Three of Urban Book’s most exciting novelists team up to tell the tales of the streets and the women who run them.
Summer Fling in New York (Racquel Williams): It’s something about them island boys that have the American girls going crazy! Good girl Naomi is intrigued by this stranger, who makes his intentions clear from the moment he lays eyes on her, and will stop at nothing to get her attention. However, her heart and her mind are in turmoil as she’s tempted to give him a chance. There's only one another man holds the key to her heart. Trini is a boss in the streets of New York. Snatching up Naomi seems easy at first, but he soon realizes that she's not your average female, and he will have to work twice as hard if he wants to get her. Nothing goes as planned, and the idea of scooping up the woman he desperately wants might be in jeopardy when an unexpected situation arises. Will Naomi give in to Trini's demands, or will she find out that all this boss has to offer is good sex and lots of headaches?
Thot Girl Summer in Chicago (Na’cole): Sex, lies, money, and deceit are the laws a true thot lives by. Tisha Santana is no exception to the rules. Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, she lived a tough life. Coming from a broken home, she saw her future being just as hopeless. That is, until she met Marcel, the man who stole her heart. After two years of being together, Marcel became property of the Feds. Coming to grips with his twenty-year sentence, Santana decides it is time to move on with life. However, this time around, she isn’t looking for a man or love.
Thot Girl Summer in Detroit (T. Friday): Best friends Trina McKnight and Eve Santana were young and beautiful with banging bodies. Thinking that sleeping with men to pay for their lifestyle would be a piece of cake, things slowly start falling apart for them. Meeting Candy is a dream come true until the friends realize they no longer have any control over their own bodies or lives. After a tragic event, Trina fights hard to get her future back on track. Can she leave the lifestyle that she’s so familiar with and start all over with a new love interest?
This was a Girls from da hood where the stories got better as you read. The first was blah. I struggled to see the point of it. The ending was anticlimactic and the epilogue was meh. The MC went to NYC with her treacherous friend (who many warned her about) and things went left. The epilogue would have been a good chance to tie things up. Not, what it was. The second one was better with a good twist and satisfying end. The third was the best. 3.5 to 4 stars for the second and third stories.
