Lord this series is dragging me through it lol. Everyone is crazy lol. I’m unsure how there is 2 more books after this. This seems like it should be the end.

Back with this friend group…
I was wondering who Choc was and why we had to read her POV but wow is all I have to say. High key I wasn’t rooting for her and Mello to work out. I don’t think he deserved to get his HEA. I hope Patsy can get hers.

none of these characters are likable
I have read the majority of this series… mind you after I read Capone, Cappadona, and Capri. I loved every character there but this series is immature and all of the characters are unlikable. Thor and Milli are tolerable. Meanwhile at the end of book 4, his brother moved into Condo and this book they have money problems bc of the condo … sheesh

3.5 Stars.
I would have been quite happy if this had ended with Book 4 of this series and in some ways, I think it might have been better if it had. However, I think this book deepens the exploration into the complexity of the characters- Milli and his need to fix his siblings having to navigate his sister Kendal’s spiral into being in the streets, Mello’s pathological need to sabotage every relationship he’s in because he can’t stop lashing out, Kelsie dealing with her relationship with her mother in light of finding out about having a secret younger sister (Choc), Kelsie’s and Patsy’s relationship traumas making their way into current relationships, and basically the opportunity to see all the characters we’ve come to know and love grow their families and navigate parenthood and mature relationships.
While I don’t think this was a necessary addition to the series, I do think it’s mandatory reading for all fans who cared about these characters enough to read the first four books… and who will now likely be checking out the spin-off book, Homies, Lovers and Wives.

Whew, I Made It
This was more like 3.5 stars for me. Having read her latest releases first, I'm so glad to see that JJ's writing and self-editing has vastly improved from this point.
These FMCs made bad decisions after bad decisions, like the blind leading the blind. Except for Patsy, they were all difficult to root for.
The MMCs didn't do anything for me either. Nothing about them stood out, and Mello was a whole mess.
Usually, I wouldn't leave a review like this, but reading this one showed how great of an author that Jahquel has become.

Eehhh
It was ok. I didn't like Michelle's attitude towards Thor in this book. I mean I know she was pregnant and everything but the way she acted was just horrible. Nice to see things work out for Kelsie and Millie though. I can not believe how things ended for Patsy. She sooo got the short end of the stick. Everyone got their happily ever after even Melo and she gets nothing, not even her dad came around. On a side note I could not stand his side story. Then to top it of Walt was a dud, he couldn't even be a friend or shoulder to cry on. Glad to see her standing on her own 2 feet learning to do for herself, but seeing her find herself then happiness with someone else would have been a lot better. Hope she geta a spin-off or something to get the ebding she deserves after all that crap she had to endure.

Awww itsover
I really enjoyed this series. The realness of the characters is refreshing. I was really happy to see how Patsy would turn out. I'm glad she got her happiness back. Through all the ups and downs these characters found a way. The relationships really blossomed with some additions. It funny how life works even in stories. I like how Choc was, even glad she was find what she was looking for. The series over is a very details and a great read. I can't wait to read Kendel's story, she just full of trouble with the parts of the story she was in.

I figured out that Jahquel’s book characters aren’t likable/tolerable until you’re at the last 1-2 books of the series. So I only just read book 4 and 5 of this series. It was okay, by the end of book 5 I hated all the characters. She needs to work on making her characters more relatable, because even this type of urban fiction is just plain weird and wrong.

3.5 ⭐
I would have bumped it to 4 ⭐ but ugh, Kelsie got on EVERY last nerve I had. I've never disliked a character so much, ugh! I wanted to repeatedly punch her in the face, just unbelievably making countless stupid choices, smh! She dragged the book down for me!

Lawd forgot about that female narration 👎🏾... Storyline though 3.75 getting redundant but like new characters
April 12, 2025
This series was definitely an emotional roller coaster that had me glued to my Kindle. From start to finish, we saw the development and destruction of relationships.
I'll start with Michelle and Thor and say I'm glad they were able to get their happy ending. They both endured some difficult cards in life. Michelle with the domestic violence she unfortunately endured, and Thor with his mother's addiction. However, through friendship they found love and protection with one another. They were able to help one another grow in so many ways that developed an unbreakable bond. If it was anyone that deserved a happy life, it was definitely these two.
Kelsie and Milli definitely will have your head spinning with their back and forth. However, their relationship is a testament that when you communicate and be truthful with yourself and with the person your heart desires, a beautiful outcome can happen. I admired Kelsie's strength as a single mother and someone who fought to be there for her cousin through some of her darkest times. Her child's father and his family were terrible people, but she didn't let them deter her from being a great mother to her daughter, especially because she didn't have one herself. Due to past heartbreak, she was heavily guarded, and rightfully so, and that gave her and Milli a rocky start. Nonetheless, I'm glad they both were able to come to their senses and create a beautiful family. Milli always dealt with a lot being his mother's eldest son, and he was able to find a new meaning and happiness within his life.
Patsy deserves nothing but the best. The things she went through are not for the weak, from her upbringing to the betrayal she experienced in her marriage. Mello is one of the worst people ever, and I hope he continues to get doses of karma and lives a terrible life. His treatment towards Pasty, someone he claims he loves so much, irritated me so much. He deserves nothing but bad things in life. I'm getting upset just thinking about it.
I really wanted Kim to give Milli and Patsy a real, genuine apology when it came to being an enabler to Mello. Her refusing to hold him accountable in certain situations caused a lot of hurt to both Milli and Patsy.
Like Mello, Kenyetta is a terrible person, and I only wish bad for her. Kendal doesn't want good for herself, so to hell with her. Choc, I understood her reason for coming around, but her presence was pointless in the end.
Nonetheless, this was a really great series.

OMG what a ending Great read
Michelle and Shannon has found their happily ever after with the trails and tribulation.. Michelle has found her voice and her confidence back. I admire Michelle and her cousin Kelsie sisterhood and strong independent women who love hard. And also how both women have each other back good or bad right or wrong.I love how Shannon loves and cherish Michelle and treated her like the Queen she is .They loved each other and respect each opinions and struggles and living their lives. Also admire Kelisie and her struggles to be a good mother too her daughters and be a strong independent women. Kelisie has grown as a women and allows herself to be vulnerable and admit to being wrong and tell Milli how she feels. She also gained a sister who her mother giBrusonor a adoption. Michelle is a wife , mother, and cousin, a friend.and Kelisie mother was a very selfish person who doesn't want to take accountable for action and be a mother to her daughters and grand children. She was never their for her daughters she was out partying and not handling her responsibility as a mother I gather she doesn't want to be a mother. Patrica has grown and moved on with her life and is co- parenting with Mello raising her daughter. And taking another chance at love with Bruson. Mello had so many issues he has to get his priorities in order he has grown and still growing as a man. I'm glad Milli is trying to rebuild his relationship with his father. Hopefully Mello will find love again and take time for himself.

I think this one was least favorite of the series. Those hormones were taking Michelle through it! Poor Thor! Glad that Michelle had a safe birth! She birthed a 9 pounder! I didn’t like that Kim pushed her experience as a single mom on Michelle. The difference is Michelle has Thor so her experience will be different.
Marcus I wanted to like you but you were a Mitch! Hiding under the guise of being a friend but you threw Patsy away as soon as she decided she wanted to be single. The lady been in a relationship since a teenager. And then to get back with your ex???
Milli and Kelsie- I’m glad yall finally got it together! Millie doesn’t play about Miracle. He saw Marina for who she was. I’m glad that he finally let go of Mellow and Kim blaming him for everything and said what on his chest.
Kim- girl I hope that he stays around!
Patsy! I can’t wait for you to find your person! You deserve it all. Your stepfather and his husband- trash!! Leave him behind with Mellow and Marcus. Your king is coming!
Mellow- your balls finally dropped! I really didn’t want to see you in another relationship but men always move on before the women do! Choc watch him!
Also- Kelsie mother- girl you’re a mess! Grow up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I really enjoyed the ending to this series. Yes there was a seemingly random introduction of two characters and a plot twist thrown into the mix, but I think it fit and allowed the series to close nicely with all of the main characters getting their version of a happy ending.

Excellent Series!!!
Book 5 was a nice wrap up for the series. Thor and Michelle will always be my favorite couple. “They’s A Married Naw Y’all!!” Kelsie and Milli…well let’s say that Milli is my guy, but his woman Kelsie worked my nerves the whole series. Every book has that one chick that gets on your nerves and yes, Kelsie did that to me. Mello, well I’m glad he grew out of his F boy stage and started owning his mistakes and taking accountability for his actions. I thought that there was hope for the dude. Pasty, I’m so glad she got her a guy that really adores her. Patsy proved everybody wrong and she kick that nasty old habit of drinking and she bossed up for the sake of her mental and her daughter.
Overall I really enjoyed this series. The characters was believable and their situations was relatable. Nothing was forced and for some odd reason, I read through this series like it was a BET movie. That’s how good this series is…🗣️SOMEBODY GIVE MRS. JAHQUEL J. a movie deal asap.

Welp, that’s it for this crew. I’m satisfied with where we left things. Kelsey pregnant with Milli’s baby, living happily ever after in their home on Long Island with Miracle. Michelle and Thor happy with Baby Titan. Melo dating Choc, who just happens to be Kelsey’s long lost sister and Patsy moving on in her own way as well.
I enjoyed this series overall but the last couple books got a bit over the top. It is also unrealistic how everyone is interlinked with each other. This new character Choc, meets Melo working in his building, she just happens to be Kelsey’s long lost sister that she didn’t know existed? And she just happened to start striping in the strip club Melo and Thor were opening? This was all a coincidence? That’s a bit much…
And don’t get me started on the narrators, they changed from book to book so it got hard to keep the characters straight, besides that the narrator’s (especially the female) weren’t that great.

The gang is back, and the twist are at an all-time high. There are new characters/siblings, revelations in therapy, Michelle's irrational outburst towards Thor while pregnant, Kelsie's pregnancy, and Kim's new/old love. Choc's character was very predictable to me overall. I'm hoping in the next book that she's more interesting. Patsy is just over all the drama. Her and Walt's relationship fizzles as he embraces his marriage again and she is slow to tell him that she just wants to be single for a while. She's just staying out of the way and taking care of herself. Mello gets a much-needed reality dose via Milla's fist and therapy. He needed both to be honest. Kendal seems to be trouble. I'm starting number 6 now. I really hope that Patsy finds real love, because Mello is garbage slime for what he's done.

I so loved this series. These couples have came a long way. Each of them worked my nerve a bit, some more that others but in the end most got their happy endings. Loved how Thor nurtured Michelle into being the queen that she was meant to be after how much Tasheem broke her. She was one of the ones working my nerve during her pregnancy 😆. Milli, Miracle, and Kelsie finally became a family was so happy for them.
Now am I the only one that felt for Mello? Yes he did Patsy wrong but call me crazy but my heart broke for him when he's broke down in the therapist office, don't get me wrong my heart hurt for Patsy as well because she really didn't deserve what he did to her. I secretly hoping that she would have been able to work their marriage out. 😢.
Did anyone else want to reach into the pages of the book and slap Eric's pink wig wearing butt?

Okay, I'm glad I stuck with it. After getting used to the female narrator, it was a pretty good book. Don’t get me wrong, she reads well, I just didn’t fit what I thought the characters should sound like, not as urban as the writing was. I liked the ending and was happy to see how everyone’s story unfolded. There were too many unnecessary secrets or lying for me. I mean when you have a best friend partner, when something happens in your life, they are the first person you want to tell. No matter if it’s good, bad, or crazy. If I found out I had a sister, I would call my husband immediately and we would either laugh, gossip, cry, or get angry about it together. So, the secrets in this story came off as unnecessary, unrealistic, and dumb.

The Way Everything Turns Out
Jahquel. Excellent series. This crew right here grew into great people. Milli turned into the best man. Shannon was always the best Mello maybe one day will get it together although, he really did grow.
Michelle finally found herself and true love. Pasty was a beast! I loved her fight. Kelsie reminded me of my mom with teaching Miracle how to live without fear. Having C P myself I understand the challenges that some face. I just loved this series ❤️ 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

Wow
These series had me so caught up that nothing else mattered. The relationship between characters had me so invested. A part of me really wanted Patsy and Mello to work out their relationship, but based on the pain Mello caused, I knew there was just no repairing it. Michelle really touched my heart with her relationship with Thor, and for me, they were my favorite character. I must say this author has me so caught that I have been reading only her books for a month now. Wow !!!!

3.5⭐️ I got book 5 but it also came with book 6 it was like a straight continuation.
This book was messy, it gave love and hip hop but without the music.
I did enjoy it, but again I think both books were too long. There were a lot of repeated storylines. Also, a few grammatical errors and referring to the wrong character.
I know this is her earlier work, I’ve read two other books of hers in a different series which I enjoyed. Nevertheless, I stuck to it because after reading 4 books within the series you want to know how the story will end.

Finally finished this series. It was OK. The characters were some what likeable, but their were parts that did not just seem realistic. The last introduction to "Choc" was unnecessary. NY is too large of a city for everyone one to end up together. What was the point of Kendal? just to say they have a sister?
I love Jahquel J and can genuinely appreciate the character development of the characters over the series. I can more so appreciate the growth of Jahquel J as an author over the years.

what a ride
Great writing per usual. I never saw Mello with Choc. Karma took care of him. He should’ve sat her down and told her everything. I didn’t like Kelsie until the very end. She grew in some areas but clung to that horrible mindset the entirety of the series. Patsy and Michelle are warriors.

All things come to an end
I liked Kim. She was bossy, loving ,and supportive. But she had blind spots when it came to Mello. She wanted to blame Kenyatta. Mello was responsible for all that heartache and destruction of his marriage. I'm glad him and Patsy came to an understanding. This was good series. Kendall was a hot mess.

Watching these characters develop was an amazing ride. Mellow drove me nuts the entire ride and I’m super happy for Patsy. Reading this book was like watching different types of love unfold multiple times. Thnx for the ride.. As always her books could be series !!

Who wants the perfect love story anyway?
Truly enjoyed this series. It definitely took me through the highs and lows of friendships and relationships. Jahquel's writing abilities are so unique they allow you to experience the emotions of the characters. I strongly recommend this read.
