Emotional rollercoaster. I cried a little bit. 😭
November 17, 2024
This book feels like stepping into a classic 90s movie, reminiscent of Poetic Justice but with its own unique vibe. Myeisha, Tia, and Naia perfectly embody the “around the way girls” LL Cool J rapped about, bringing sisterhood, love, heartbreak, and newfound romance to life.
Myeisha is trying to heal after the heartbreak of losing her first love, Johnboy, who was tragically killed on what seemed like a simple food run. With the help of her big sister, Tia, and best friend, Naia, she starts to rediscover herself—especially when she meets TP during a night of skating. Tia, the protective older sister, is caught up with DeMario, a bad-boy drug dealer. While their relationship faces challenges due to his street life, DeMario works hard to make things right, showing his love for Tia. Meanwhile, Naia’s story is bittersweet. Orphaned and navigating life with the help of her boyfriend, Tone, Naia relies heavily on the Holmes sisters for support. Her loyalty to Tone comes with its own struggles, as his secrets unravel later in the story.
This book perfectly captures the nostalgia of the 90s, from the culture to the relationships. The blend of love, sisterhood, and authentic storytelling made it a standout read for me. I especially loved how real and relatable the characters felt.

90s Lovin To the Fullest
Myeisha, Tia, and Naia 😭😭😭😭😭 my goodness a bond that should never be broken. Second chance at love. Blended families. The finger waves, French rolls, track suits, beepers brought me all the way back to my childhood. This series is going to be nothing short of nostalgic and blissful.

I loved everything about this story. I hated Myeisha lost someone so close to her, but it opened the door for mature love. Tia and Demario were so cute. However, I was side eyeing him when he asked to leave some stuff at her house. Poor Naia just couldn't catch a break. Her mom was dead wrong for what she did. Tone definitely hid his dirt well and almost got Demario caught up behind it. TP was a good guy, and he waited until Eisha was ready for another relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed his and Eisha's friendship before they moved on to a relationship.This story was so good with some hard moments.

dope book!
I absolutely loved the book! Myeisha went through quite a bit to achieve her happy ending, but it was worth it. The untimely death of her best friend and the friend’s mother was sad but to some degree, I get it. I definitely loved the 90’s feel of the book as well.

Love in the Chi
Naia's mother was wrong for she done to her and herself. If she wanted to go there she should have left her daughter out of it. Tone was a coward. How are you putting your crime on someone else?
Myeisha is so strong, losing 2 love ones in the same year but I'm glad she has the support system she needed. Tia was an excellent big sister. I'm glad DeMario and Tp came into the sisters lives and showed them love 💕.

I am so happy for Tia and Myeisha. They deserve great men and are happy. TP really came through for Eisha. I hope their future continue to blossom into something great.

90’s Love In The Chi
This was A LOT! From Myeisha to TP, Tia to DeMario, Naia to Tone! The beginning was sooo emotional I didn’t know how I was going to ride it out. Then to reach the climax in the middle was mind blowing 🤯 but THEN he put me back on that slope at the end & I don’t know what to do with myself! This was a good short read with love, a little drama, & definitely the old skool vibes!

90’s in the Chi by Loryn Landon is a novella that packs a powerful emotional punch in a short amount of time. It follows sisters Tia and Myeshia, along with their best friend Naia, as they navigate a rollercoaster of emotions, from the grief of losing siblings and their first love to dealing with gang violence and the complexities of falling in love with men tied to street life. The unknown realities of raids and jail time add another layer of tension and fear to their journey. Each character’s relationship is intricately woven with both love and heartache, keeping me fully invested in their stories.
What truly set this novella apart for me were the nostalgic 90s vibes that Landon masterfully infused throughout the story. From the music and food to the fashion and vernacular, every element transported me back to an era I hold dear. The cultural references added a richness to the story, making it an immersive and memorable read.
This was my first time reading Loryn Landon, and I can confidently say it won’t be my last. She managed to evoke laughter, smiles, and tears, all while delivering a gripping, heartfelt story about love, loss, and survival in the streets of Chicago.

A Perfect 90s Love Story Vibe!
Loryn Landon brought the 90s nostalgia to life with this one, and I was absolutely here for it! From the music to the fashion to the skating scenes—it was like stepping back into the golden era, and it had me reminiscing about all the good times.
The characters were everything. The trio of girls brought those undeniable best friend vibes with a dash of sisterly love and a whole lot of unexpected drama (and when I say unexpected, I mean it!). It’s the kind of drama that doesn’t feel forced but adds the perfect touch to keep you glued to the story.
What really got me was Myeisha’s journey. She’s grieving, locked away in her own world, until TP walks into her life and brings her back to living. Their connection felt so genuine, and watching her transformation was heartwarming.
This book checked all the boxes for me—juicy storyline, relatable characters, and that throwback vibe that had me hooked. If you’re looking for a feel-good story packed with love, friendship, and a touch of drama, this one’s a must-read!
💿✨ Cue up the 90s playlist and dive into this gem!

“Mamma, Said…”
Foremost, thank you for the opportunity to reminisce on my own favorite R&B music, college, friends career, traveling etc., of my own matriculation & maturity experiences in the 80’ & 90’ (yea 😮, I’m equally astonished too, because time has moved rapidly 🤷🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤭‼️) thru the literary works of “90’s Love In The Chi (90’s Love Story - Book 1” what a great artistic contribution👏🏿👏🏾👏🏽💐🤩‼️Ms. Landon successfully presented six (honestly even more) complexed characters and articulated the their diverse compelling survival stories, experiences, traumas, desires & accomplishments with a universal love language of R&B music ☺️! ”Mamma said, there’d be days like this”…the good, bad, ugly, disappointment, losses & wins”. Nonetheless, though all of life’s challenges & lessons shared moments of happiness, joy, celebration with family, friends & a love 💕 makes it all worthwhile 😊‼️

This was a good book to kick off with. The love that John Boy and Myeisha had for each other was so strong and it was sad that he was unalived by Tone over foolishness. Tone was so wrong for trying to pin everything on DeMario when they were supposed to be boys. I liked DeMario and Tia together but not how he made her spot and car hot. I also liked how TP was patient with Myeisha giving her time to heal from John Boy being unalived so it felt natural for them to enter into a relationship. Tone was dirty with his actions towards DeMario and John Boy but he was so in love with Naia. It was so sad what happened to Naia and her baby at the hands of her own mother. Naia was prepared to live life to the fullest despite her cancer diagnosis but her drug addict mother took all three of their lives. Another tragedy for Myeisha to endure. I’m glad that everything was copacetic in the end.

that 90’s love in the hood
This book was pretty good but why did their bff have to go through all that. Envy and greed can cause so much amongst friends but I’m glad Myesha got her closure in regards to Tony
