And two stars is a stretch with a whole lot of grace. The characters were kinda likeable but idk something about this stories tone was off putting. Like the way colorism was addressed here felt performative ESPECIALLY since we keep getting “good hair, exotic” references. Like the FMC is a okay girl and had a decent head on her shoulders but she was lacking in the ambition department. Cus she stayed in the projects cus it was working for her, never heard about her getting her cosmetology license or really bossing up just a lot about her using the system to stay fly or whatever. She loved kids and was really good with them so that was nice but again she was womb watching too hard for me because she struggled to get pregnant. Idk man a lot of the ways things were addressed here felt juvenile and from a weird lens.
The whole situation was messy and highkey miss girl was an abuse victims not in the physical sense but mentally and financially too low was extremely controlling but I don’t think it should’ve taken new D, for her to realize the issue. I also felt like she was moving sloppy and messy off rip like girl after the first night you should’ve sent the convict on his way. Overall the story isn’t horrible I just feel like the vibe in this one was off.

This was tooooo good!
Face was EVERYTHING!! He stood on business from day one & didn’t play about what he wanted!! I loved the dynamic with him, Babi & the girls!! That man came in & showed her everything she had been missing! & I loved seeing the growth in his character from the beginning of the book to the end!! This book gave me all the feels with just enough drama & spice to keep me invested!! This was my first read from this author but I will definitely be getting into more of her catalogue after this!

Whew
This was good. The twist and turns. I had figured some things out before it happened, but as the story went it just confirmed it. Face is that guy. Loved me some Babi. Good read.

Honey this was an extraordinary read and I loved it from beginning to end. I knew from the beginning that things just didn’t add up with Too Low and eventually things would come to the surface my girl Babi was just to green but I get it because that first love is a mutha and it hard to break free the the entanglements of baby love and all it’s history. But Face hunny is straight pressure all gas and go from out the gate and i loved that for Babi… he wasn’t no complete saint but he loved that girl and everything that can with her bs. I love a happily ever after but I want more of them so bad… Mattie and Tera and Too Low got off way to easy for messing around with these folks lives but I cant wait for more because Nicole doesn’t miss and I ready

I kept going back and forth with this book. It went from getting on my nerves to enjoyment back to getring on my nerves and then enjoyment kinda. Nicole Jackson is a pro with erotica and nasty smex scenes. As always, these scenes steal the show. The biggest hurdle for me is that there was this underlying mystery, but it was quickly and hurriedly solved in the last 10%. The HEA overall was a little lacking. Huge time jumps were given, but some of the characters' actions remained the same. I just couldn't completely get in line with the FMC. She was a liar a lot throughout the book. She was immature and handled problems in very annoying ways. I get that characters have flaws, but the immaturity really set me off. I also felt we spent a large portion of the book with the main characters dancing around each other. Not the MMCs fault, but how the FMC just was moving. She was moving foul. Once the mystery gets solved, that fall-out was serious but we had little to no time to truly absorb the shock. It was just BOOM! "wasn't that wild" and then that's it.

I Don't Know What to Say
Nicole Jackson knows she can write some mess and clean it up while making you eat every single word up. I am usually not a fan of a cheating trope or knsta love, yet here I was eating all this up. Face and Babi are two very odd characters because even though they appear unlikeable, they each grow on you. I loved how their personalities complimented each other. I loved watching them fall in love and handle their issues, then grow together. This book is a perfect mixture of sweet and messy.

… not my cup of tea
I love urban fiction, but this just wasn’t my cup of tea. If you like a hood classic, this might be for you. Babi was introduced as a loyal, hustling, independent woman but baby girl flipped quicker than a Usian Bolt 100m dash. Babi fussed about Too Low not wanting her to do anything and got with Face who also limited her potential. Although Babi had dreams and goals she literally put them on the back burner.
I thought the overlap with Too Low sleeping with Mattie AND Tera was unnecessary and extra. I can see him sleeping with one of them but an entire secret life, house, bills in his name all with face BM … and the kids say nothing, huh?!
Last thing that just didn’t really make sense for, Babi loved kids and the majority of the story made it seem as if Too Low couldn’t have children. Which would have made sense, but not Tera and Mattie end up pregnant. I think the storyline had more value when it appeared that Babi got the things she didn’t have with Too Low with Face.

painting for love
This book was funny. Had me giggling while reading. The conversation felt real. The plot was entertaining. I would recommend to someone who like alpha male very “touch her and die

Gets Real When the Trials Hit !!
Author Nicole did something alright 👏with this she was not playing. The book had me in a chokehold couldn’t put it down and finished in a couple hours 🤣🤣🤣. The way I was cracking up and sitting in shock throughout the story was untelling. Babi and Face was a connection that had no control and couldn’t be stopped it was meant to be. I don’t condone cheating that’s for sure but BABY I was telling Babiiiii to do it lmbooo because her relationship on an outsiders view was so telling that it was NOT it at all, didn’t mesh, didn’t make sense. The name Too Low should have been a hint for her anyway but imma blame it on her youth from them being kids to now adults because that was played out odee. I loved Babi’s character she is for sure one of those females that is real and holds it down even when wronged and holds herself accountable right or wrong. Face wasn’t playing w/ his girl he came full stepping and said you’re not going back period 🤷♀️. I loved their dynamic and chemistry even with all the trials that was coming at them their relationship was authentic even their beginning was very cute to me lol maybe that’s just me. But I loved to see them and their HEA and fully enjoyed this book beginning to end 👌.

Nicole you ate with this one
Baby when it’s real is the perfect title. I like Babi she was humble and carried herself a certain way. But one thing I learned if a man want you to not be seen at all and dont allow you to have any friends that’s a red flag. Too Low named should have been TOO LOW DOWN. I’m not holding nobody down in jail like Babi did. Whole time he was cheating but sis met Face kind of by accident not really bc she damaged his car 🫠. When she had to pay off that debt for the damage, they was kind of inseparable since. I love a little drama and mess and this book gave me just that.

This is my type of mess!! I haven't read a good urban book in a while and this was entertaining and had a good story line. The only thing I would have changed is that Mattie would NOT have made it through this book untouched. She deserved to get her ass whooped 😂

I enjoyed this book. It was cute and I love how he was so sweet to her .

•The writing was a bit juvenile, and there were major editing issues. "A" in front of words that start with consonants. "An" for vowels.
•As someone stated, the FMC lacked ambition to make her situation better. If you are going to use the system, use it right. Stack the money that you have left over and put it to good use. Fund yourself so you can enter into a high tax bracket and love the life you really want. But it does show the mindset of a lot of people who are still in the projects. They're content as long as they're getting by.
•And Babi came off a little dense at first. Why is it taking for you cousin and neighbor to point out how mentally controlling Low is for you to finally see it? She made me question her moves the whole book. You moved however you moved when Low was locked up (which I don't blame you), but mad about that man moving on is not giving you love Face. Shorty was a manipulative liar frfr. She was confused. And childish. And I didn't like her.
•There was certainly a lot of colorism and hair shaming going on in the first few pages. Referring to another black woman's hair as "nappy" or "good" in 2025 is wild. And I guess being able to "pass the brown paper bag test" and have fine grade hair makes one "exotic." The whole bleaching of the skin and "she teaches her daughter not to like lightskins" was a major eye roll. It seemed as if the only woman who had self-esteem issues was the one heavily melanated character in the entire book.
•The spice scenes were cringe and underwhelming.
•I didn't see the BDE that Face was supposed to be carrying. He was just as insecure and controlling to a point. After that squabble with Low, Low hit his ass with the truth, and I don't see how you can come back from that. How are you okay with your girl still dealing with a "delayed breakup" after all the time that has passed? Nah, that's a simp. I didn't like him.
•Soya, ma'am, how are you gonna send your cousin blindly on a mission and not pull up with her?
•Mattie was predictable but also random and weird asf. She was in her feelings like she was f*cking her brother or something.
•The plots twists fell flat.
•And when did Shi jump from 10 to 12 ?
•All of the characters were unlikable
•nonetheless, I was entertained 🤷🏾♀️

(3.5⭐️) I enjoyed Face & Babi together…”He said, I like you. I want you. You got a man? Not my problem.” She however was kinda foul in the way that she moved. So it’s no wonder that she found herself questioning the foundation of the relationship a lot. She also acted very immature throughout way too much of the book. I think the last 20% of the book was super rushed and I think if less time was spent on dragging out their relationship it wouldn’t have ended with so many unanswered questions. Overall you’d enjoy if you want messy good shenanigans with likable but flawed characters.

Babi x Face
“When it’s real, you’ll know, you won’t be confused about it”
One thing Nicole is going to do is dig deep into her bag off messiness and create a stressful good time! Babi and Face (I see what you did there) were two unhinged individuals that found love in the middle of their chaos. They got together as the result of some drama and continued to thrive in it while it intensified.
This book did have its high points and funny moments, but there was a stretch that seemed to drag on. Overall, it was as a decent read.

Head trip for sure 🤪
Every time you think you've figured out Nicole Jackson's angle, she throws a curveball and sucks you in deeper. This was such a great story! Like... really like that! The twists and drama were all to notch and the heat was all that we expect from this author 🥵💦 I will say this book showed me you never know who's who and what's what and I love that for me🤭 I loved Shi and Aspen! I loved the way things organically played out. I really loved how we saw the way insecurities could make a person get tricked out of their position if they're not careful. Great story 👏🏾 4.5 🌟 editing errors stopped it from being a 5 🌟

Whoa!
That took me thru all the emotions. Face was grown grown. Babi thought she had a man til she met him. He’s a real man. Tera and Too Low better be glad they only got locked up.

mind blown
OMG the plot twist in this one was crazy! Face and Babi, with her stubborn self, were cute together and though their intro was wild, their union gave all the feels! Now the reason I’m not rating this a 5 is because the grammatical and editing errors, the period every three words, my goodness…this tells awesome stories but the editing makes it so hard to read without feeling frustrated.

unusual story but beautiful
The epilogue could’ve been longer that was literally the only thing that dropped my rating down to a four from a five. The writing was beautiful. There were a little errors, but it did not stop flow of the story. I would totally recommend you read this.

This was a gooooodddd book. Babi girl I know you tried to hold it down for Too Low, but when a man like Face is applying pressure how can you???
I can’t believe Babi was putting her life on hold for Too Low. From the beginning of the story i thought Babi was a recluse but Too Low was just controlling as hell from the jailhouse. Like Babi you really was with a jail bird ???
I didn’t know Babi was that girl until Fave described how she came over to his house to clean. My girl knew how to get herself together. I loved the banter between Face and Babi. He set his intentions and went after what he wanted.
Mattie + Tera were dumb as hell. If I were Babi I definitely wouldn’t mess with Mattie ever again. & I also felt like she was too nice to the baby mama. Like how you come in the house I lay my head at with my kids and think you’re gonna treat me any kind of way/ not acknowledge me. And I know Face felt guilty but he didn’t do any follow up with her or investigating.
I’m so happy that Babi is the girl she is and was on her private investigator stuff bc things could’ve went LEFT!
But overall I loved this and the epilogue was soooooo cute .

Excellent story line….One of Nicole Best books!!!
Nicole kept me intrigued from beginning to end. The love story between Babi and Too Low had me feeling sorry for both of them. They met in Middle school and stayed attached at the hip throughout until Too Low had to leave. Babi was trying to survive and hold it down because Too Low was all that she knew and she loved him. Face had a past of womanizing and that wasn’t what Babi was built for but somehow he found a path to her affection that competed with her love with Too Face. There were people in the periphery that tried to make Babi walk away and FaceTime look bad. The story was well written, the plot was tight and each character had agency. Every aspect of this story was satisfying and well written. I even enjoyed the ending. Great job Nicole!

It Got Better
Full transparency this was about to be a DNF for me because initially the characters seemed too shallow and focused on the wrong things while living in the projects. I also didn't like how everyone who was pretty was described as "red" with "inky hair". But I stuck with it and Babi revealed that there was more to her character than I initially thought and I really started to like her. Face was who he was from the beginning and was all gas no breaks right from the start. The energy he oozed was BDE and Main Character at the same time. Now Too Low was the surprise I didn't see coming. I was feeling so bad for dude for a good chunk of the book, then BOOM- he was victim and the villian at the same daggon time! Then his chosen accomplices were WILD. Overall, once I got past the initial front porch dialog and colorist descriptions, I started to get into the storyline and read this book in one sitting. It is a first read for me from this author's catalog and while there were several editing and grammatical errors, it kept me entertained.
