Best series EVER!!!!
Ok I Started reading these series of books one week ago I started with Love in the ATL then went on to Those Carter Boys, finishing up with Hoodlums and Hooligans and let me tell you I read all of these books in one week and they are the best. I could not put them down and was salty when I finished. these books are so entertaining, and this last book was hella funny I laughed out loud had to close my doors and windows because I did not want my neighbors to think I was going crazy in here. They are not the typical urban books TRUST BRUA, had to throw that in; (read the book to understand) you captured life in the ATL, college life, an life in the hood so so amazingly I just love love love these books. You are such a talented writer and I cannot wait until the next book is released, you have a fan for life. Every and anything you write I will buy I don't care if you write about the weather put me down for two copies. I did have 6 favorite authors that I can say I have read everything they have written and still wait with baited breath for everything they are about to write; Cash, Mz Lady P, Nako, Sister Soulja, Brenda Jackson, AC Author and now you, your books are amazing all I can say is

Ahhhh
I can't get enough of this book. I read all the the books in one week. Boy I couldn't let go of the book. My favorite male character is Shiloh..Mann he's dreamy..how gentle he is when he open his heart to Amari. Ooh wee. They are good together. least likeable female character is Tia.. she doesn't sound like a happy person to be peaceful with everyone that seemed she have a right to dogged somebody out which she clearly forgotten her own baggage. my least favorite male is Trent.. he need to get together. Lol but sure he look fine but that loving he got going on with himself is no right time for him get in a serious relationship if he don't find his happiness in himself.. I would wouldn't have him a chance lol. I really love Jade.. she need to be in it more.. ahhh she's something else. Cannot wait for the book 6!!!!!!

I read the entire series and I must say that family can be the best of the worst for you. We never know why someone carries themselves the way that they do or why they react to certain things like they do. How a person grew up is a key factor in the person that they are. And we can see in all of the Carter children that they childhood had a definite impact on them.
I must say that the interaction between Olivia and Andrew has me laughing with tears. I could hear Jaheim asking Tia over and over again, "what is yo name?" You never tapped into why Amari had anger issues and the situation that had to going through testing.
The ending of the book left a lot to ones imagination. Maybe their will appear in another book to give an update on the characters and their lives.
I have enjoyed reading your books and look forward to reading your latest releases.

The Carter Girls 5
This was the best book of the whole series. All the secrets came out and I was not ready for them. With everything out in the open The Carters are left to deal with it and figure things out. This was the perfect way to end the series. Hate to see the Carters go.

Awesome series
I started off reading the carter boys. The carter girls was even better. This book had so many twists and turns. I would have to say out of all the characters I was happy to see Tia mature and at the end making decisions to better herself.

Great Series
This was one of the longest, drama filled, slowest, fastest series I've ever read. When Elijah ask what time it was in Atlanta while in New York, I was confused. Jordyn really has love his slow behind. It was crazy how things fell apart and came right back to together. Everyone seemed to find their niche in life and relationships. There were a lot of heart felt moment with this reckless crew. Shiloh was a complete surprise with his transformation. I guess when family secrets are revealed it changes things. I love the series, la off to Tana's book. I'm not ready for this fool.

FINALLY finished the Carter Family saga. It was a wild, dramatic, toxic ride that I am glad is over. There is a lot of triggers in the entire series, so please take care of yourself while you read this. I am going to need a palette cleanser after this. These characters and their stories felt so real that I need to be reminded that I was reading fiction this whole time. There were some low points, but more high points that took you through the full gamut of emotions in several occasions. I probably won’t read it again but I will remember these characters for a very long time.

Wow
What a great series, what can I say, I love it, I love it and I love it, couldn't get enough. I really enjoyed both the Carter boys and the Carter girls. A lot of error but still good. I hope to read about some of these characters in future books. I just can't accept that this is it lol.

Wow. First time I have ever read a 5-part book series.
One of the reads in quite a very long time. I love our the characters came together towards the end and was finding peace and contentment. Except for Tiffany, but she, too, got hers in the end. I look forward to reading about the next generation of Carters and Montana!!!

THE CARTER GIRLS
What an ending. All the secrets, betrayal, and lies are out. Everybody on their grown folk attitude now. This book got more into the Carters. But at the end of the day their family. And one thing you can't do is pick your family. What an amazing story. Now to the next series.

Out of all the books in all 3 series… this one had me crying and laughing, pissed off, excited, devastated! There was so much happening!! It was hard to stop reading!
I’m glad it ended in a good place to where I can take a break from this crazy ass family! Lol but after all these books, I’m emotionally drained and need to go back to my psychological thrillers! Haha

As far as urban lit goes this is one of the most intense series I've ever read. You don;t want the story to end but Carter Girls 5 challenges your imagination as to what happened to the characters because you have come to care about them.
I found myself going through their struggles with them. Changing teams as the teams changed. That is a mark of a good author when they can make the reader become engrossed in every aspect of the characters. You find yourself rooting for the good, the bad and the ugly.

Those Carter Girls
Damn I hate this series is over, I really enjoyed this novel. You have to come back with more of the Carter girls and Carter boys. I'm going to miss all the characters.

The Carter 👧s 5
I liked this series because the author Desiree has characters that are well written and fleshed out. You become a part of the family as you learn how each person fits in The Carter Family.
