Imagine This

Let That Be the Reason #2

by Vickie M. Stringer

Imagine This is the sequel to Vickie M. Stringer's Let That Be the Reason, her stunning debut novel based on life as she knew it in the shocking underworld of the sex and drug trade.
Vickie M. Stringer has gained a legion of fans for her portrayal of Pamela, a.k.a. Carmen, a woman who had it all but lost out when the love of her life left her penniless and alone to raise their son. Pamela refuses to remain powerless, though. She pulls herself up, becomes a major hustler in the street game, gains independence, and makes big money- but the consequences are more dreadful than she ever imagined.
Imagine This continues the saga of Pamela as she does jail time and has to decide who she really is: Pamela, a woman who, more than anything, loves her son and wants to be there to raise him; or Carmen, the ruthless baller, who does the crime, serves the time, and honors, at any expense, the code of the street.

I don't think Pam was as naive as everyone making her out to be ! she had a choice she had to make so I can see the conflict there ! Chino was dirty and deserved everything that came to him. He thought he was smart but Karma came back to bite him! The Jail scene with Mychala really had me on edge but I could only imagine how that is . I liked this book it kept me on edge the whole time , I liked the suspense . If you call Pams' and Chino relationship Love I don't wan't it! Overall it was good read .

So after completing this book I've realized that I have in fact read this book previously. That being said, it wasn't a memorable enough read for the story itself to stick after reading it. (Hence the fact I couldn't remember whether or not I had read it before.) So yeah, overall I was kinda disappointed & it took me a while to complete because I kept losing interest.

I really couldn't get into this book at all, it was too slow for me. Nothing exciting happened, some people thought it was good, I thought it was very slow from the door. If a book doesn't get me from the door, I can't read it, I move on the the next book. And that's exactly how this book was.

When I first started getting into story telling fantasies. This was my first novel to read, what an explosion of a novel. Then Let that be the Reason, I love it. Let's move on to dirty red. Vickie bring back a Fire of a sequel on The Reason Why. Your phenomenal writer who change story telling. Gives us what we have waited for another Trophy.

God Bless

I honestly expected more. Carmen was kind of on the back burner while the rest of the characters were just alk over the place. It was corny to keep reading 'My Chino' and he was such a major asshole. I want to read the last book which is supposedly a prequel but I may just wait..what else could we learn that we don't already know?🤔🙄😳

It was ok. This about what happens when hustlers get caught and catch them cases. Imagine if it were you. Would u stay true to the game or snitch?

The main character Pammy/Carmen was unbelievably stupid in this novel! This woman had all the street smarts in the world she could tell you how to turn a ten dollars into a million, but when it came down to deciding if she would snitch or stay. She's unsure! I screaming as I read tell you fool! You have a one-year-old kid and he needs his mother. How can you be torn between being a snitch and being a mother! I know she had to do what she had to do to get by but your first obligation is your child not the streets. I also felt that this girl still had love for Chino . The person that really had love for Carmen/Pammy was murder violently this part of the book kind of upset me I just wished it could have happen a different way. This book is basically about the main character locked up in jail about to do major time and she torn between being a snitch or being a solider doing her time. All the time she's in jail people are living their lives especially the man that she stuck her neck out there for (her baby daddy). The end of the novel had me a bit confused I am wondering did this author want us to imagine how the ending should be. I this book is meant for 16yr olds and up .
