I stayed up at night reading this book into the early morning and omg!! 😭 this literally was a waste of time. I literally can’t, one I just want to point out the unnecessary filler words that dragged this book along to make it reach its word count.
And then you leave us with an ending like that. Which don’t make any logical sense like bffr.
Knocked Up By A Billionaire Baller follows a woman impregnated by a professional athlete. The story introduces protagonist Nas alongside key characters: her best friend Kimora, love interest LeMelo, his cousin Kendrick, and antagonist Ashton. This book, one of two in a duology, establishes the setting and central conflict. Character development is very prevalent throughout. Every character is vividly described in each scene, though this descriptive style can feel heavy-handed. The extensive focus on clothing and appearance makes sections read like advertising. Despite the plot-driven title, the narrative is character-driven with multiple perspectives that shift between first and second person. While this dual perspective approach creates a conversational tone, it sometimes feels as though the reader is listening to a phone conversation rather than reading. The book's greatest weakness is redundant narration. This repetition disrupts pacing, slows the story, and forces the author's intended meaning onto the reader, eliminating one of the best aspects of reading: drawing your own conclusions. I wanted to enjoy this book more because Malicia Bond clearly enjoyed creating these characters, but the execution fell short of its potential.
This book was so good Nas was a sweetheart just chilling enjoying herself. Ashton was a hater always messing with someone thinking she is God's gift but her attitude makes her really ugly. Melo was a handsome guy looking to have fun and not catch feelings unfortunately Nas has a hold of his heart unexpectedly. Kimora is the best friend of Nas and everyone is on a trip to celebrate her up coming vows. Things happen with Melo and Nas and Nas gets scared and runs away. Nas has a secret that no one knows but tragedy strikes and things get really bad of course the jealous devil Ashton is involved hurry up part 2 that ending was crazy. Job well done Malicia.
Ashton is a hating ssa h I can’t say the word don’t want to be block on this blue app girls like her wonder why they can’t find true love or happiness cause of her attitude and they way she thinks I hope Nas don’t loose her baby cause she wanted to tag Ashton she should of waited till she drop her load but if I know any better Malicia also going to keep us readers on our toes can’t wait for part 2 cause I need someone to really tag Ashton how she should be tagged 😂😂😂
I really cant stand Ashton. SHE is a gold digger an trying to find someone to use ,her an her mama. I really hope Nas don't lose the baby cause Melo is going to act a fool i see. I love how Kimora an Kendrick are together they are a power couple like Kimora said an she dont play about Nas so this bout to get ugly. I don't like how Nas up an left like she did it was so childish on her part an look her one night stand turned into a night of making a baby. I cant wait for pt 2!
The pettiness and messiness from Ashton made me want to reach in the book and smack her. Jealous build a body under grown woman acting so childish!! Kendrick and Kimora love for one another is strong. Nas needed to let Melo know about her true feelings as well as about her being pregnant. Can’t wait to read about the drama that will be unfolding in part 2. Upset that it happened during the wedding
Malicia please pull a miracle from somewhere!! Nas don't deserve that type of loss and heartache. I'm so sick of Ashton. It makes no sense how jealous hearted she is. Melo didn't want her whether he got with Nas or not. For her to be that miserable to meddle in people business is crazy. I don't blame Nas for wanting to put hands on her but I wish she would have just walked away. I hope the baby be okay.💕💕
I just want Nas to get her happily ever after she deserves. I hate she pushing Melo away. Ashton trying to sliver her way in. Ashton is trifling. Whole time she been plotting and secretly hating on this girl. Karma is a bihh I can’t wait to see what happens to her in part 2 cause. Kimora don’t play bout Nas.
Let me tell you, I was ready to fight Ashton messy tail. However I think Nas was too old to be running off like a teenager. I already see the drama unfolding and hope Ashton get everything she deserves. Can’t wait to read part two .
Malicia Bond, boy you showed what a jealous person can do when. you allow someone else to get your story out before you. I love the loyalty that Kimora has for Nass. I do wish Nass would have been better at letting her feelings come out though. Ashton is a pure example of what type of friend you never need. Although, I am sure we all have run into a few of them. Melo is such a cool guy I need Nass back story on why she is as she is because she came across to ma as.a strong woman but she has a fear of something. I hope she recovers from this 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Now this story should of been more about Kimora’s wedding bc we barley got the inside scoop on the pregnancy this story was more about the wedding than it was about this pregnancy
Totally thorn off…Why all the unnecessary back and forth…to end where it did.. The story didn’t support the title…Weird..Ashton totally unappealing uninspiring and so unnecessary…
How you gon do us like that?? Need more info on what happened with Nas past and more about her relationship wit ole boy. The way she jus ran off like a child was jus crazy, she comes off as such strong women,need details on why shes soo scared of what others think and scared of her true feelings,she claims to knw her worth. Hiding a whole baby and stressing herself out for what? That is jus ridiculous!! I hope Melo dont flip out on her too much. Ashton is a real lost cause she has really no real reason to hate Nas, she jus needs to punch in her throat a few times bcuz shes miserable she wants everyone else to be too. When can we expect part 2?? Don't rush too much but just make come on quick. Very good as

The drama of it all. I love Nassaya and Kimora's sisterhood, and they had each other's backs. Jealousy is at an all time high when they're celebrating Kimora's impending wedding at the bridal party destination trip and her cousin's hatred and jealousy of Nas is very evident. But when interesting turns of events happen, it's Nas who is left reeling and her life takes an unexpected turn. But Kimora's cousin is one of those nagging gnats that won't go away, buzzing around and in everyone's business. But everything changes when one slip up is caught before all hell breaks loose. The ending is well over due but the cost might be too high. Can't wait to read what happens next.
Nas childish as hell and she annoying. This a grown woman with the mentality of a teenager. She as a grown woman made a grown woman decision and slept with a man she didnt know. But she’s crushing on him. Her solution after sleeping with him? Run away and avoid him in hopes of her getting over her crush. VERY CHILDISH mind set. “Oh no I slept with him, now I’m afraid to face him” FOH. No man would be interested in a woman with a mentality like that. She’s giving vibes like she’s slow and that’s what I feel like I’m reading about, a mentally challenged woman. She done mentioned twice she like him with a nonsense “but” behind it. I ain’t want to read it a third time.
It was ok, but I would have liked it better if it would have been a story about Nassaya (Nas) and LeMelo and not everybody in her friends wedding party. The story is told in the point of view of Nas, LeMelo, Kimora (Nas’s best friend who’s getting married), and Ashton (Kimora’s female cousin who hates Nas). I was confused as to why the story kept switching from someone else’s point of view every chapter, that was annoying, especially when I was sold on a story about Nas and Lemelo! And honestly, this could have been one book, ain’t nobody got time for a part 2, just to get more of Ashton’s thirsty tail!
From the beginning I knew Nas had a good heart. Everyone around her knew it but of course that one jealous person ruined it all. I don’t see how anyone could deal with Ashton’s attitude! Definitely no one to talk about! I was so happy to see Kimora and Kendrick have their moment but I was even happier to see things unfold! I love how everybody was with it with trying to get Melo and Nas together! I can’t wait to see what happens and I hope their last moment turns into something so good and beautiful for them! I’m ready for the next book already!
Mellow and nas make the perfect couple I hope they work things out and stop fighting there feelings for one another Ashton her but whipped for doing that dumb stuff now she might have killed nas and mellow’s baby when will she get it threw her head the man want you and it was not her business to tell and so happy for Kendrick and Kimora. I make the perfect couple. I really enjoyed this book awaiting on both two can’t wait to see what happens. I hope Ashton get what she deserves.
I hope Nassaya is doing well and that she and Melo can resolve their issues. Ashton got what she deserved, and I hope she faces the consequences of her actions. Kimora should have known that her cousin would bring drama, so it was a mistake to put her and her best friend together; it was bound to end badly. As for Ashton's mother, she isn't any better; the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Overall, it was a great book, and I'm eager to see what happens in part 2!
I loved the book. Kimora and Kendrick’s weeding sounded like it was beautiful. I loved Nas and Melo’s chemistry. I hope he can forgive her not telling him. That hoe Ashton was a hater for real and I hope she gets what she deserves if Nas loses that baby. She hated that girl so bad over a 🥷 who wasn’t even checking for her at all. All the bridesmaids should jump her. Ready for part 2.
Ashton and her mom was bitter and some haters. Ashton couldn’t even be happy for her cousin Kimora on her upcoming wedding. Ashton hated Nas and Kimora friendship but hated Nas more when Melo didn’t want her but spent time with Nas. Nas should have considered her baby instead of fighting Ashton in the bathroom because Ashton was already jealous Melo rejected her for Nas and Nas was carrying a piece of Melo.
Ashton is one evil, hateful person and I can’t wait to see the KARMA that is delivered to her doorstep!!!…The fact that she is so angry and jealous of Nas is crazy!!!… Melo standing there watching it all unfold is crazy!!!…I wish Nas had just let Ashton have her moment because it was not worth the life of her unborn child!!!.,, I can’t wait to see what is next for this wedding!!!…
That hating ass BITCH Ashton would get that ass whooped every single Time I see her idc if that baby make it or not she deserves it. And if Nas baby don’t make it Ashton will be going to jail. Like this book could have end with him finding out but damn that cliffhanger I wasn’t ready for. We need part two ASAP
I love the chemistry between Melo and Nas. It’s only so much flirting one can take. Kimora and Kendrick are perfect for each other. Enough of the mushiness. Let talk about that how azz Ashton. I can’t stand that triflin,sneaky,jealous bih. Somebody needs to stomp her to the basement. I hope Melo is understanding. I need part 2 EXPEDITIOUSLY
I really enjoyed reading this book. It showed that a jealous person (Ashton) has no boundaries. The things she did to try to get Melo were tasteless. I’m glad he let her know she wasn’t who he wanted. What she did at the end of the book to Nas had me ready to detach her head from her doctored up body.
However, Nas did just find out and she was going to tell him. If Ashton thought Melo didn't like her before he dang sure not about to like her if his baby dies. They let Ashton have too much freedom around someone she hates and I don't understand what the hate is about when you built your body like bob the builder.
I loved this book since the beginning. I’m still trying to figure out why Ashton doesn’t like Nas. She is a true hater for real. I love the relationship that Kimora and Kendrick have. They are so funny. Nas and Kimora’s friendship is wonderful they know exactly when something is off with the other.
This is a pretty ok read. It's just a little long-winded. Plus, I don't like it when characters' looks are compared to real people. Also, the characters' names threw me off a little. Nassaya(Nas), Kimora, LeMelo, Ashton. All named after well known people. So even if they were described. I have a visual of the real people when I see the name🤷🏾♀️
