Most times, it’s for the worse, but every blue moon for the better. Though she has a host of eligible bachelors at her feet, only one man can hold her undivided attention. There’s just one he’s off-limits.
Follow Gold on her journey of highs and lows in this urban coming-of-age tale fusing money, friendship, love, sex, and power. This is just the beginning. Welcome to Gold’s world.

4.5 ⭐️ New to me author. This was goooooood! If you’re a fan of Takerra Allen, I’d say you would like this. Similar writing style to me. Two of the couples had an age gap (10+ years between them. Younger girl, older guy).
This was a LONG book 763 pages! Did it need to be that long? The verdict is still out because I still liked the pacing of the book.
There’s a lot of characters we meet throughout the book. It focuses on Gold & her group of friends who are around 20 but they all are turning 21. And then we have Rich and his group of friends who are in their 30s. Plus Rich’s wife & her group of friends. It’s a lot of people to keep up with lol but their groups mingle together 👀
The ending OMGGG my heart hurt for Gold. Can’t wait for book 2.

This was a good ass book. Long but good can’t wait for book 2.
Gold was a fun coming-of-age story. I enjoyed the outfits and the buildup of the plot. At first, I was thinking, where is the drama? But wow, did we get it. I will say that I enjoy the romantic and platonic dynamics of every relationship. It's fascinating to observe how grownups make life decisions while choosing their partner. I enjoy reading about the adults in their 30s trying to navigate life and making errors because you are never too old to start living a new life. We all change with age, so will they settle for the life they chose at 20 or take the chance and fight for the life they desire at 30?
I like how India and Gold are mature for their ages of 20-21, yet their age does show at times. I believe their selfishness is normal at their age. I have thoughts about each ship. The age difference between Gold and Rich is interesting, I don't know. I believe she must mature further before the relationship could be truly solid. To be honest, I don't like Tiffany, and it has nothing to do with Gold or Rich. Just the way she moves as a grow woman is EEeeeeYuccck. Also that dumb shit she pulled during the end like, girl... That ego she has is crazy. I loved E and India's relationship. I adore the bubble they're in, but I'm curious what her parents will say. I don't like Kristin or Chucky; uhh get someone else to do it lol...
I'm peeping snakes from both sides and wondering how it will play out in book two. I lowkey want a time jump for the girls. I'd like to see them mature and flourish with their dreams.

Gold ✨ I was glued to this story from start to finish and cannot wait until the second book arrives because there are questions. I have a love/hate relationship with long books and this one was 700+ pages of goodness with much left uncovered. It’s filled with drama, age-gap romances, friendship, and betrayal. The fashion??? The fashion was literally on 1000, no room for off-brands. Sarafini is a new to me author and I’m looking forward to more. 🤎
sn: I don’t like Rich for Gold. Kristin is dead wrong. Christian is going to hurt Kristin or vice versa. Bryce is shady - what’s going on in the Sunshine State? Tiffany is a hypocrite. Tamia is a bird. Ryan is trash. Jordan is trash. Denay - I hope characters aren’t on bs and they usually are, we’ll see. E & India … yea, hell yea.

Odd review because I dnf’d at the second chapter. Let me explain the 4 stars and why I marked it as “read”. I was excited to read this after seeing some reviews on Facebook, then two days ago someone said it ended in a cliffhanger. You can’t pay me to read a book almost 800 pages and it ends on a cliffhanger, I need more breaks in-between so it would have worked as a series(even though I’m not crazy about those either) for me to read it. This is the one of the reasons I dnf’d it and the other is why I know some would love it. This book is full of fashion and a high maintenance FMC, I know some women that would love this so I gave it 4 stars for that even though for me personally I don’t like it, but I’m not about to hate it. I’m not into fashion and I don’t like overly descriptive writing which this book needs for the fashion side of it.
This book is definitely going to be a 5 Star for some.

I really wanted to love this book so bad but it was just cool to me. If you are a fashion girly you will really love all the fashion in this story. This author was very detailed in the clothing & scenery which was fun but my biggest gripe was it being over 700 pages & not much going on with the plot for it to all end on a cliffhanger. Besides that, I enjoyed that even tho the story was about Gold that you get side stories about other characters, and most of the time their stories were way more interesting. I really wanted to know what happened with Kristen & a few other characters that are sprinkled in the book. A lot of unanswered questions but I guess that’s why you have to tune in to book two to see what happens when it comes out. (Simpered, sneered, & tittered was used so much & so many song lyrics). I buddy read this with my sister & she had similar thoughts but hopefully now that the character building is all laid out we can see where it all ends up in book 2.

This was a LOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGGGGG book! The author uses the words tittered and simpered way too much! I also wasn't a fan of the song lyrics or the clothing descriptions. It felt as if she was just trying to take up space.

New one-click author alert!
This book was a hidden gem that I am privileged to have discovered! The story had me captivated from start to finish. The character development was fire and the drama that ensued throughout made it a page-turner that I couldn't put down! So ready for the next book! Cuz believe it or not, there's a lot more story to tell! Gold, Rich, India, E, Chucky, I got questions that need answering! And I'm willing to wager that this author is from Jersey. The in-depth storytelling, heartbreak and drama that spilled onto the pages tracks with a writing style that seems to be synonymous with greatness from the Garden State (If you know you know)! Can't wait for the next installment! This new to me author has won me over periodt!

NTMA definitely got my attention!
I came across this book thanks to a recommendation from one of my favorite avid reader friends. She definitely delivered. The page count may intimidate some readers but when you open the pages you find an engaging read that keeps your attention from the beginning all the way to the end. I thought it was a standalone at first but as stories began to unravel for some of the characters I knew more was to come. I need the sequel like yesterday. It was an enjoyable read. The twist and turns, ups and downs plus the character development...whew...this story could easily translate to the screen. The fashion, the many locations, the chemistry made for a formidable reading experience. Looking forward to the sequel.

This was so good! 700+pages just wasn't enough.

Yeah, I need the sequel ASAP. This book was like SATC meets Empire meets Power! I loved this cast of characters and the attention to detail when it came to name dropping all of the fashion designers. Having the characters range from age 20-near 40 gave this novel a fresh feel and I was able to memorize and distinguish between the 15 plus characters. It felt like I was reading the script of a tv show because everything was really well fleshed out. Gold was a good main character and although her love interests were messy and entertaining, I was more interested in the side characters' relationships.
February 11, 2025
| absolutely loved this book, the Fashion !! and the Designer Brands were on Point! The FMC is a definite Diva! A great read I am patiently awaiting book 2! The storyline was very well written I have to say we learned a lot about India in book one, she and Golds relationship is a strong one because it started off a little rocky when they first met each other in school and India had to show her the love of the Lord and make her come around, I LOVED that! And Gold is just a bit self absorbed but as she is aging she is learning some things from the different obstacles she has been through. I was so excited to read this book and it did NOT disappoint!!! I loved this book! Great Job! Definitely 5 stars!

Tarnished Gold
If Tracey Ellison and Winter Santiago had a baby, it would be Gold Badeaux. While Tracey and Winter are two of the baddest characters in urban fiction, I’m not sure that’s a compliment here. I usually find myself rooting for the main character, but Gold just wasn’t likable to me. Some might say she had great character development, but I disagree. Gaining a new home and career doesn’t necessarily mean growth; it’s just material. Gold remained selfish, and that made it hard for me to connect. If multiple characters, like Danaya, have to be added to convince us that your main character is a decent person, maybe she’s just not a decent person.
At 763 pages, I was expecting a conclusion, not a setup for a continuation. The length felt like a journey without a payoff.
While I appreciated the nostalgic music references, they often made the book feel stuck in the '90s rather than present day. And instead of listing every designer brand, the story could’ve focused more on building the relationship, which didn’t feel genuine enough to root for.
The end had enough of a hook to keep me curious about the next book though.

Although this book is almost 800 pages long… it gives very little character development… it’s like sitting on a front step in the hood, getting glimpses into everybody’s life … we just jump all over the place… we aren’t diving deep… except into fashion and song lyrics. And I love live fashion and 90’s-2000’s R&B and hip hop , but the references to fashion were even too much for me… This book reads like a summary of experiences and honestly I wasn’t given enough to care about these people… I don’t really dislike or like any of these folks. Despite the authors attempt to write clear villains or hero’s ( I think) . It’s like a story you overheard. I’ve read one other 700+ page UFR book (Demon’s Dream) and this one doesn’t compare. At the ending of my reading I thought, Will the continuation of this story also be another 700+ pages with a similar writing style? I’m not sure if I’m really interested in finding out…

Good Read
I got this book of a recommendation and I’m glad I read it. It was really good. The author took their time to develop the story. With it being over 600 pgs I thought this would be a standalone, but as I got halfway through I knew it wouldn’t end with just this installment. The author dropped little bread crumbs about a few characters and there is so much more to still be uncovered. I thought E and India were my favorite but Chuck and K are almost tied with them. I can’t wait to read the next installment.

I loved the story. I loved all the characters. It was hilarious. Well written. But there was absolutely no plot, just vibes. & I can’t wait to read the sequel.

This was a 5 star read for me as I am an empathetic reader. I love to FEEL emotions—more than one—while the writer takes me on a literary journey. The ONLY thing I didn’t care for were the age gaps, but to each their own. The story still flowed amazingly and as a girl who loves a good outfit, Ms. Gold had a taste for fashion! I can actually visualize Gold. I can tell Sarafini took her time to develop the storyline and give us this 700 plus page turner.
I actually felt bad for Tiffany at the end. I am hoping to see Bryce again. And Rich….he need to stay far away lol. India did what she needed to do. And with friends like Tamia, who needs enemies?! Can’t wait for part 2.

I loved the storyline, the characters, the fashion, and the music. Someone described it as “no plot, just vibes,” and I couldn’t agree more. Emotions feels like a club I used to frequent in my 20s. Let me see if my friends want to go to Martha's Vinyard. Ugh Tamia is a bird!! I need to know what Maleek is going to do with that information. We need a part two!
February 7, 2025
I loved everything about this book. I dreamed about the characters when it ended. I truly hope the author does a series for each of the characters. I could also see it as a television show. 10/10

This book was really good. I couldn't stop turning the pages. I so loved Ephriam & India. She was just who he needed. India was girl hands down, a real friend with no alterior motives.
Now Gold & Rich! I had to throw my morals out the window for those two. They were just so hot and matched so well. Honestly, Gold was hot with all the men in her life. lol
But I have to keep in real. The book ends on a cliffhanger. And for a book to be 800 pages, that should not be. It should've ended and wrapped in a bow.
I gave it 5 stars but that may change the more ponder over the ending. It was really disappointing.

Simpered. Tittered.
You can tell that the author really does her research down to the minor details in fashion, travel, etc. Sad that it took 700+ pages to end on a cliffhanger.

Overall, I'd say the story was okay, but there were a few things that really disturbed my reading experience. This book did not have to be so long!! Simpered/Tittered: in the next book please use other words. These two words were used way too much. It was distracting. Stop with the song lyrics. Multiple lines of lyrics?! Why did India and E's story just stop?
Anywho, not sure if I'll read the next book. I think if it's less than 500 pages then maybe.

Wow just wow!!!
I have read so many books between 2024/25 and GOLD by far is the BEST!!! I ate this book up in 2 days. Please I hope we get part 2 ASAP!!
HONESTLY, without any spoilers Gold and Rich are meant to be. I hope in part 2 we get a lot of things answers especially with Bryce.

Run, don’t walk!
I cannot express how phenomenal this book is!!!!!! Omg the depth of each character, the storylines! I appreciate that even with numerous characters their arcs were easy to follow. Sarafini’s writing had me hooked from the first page, the way she weaves details into the pages is so refreshing! I was drawn to this book because of a TikTok description from msbentivegas… And baby, let’s not forget the fashion!!!! It was so refreshing to reference the clothing and get a sense of each characters style. And let me say the characters are F L Y!
Rich & Gold
Gold & Bryce
India & Jordan
India & E
The bird clan; Kristin, Tiffany, Kayla, Porsche (the only one I actually like from that crew)
I think this will be in my top 5 favorites for this year. I don’t want to give details away but please don’t overlook this book. It gives everything you’re looking for- scandal, drama, love, hope, betrayal, deceit, grief
And a bit of trauma (beware)

Best Read of 2025 Thus Far
Can’t wait for the sequel. I actually liked Gold with Bryce. I wonder what was going on with him. I loved Chucky with Kristin as well. Start reading this from a Tik Tok recommendation and don’t regret it.

Amazing book!!
I’m so happy I discovered this author! I can’t wait to see what happens next with Gold and Rich because I know their story isn’t done. I kind of liked her with Bryce too. Can’t wait to find out what he was really up to as well. Tamia needs to be watched. She loves the crew but her jealousy is going to ruin their bond.

3 ⭐️ a hood rich version of a coming of age Sex and the City is how I would best describe it. The fashion descriptions were the biggest highlight of the story for me but I felt the book was mostly just vibes and no real plot especially for the length of it. I would love it as a tv show though!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE BOOK!!! 🤩
Stop what you’re doing and pick up this book right now! The plot was thick, the turns were twisty and the mess was some of the best I ever read. I literally have no complaints about this book.
Everyone was human. They all made real choices and the rewards/consequences reflected that brilliantly. Nothing about anything that happened in this book felt unrealistic & I loved it!
My sincerest hope is that there will be a part 2 bc the last 10% of the book, ish popped real hard & I need to know the fallout!!!! 😩 I was gagged, jaw dropped, mouth agape when I was reading the end & I just need to know the resolution!!!! lol
I love India & E together. I think India is an amazing best friend to Gold. She’s straight, no chaser. And she holds Gold’s feet to the fire but also practices wisdom with when & how to tell her about herself.
I’m really rooting for Gold *whispers* & Rich 🫢 but specifically Gold. She’s so talented and young…she has the world at her feet. And after a tumultuous childhood thanks to her abusive brother & loser mother, she really deserves the best.
I’m sorry, Tiffany was a loser this entire book. And I can’t say I didn’t laugh at her ending 🤭😂
Kristin is on the fence for me…but I do like her & Chucky together 🫣 (I’m sorry, I lowkey reeeaaallyyy like the cheating trope) but Robbie?!?! 😮💨😭 sorry to that man 😩
Tamia will be dealt with for selling her “friend” out like that to Maleek. That was a loser move. For money?! And then flirting with Stone?! Ugh. She’s disgusting and karma will be waiting for her.
I think that’s all for now. But I loved this book so much & I think everyone should read it!!!

Whew 😅! Where do I️ even start?!?!
It took me a hot second to adjust to the writing style with the multiple characters being introduced and their POVs being intertwined with the mess (& fashions 💁🏽♀️). But once I️ adjusted I️ was LOCKED TF INNNNN! Was skeptical about E and India but I’m really liking it. Can’t stand Tiffany and lowkey I️ can’t stand her friends either 🤷🏽♀️. However what’s happening with her storyline definitely has me intrigued - cause prison Ms. Girl 😳😱?!?!?! Did not see that coming. Christian & Kristin, ccchhhhiiillllleeeeee 🫣. I️ don’t wanna say too much else but my goodness I️ shed a couple tears for Gold.
Is there going to be a part 2? If so I️ can’t wait to read it! I️ need to know what’s going to happen with Gold and the gang. Definitely was a 5 star read and earned a spot on my recommendations list

Is there going to be a part 2? If so I️ can’t wait to read it! I️ need to know what’s going to happen with Gold and the gang. Definitely was a 5 star read and earned a spot on my recommendations list

one of the best books of the year
This book is a sleeper I randomly came across. It was so damn good. 700+ pages and still couldn’t get enough. Gold and India were two young fashion girlies who were gettin it while having these grown men in a tizzy, ya hear me?!
So many ups and down for my girl Gold. The character development in this book was top tier. I absolutely cannot wait for part 2. Tiffany please. Just go. Rich get your life. Literally. Bryce- what are you doing over there. Kristin 😬😩. Gold, as out good sis Bey said “the best revenge is yo paper”. I hope Atlanta is good to my girl. This book was too 🔥🔥🔥 can’t believe it was the author’s second release. Masterpiece.
