How can you judge me
My name is Tanisha Jordan. Before you try to judge or condemn me like you walked in my shoes or experienced half the pain I had to endure, First read my story! My life was far from a fairy tale. I've been victimized, falsely imprisoned, and crossed by everyone I knew. My journey to finding love and having everything go wrong in the process has changed me. I had no choice but to fight... Fight for a love I so desperately wanted but was never worthy enough to find. A love that ultimately altered my mental for the worst!
My prayers went unanswered!
My cries weren't noticed!
My plea for salvation was denied!
After the numerous trial and tribulations I had to endure... And being the product of such an horrific environment... There's only one question I want to know. "Am I wrong for turning into the person I've become?"

Good book
Quick read but good. I feel so sorry for Tanisha. She just keeps being put through so much turmoil. I love Crystals character she was a very genuine soul.

This book kept me turning the page until I reached the end! Unfortunately I was disappointed how things concluded, because well... they didn't conclude. I wouldn't even describe the ending as a cliffhanger... it was more like another chapter. Nothing was concluded, and there were no answers to my questions. But let me say I was extremely intrigued by the entire story. I couldn't help but keep turning the page to find out what could happen to the main character Tanisha and each chapter I found myself even more and more surprised. This was a great introduction to this authors work, even though I wish there would have been a little bit more of an ending. There is nothing wrong with having a part 2 to any book. But I do have a personal issue with authors who use a second book as a way to make more money and don't end their first book correctly.I will be reading the second addition, but only because i am seeking a conclusion in this authors gifted work.I would have given the author 4 stars but because of the way it ended, I have to settle on 3.

Where to start? This story could have been very poignant read in the hands of a different type of writer. I mean a young girl who feels like the black sheep and longs for the love and affection of her father goes through trails looking for someone to fill the void.
Her story is quite tragic and could have been a real tear jerker. Anyway, it was a good read. Tanisha made one bad decision after another. Some characters were a little unbelievable like Chris who has been told about her status but had sex unprotected anyway. I like the twist about what really happened to the mother and her sister. The ending was bland though.

I really enjoyed this book. It was full of so much suspense and because I love suspense, I kept forcing myself to put it down. At one point, I typed in a character's name on my kindle to see if they would eventually re-enter the story. I have never done that before! I always like to wait and see, but in this case, the suspense was killing me and I just HAD to know. This would have been a 5 star, but....there were errors that I was able to overlook throughout the beginning of the book, but by the end, I was frustrated. Then there was a part that was totally unrealistic. I'm in law enforcement and I know something would not happen the way it happened in the book. The lack of research in that case made me knock the rating down to 3 stars but the way the book ended bumped it back up to 4 stars. I can't wait until Part 2 is released.

The whole purposefully giving HIV to someone is one thing but to deliberately sleep with someone you know is positive because. you don't think they look sick is on, a whole different level of stupidity.
Why people other than her family treated her more favorably than her dad is unexplained. Tanisha's reaction to Crystal was bizarre as Ccrystal's guilt over the situation she wasn't responsible for.
Was Dr. Hudson the only doctor in this town, lol

This was a very good read. Poor Tanisha could not catch a break. Every time she thought that she had found some peace and happiness, she ended up getting hurt. This caused her to end up not caring anymore. I hate that she let all of the pressure from Marcus caused her to do the unthinkable. I hope that there is a part 2, because I am curious to find out how this story ends for both of them.

This was my first read by Robert Cost. This was an exceptional fictional read that was well written--the storyline was one that provided emotional content and a well stated message. Although some parts of the story were devastating at times, it did not deter me from completing this story in a few hours. I'm looking forward to reading the next part & I highly recommend all to read.

This was really good, but it was so rushed. I’m ready for part 2 though. I want to know how everything is about to unfold.

Great Read
Tanisha seem to have one traumatic incident after another. Her father was a selfish and heartless bastard. That kept a dark secret from her. Dealing with some of the thing's Tanisha dealt with would drive the strongest person insane. However some of the downfalls experienced was of her own doing. Crystal had her own demons she was battling but when the truth of what she was going through came to light. It was jaw dropping. Summer was scandalous for what she was trying to pull with Tanisha. I can't wait to see the reaction of Marcus once he finds out the truth from the news he received

Raw and real!
When I started this book I was unsure but as I got further into it I was able to identify with Tanisha. The way she was vulnerable in the beginning and pretending to be someone she wasn't is what a lot of young people are doing today! The lesson she learnt was a hard one but this could ultimately be a memoir!
The writer wrote well from each characters perspective and had me drawn into the story and hoping for a somewhat happy ending! Now I can't wait to get the next instalment and she where it ends...!

Tarnish, Tanisha
Man, it seems like this poor girl can't catch a break, wanting to have the father love, her dad wouldn't provide, she lost her mom and twin sister! She went on only to be betrayed by her boyfriend, who let his homies have it too.. Good book, can't wait for part two!

How Can You Judge Me
Tarnisha took me on a painful journey of her life. After the tragedy of her mom and TWIN sister, she felt alone. Her father was too busy being a politician to care. I felt sorry for all the things she went through. I was upset when she did what she did to Marcus.

Great book!
I really enjoyed this book, my first read my this author. Tanisha went thru a lot of pain and hurt. Her dad was wrong for disowning her just cause of his job. Crystal was a true Friend but I think she also felt guilty. I don't wanna give to much away. This is a 5 star read for sure!!

Different kind of story but was a good read.I don't agree with what Tanisha is doing and I think she needs to confront her father before she can go and live a productive life but at the rate she is going someone is going to kill her for failing to reveal she is sick. Recommend to anyone that likes a good read.

A GREAT STORY
This story was awesome. I felt so sorry for Tanisha. The things she went through and the choices she had to make, I don't think I could. Life just wasn't fair to her. I really hope her and Crystal find their way back to each other. Both of them need each other's friendship to help them through the bad times. Can't wait to read part 2.

Troubling
This girl contacts the HIV virus and going around having sex as a prostitute as if she's okay. I'm not sure if I liked this book or not. Tanisha needs to grow up and confront her father. Now her first real boyfriend killed himself because he caught the virus and she's doing it again to another man.

How can you judge me-----easy!!
A young girl looking for love in all the wrong places. A story with a twist of deceit wrapped up in lies. A family man that was committed to only his self. A cover up that shattered a young girl life.

Interesting Read
I like to read fiction that's believing although it's not supposedly a true story & while I'm sure the series of events that Tanisha ensured can happen it seemed a bit much. Kept my attention though & I'm actually contemplating purchasing part 2.

Emotionally Charged........
Wow, so many emotions you go through in reading this book. Tarnisha did not deserve what happened to her. Just looking for love in all the wrong places. Except the one place that matters most. God's love.
