Scarlet was just doing way too much for me. She was back and forth between way to many men. Then Ronny slips up and fall in love. Veronica is crazy. Just wayyyy to much going on.

This book had me all kind of confused. The story didn't really flow for me. The transition between major events were almost nonexistent. The POV switched throughout the story and it didn't really read like a book. At times it read like someone was telling a story to a friend. Scarlet was a damaged individual, I didn't like her character at all. She lived her life using people and hurting their feelings. I liked Cash and I wanted him to let Scarlet go so bad, I didn't want Veronica to have him either. He was a good kid that wanted to live life right but Scarlet definitely brought out the worse in him. Veronica was a complete nut case and her cousin Ronny wasn't any better. Their relationship creeped me a little bit. I'm not sure if there will be a part 2 or not. If there is I probably won't read it. I've had enough of Scarlet. The author just needs to study her craft a little more before putting out part 2.

This book had no good flow. The author didn't provide any sense of timing. For example, supposedly they had just recently graduated high school, but Cash drops out of medical school. WTF???


And, someone please give the author a clue about geography. When Scarlet was doing the back and forth thing with Jessie, the author stated they were in San Francisco. A few paragraphs later they are heading to Roscoe Chicken & Waffles. San Francisco doesn't have one. Then when Scarlet did the video with the local rapper, the author again stated they were in San Francisco. But, a few paragraphs later Jessie and Scarlet are rolling down Hollywood Blvd.

1st read by Ashley Williams. Scarlett was a troubled young lady who was traumatized at an early age. I felt Cash was truly a saint to put up with her reckless behavior & he proved that his love for her was real & their bond was strong... I can only hope she's learned her lesson & will make the best of their relationship. On to part 2 to see if she has changed her ways for the better.

Great read. A well written story with an interesting twist on how early childhood trauma can affect your whole life. Ashley Williams has done a very good job keeping the reader well engrossed in the story of Scarlet and Cash. Can't wait for the next part.

I was surprised

I really like this story... Scarlet has a lot of issues she needs to deal with... I love how Cash never left her side. Their love is real. That crazy Veronica is something else... I'm ready for part 2.. Because I know it's going to be serious..
