Around the Way Girls 10
There’s a saying that if you come from my part of town, you're from around the way. Around the Way Girls 10, like its predecessors, is a fast-paced look at the lives of some street-smart women who think they know it all, but are about to get the lessons of their lives.
“Not with my Man” by Ms. Michel Sasha Eubanks lived the perfect life. Whatever she touched seemed to turn to gold, until she met and married Mario. He was a parents’ worst nightmare and everything you wouldn’t want a husband to be. Yet Sasha loved him, sacrificed for him, took care of him, and would do anything for him, including going to jail. While she is doing hard time for Mario’s crimes, he soon shows his wife that loyalty is just another word in the dictionary. Sasha has to get revenge if she wants to have any pride left, but can she overcome the mental hold Mario has on her?
“The Ultimate Revenge” by Marlon P.S. Family ain’t no good; at least in Rissa Ford’s world. Forced to live with her aunt and predator-in-disguise uncle, Rissa feels as if her life was cursed from birth. Fed up with being tortured, she exposes the truth and is cast out into the mean streets of Detroit. Doing whatever she needs to make due, Rissa and her “newfound family” devise a plan for the ultimate revenge on those who have brought her the most harm.
“Cutthroat Divas” by Racquel Ajanay, Sheika, and London were born and raised in one of Richmond’s most ruthless housing projects. Faced with horrific home lives, all three girls turn to the streets and each other for comfort. Ajanay concocts a plan for them to get money out of Amir, one of the biggest dope boys from a rival housing project. However, Amir is a stone-cold killer with a long criminal history, and she has put them in harm’s way with no solid plan on how to escape. Will their love and loyalty for one another keep them together, or is it every woman for herself?

The first story was good but I hated the ending. I really hoped Sasha would boss up and take control of her life. Instead, the story ended with no winners.
The second story was entertaining but the narrator struggled! There were literally HUNDREDS of mispronounced words. I'd guess about one mispronounced word every paragraph. It was distracting but I couldn't stop listening.
The third story was cool. I was satisfied with the ending even though the story never got around to explaining Amir's beef with Keeyon. That was a hole in the plot. Also, if Amir was onto Ajanay, why he give her the code to his gate and safe? That didn't make sense to me. I expected him to set her up or something but that didn't happen. And im not buying he did it bc he thought she was pregnant with his kid. That don't fit cause soon after he's about to kill her and the "unborn child."

The stories got successively better in the order they are in the book.
The first story I skimmed through. Once the repetition and craziness started, at least. It's not good. But I think I tried to read one of the authors books once. With the same results.
The second story had it's flaws. But, was significantly better.
The third story was the best. It... There were moments at were a little unbelievable.
Like you're dating/sleeping with a man, you yourself are supposed to be "street smart" and it never occurs to you that he might have cameras in his house?
OK.
Worth a look. I guess.
2.5 stars.
