care of as soon as she left. Why hold on to that man that long when you got the money to handle it smh. Him being connected is going to start some ishhh. On to tape 2.

5 stars!! I really enjoyed the story line. It was so easy to get lost in each characters story. l also enjoyed the playlist, it matched each character so perfectly! As soon as book 1 ended, I looked up book 2 and immediately started. Can’t wait to see what else is in store for us.

confusing
Way too many characters with complicated names and too many plots that made little to no sense. This is a DNF for me

Definitely not what I expected!!
First off, the chapters named after songs? Genius. The vibe was chef's kiss perfect, with each one syncing up with the story flawlessly.
Let’s talk characters—Promise had me in my feels, for real. Her strength, bounce-back game? Unstoppable. Every girl needs a friend like Monie. She’s real, loyal, and always got your back, especially for Promise. And don’t get me started on her own story—straight fire.
Tayonni’s quiet strength hit different. I just wanted to pull her close every time she held it in. Kyrah’s the rider every squad needs, no questions asked.
Leuh? Hilarious. Her personality kept things light when everything else was heavy.
The BAWSE boys? Too much BDE. Drama, tension, and straight chemistry that’ll have you hooked.
This book is raw, emotional, and a whole vibe. If you're not invested by the first chapter, you're lying. The Chris Brown references? Perfect. You gotta read this.
