Side Chic 5: Another Ratchet Mess
After two tragic losses, Tre is grief stricken and not sure how to move on. If that isn't enough, shortly after he is faced with another blow. With so much coming at him from so many different directions how will he cope. Will it al become too much and send him over the edge? Kisha's found love with her new boo Lavar, he's everything that she wants in a man. He's successful, nice looking, and settled but most importantly he's all hers. The only problem is, he's not too sure if she is truly over Tre. The two of them are a little too close for comfort and he's not feeling it. Will Kisha be able to convince him that she's over Tre and 100% all in their relationship or will Lavar's suspicions about Kisha and Tre end what they have before it has a chance to really get started. Mina has been through it all since being kidnapped by Mello and held hostage in an abandon house. After all that she's been through the thought of death doesn't seem so bad as a matter of fact she welcomes it, it means finally breaking free of the living hell that she's being held in.
As the side chic series comes to an end these characters are face with a lot of life changing events. Will either of them finally get a happy ending or will it all end in another ratchet mess?

Not what I expected!!!
This was a great read although the events had me unhappy from the beginning. I am glad that Tre decided to move, he made the best choice for him and the girls. I am also glad and impressed that he stepped up for those babies. Kisha is another story, sorry but she should of been the one instead of my Lala. I have always been team Lala, so yes I was a little disappointed. All in all, great book La'Tonya West!!!!

This book had me in my feelings. I hate that Lala died because it broke my heart to think about her girls growing up without her. Although they have Tre there is nothing like the love from your mother.This book was good from beginning to end. I wish that it was going to be a part 6!!! Mrs.West did her thing once again!!!

Loved it
I am so sad that this series had to end. This is a book that I can pick up and read all over again I really hate that Lala had to die tho. I wish Tre the best because I really do believe that he wants to change for the better.

This was a very good ending to a very good series. Although I am sad it has ended, I'm excited to see what's gonna happen with Tre and the girls and Novie. Parts of this books tore at my heart, especially Lala's funeral. I hope Kisha finds the peace and happiness she deserves.

😲😢😢😍
Whyyyyyy you kill my girl? Lala made the book more interesting because kisha just rocked my nerves. Like why would she show up at that girl furneral at all. Tre parents where they to console him. Tre lived lala more than he wanted to admit because after her death it really showed. I hope mina get herself together cause mello almost killed her. Kisha needs a reality check cause their is something seriously wrong with her and Tre don't need to try to date no once else from his hometown cause it's gone be some drama. Over all this was a good series

Good series
I don’t care but I’m super mad that Lala died I know she wasn’t right for what happened between her and Tre. I really liked her though, Kisha was something else it honestly would not have mattered because she didn’t trust Tre any longer. I wonder if Novie is going to make the cut. Honestly I don’t want this series to end so I will be interested in reading every spinoff regarding to the crew. Oh yeah Mina and Mia name was confusing me lol I thought Mina has got Corey finally.

Side Chic 5: Another Ratchet Mess
This series was great. I was wondering how you was going to end the series, because you have left us hanging on a lot of the characters. It was still a very good read in its own right, but I’m about to look for the book TRE now.

Finale was just okay
Although I like Ms. West's books, this story was just average. There were typographical errors and appeared that the story was rushed. The most interesting part was the funeral.

The drama continues...no surprise. This one was sad. More than the others. I'm always team Lala. I am not blind though, it wasn't as juicy as the previous books. Lots of emotion but God everyone forgives too damn easy. Still good and of course worth reading.

WOW!!!!Great read
This book deserve more than just a five star, that's how good it was but I was teary eyes about Lala loosing her life, Mina dang Mellow got what he deserve, And I hope Kisha as grow up her selfish as. Tre is really stepping up as a father and I can't wait to her more about his twin boys and twin girls and of course that sexy as Tre.

Great ending to the series!
Love the way the series ended! Although I was hoping LaLa was coming back to life! lol I was surprised by Lavar and Kisha. This series was one of my favorites. Can't wait to read more about Tre.

Mane I can't wait for part 6 to come out . I hope Tre don't have more drama in his life who knows Kisha probably be more ignorant and petty. And that Novie girl probably be on some drama who knows. Anyways I enjoyed this good read (;

Side 5
Kisha just can't seem to find the right man. I really thought Lavar was the one but he turned out to be just like the rest. Tre finally grew up. I'm happy he left to start a better life but I wish he would of taken his boys to.
