Finding My Way Back to Love
They were Miami’s favorite couple. Mustafa and Kennedy Strong. Their names rang bells in the streets of Miami. Before Mustafa and Kennedy were a married couple, they were once two six-year-old kids who were the best of friends. But from day one, they knew that they loved each other. Years later, they now have three beautiful children, but Mustafa’s occupation is dangerous and Kennedy want’s nothing more than for her husband to leave the streets alone. After Mustafa’s parents, the streets raised him next, so that’s all he knows. Will Mustafa’s stubbornness cause him to lose his family? Should he have listened to his wife? No doubt that the Strong family will take a major loss, but is it fixable is the question. This book will make you cry, laugh, smile, angry, and cry all over again. We just hope that with everything that Kennedy and Mustafa endures, that they will be able to find their way back to love.

Mustafa
This book had me on an emotional rollercoaster. I was rooting for Kennedy and Mustafa. Logan is low down, I wanted to choke the snot out of her. Diamond Johnson has written her way to my list of favorites .

This was a good read and I'm happy that the author put a twist on her typical thematic writing of having a broken woman that needed to be saved by a man. At least Kennedy started out strong and was broken by the death of her daughter. I liked these characters

Logan is a bitch and deserved so much more! Yes Kennedy!

I’m giving this a solid four stars.
I’m not gonna lie, when I first started this book, I was trying to see if I could stomach getting through it. The first couple of chapters were reading like one of those generic hood urban stories where they tell you EVERYTHING upfront. He the baddest, he don’t play about this, he don’t play about that, everybody looks like this, everybody does that. It was a lot of long paragraphs basically telling me who these people were instead of just letting me get into the story. I was like, hold up now, I ain’t got time for this.
But I had already read the synopsis, and the actual premise sounded too good for me to give up that quickly. A woman loses her child, falls into a drug addiction that lasts seven years, ends up living under a bridge, and through all of that, her ex-husband and the two children she still has never completely turn their backs on her? I said there is a GOOD story somewhere in here, so let me keep going.
And thank God I did, because I didn’t have to stomach that beginning for too long. Once the story actually got moving, I was IN THERE.
This isn’t my first Diamond D. Johnson book, so once she got into her groove, she gave me exactly what I expected from her. She knows how to suck you into a story and make you want to keep reading. And you already know she’s gonna give you a big nigga who don’t play about his woman, his kids, his family, or anything belonging to him. Mustafa was definitely that man.
I loved Mustafa and Kennedy.
Kennedy went through A LOT. Seven years on drugs is seven years, and she definitely didn’t choose the best way to cope with losing her daughter. But I loved watching her finally make the decision that she wanted better, especially for the two children she still had here who needed their mother. She went to rehab, did the work, got clean, and by the end of this first book, we leave her freshly out of rehab and trying to put her life back together.
What really got me, though, was the unconditional love throughout this story.
Even while Kennedy was living under a bridge, her children were still visiting their mama. They loved her. They were protective over her. They weren’t ashamed to claim her as their mother just because she was at the lowest point of her life. And when she finally decided to get better, they were genuinely happy for her and rooting for her.
Mustafa was the same way. Life moved on, circumstances changed, and they weren’t together anymore, but that love never really went anywhere.
And THAT is what this book felt like to me more than anything else. It was a story about unconditional love. Loving somebody when they’re at their best and when they are absolutely nowhere near their best. Seeing somebody all the way down and still wanting them to get back up. Having their back while also giving them tough love when they need it. Nobody was patty-caking Kennedy or putting a pacifier in her mouth and pretending what she was doing was okay. They wanted better for her, but they still loved her while she was struggling to want better for herself.
Now, Logan.
From Logan’s position, I can understand feeling threatened. You’re supposed to marry this man, meanwhile he continuously talks about his ex-wife and makes it VERY clear he still doesn’t play about her. He’ll kill about Kennedy. He’s protective over Kennedy. And anybody with eyes can see this man is clearly still in love with Kennedy. So yeah, I could understand a fiancée feeling some type of way.
But Logan’s intentions weren’t pure enough for me to really sympathize with her. It felt more like, “I like him. I like what he does for me. I like his money. I like this lifestyle, and Kennedy is threatening that.”
And girl, your solution was to send this woman COKE to keep her addicted? Then send your brother and his friends to beat her up and break her arm?
You were so jealous and malicious that you weren’t even thinking straight, because all you did was push Mustafa closer to Kennedy. That attack made him even more protective over her, and ultimately it helped lead to Kennedy getting into rehab and getting clean. You literally helped create the exact situation you were trying to prevent.
I honestly didn’t feel any type of way about Logan being there in the first place, though. She always read as temporary to me. And I didn’t hold it against Mustafa for moving on. It had been seven years. Of course people are going to move on with their lives. They may date, fall in love, get engaged, get married. That part was realistic to me.
But I’m definitely interested in seeing what happens now that Kennedy is clean and back in the picture. I even wonder if Kennedy might start liking somebody else at some point, because I already KNOW Mustafa ain’t going for that. I want to see what their dynamic looks like now that they actually have the opportunity to deal with each other outside of Kennedy’s addiction.
And then Diamond had to end the damn book with Mustafa basically standing there about to marry Logan, questioning whether he can even go through with it because the woman who really has his heart is sitting back there.
Ma’am.
So obviously I’m going straight into book two because I need to see how THAT plays out.
I also loved Kennedy being a beautiful dark-skinned woman. I always appreciate running across that representation, especially when she’s allowed to be loved deeply even while being complicated, flawed, and going through some shit.
Overall, I really enjoyed this. The beginning had me VERY iffy because the heavy narration and all the upfront character information made me think I knew exactly what kind of book I was getting. I was wrong. Get through those first couple of chapters and let the actual story start telling itself, because once it does, Diamond pulls you in.
It’s heartfelt, emotional, messy, passionate, and ultimately a story about people loving somebody through one of the ugliest periods of her life without pretending that period wasn’t ugly.
This definitely changed my mind as it went along and earned a solid four stars out of me. I really did love it.

This is that🔥
This book is one of the realest books I have read in a while. This book is realistic read because this situation happen a lot in the real world. Mustafa and Kennedy definitely had that real genuine love where you don't have possession of your own heart. You can't tell through the entire book that there's no ending for them because they truly love each other. Tragedy came in and created a whirlwind for them which created a light earthquake but that's okay because trial and error makes the weakest strong again. Logan needs to act her age and stop being insecure. She states several times how she knows that Mustafa love Kennedy more than he loves her. So, do Logan truly love Mustafa or is it about the money and status. I believe it is the money and status. Logan is selfish because she never considered how the boys would have gone through if Kennedy would have been killed. I hope she don't pull the pregnancy card because Mustafa may end up going thru with wedding just to do the right thing and if that happen may get worst before it get better because that will probably send Mustafa and Kennedy backwards. This was a emotional read and I enjoyed it. Need pt2ASAP.

The ❤️ wants what the ❤️ wants
Diamond you did your thang with this one as well. When I tell you there is not a book the you have a haven't read. This book will pull every motion you have from you. From beginning to the end is emotional. To ❤️ someone from 6 yes old is something all in its self however combine that love with tragedy. Then to recover and feel like the love of your life is gone. I just pray in book 2 Kennedy stays strong cause this Bih gone come at her at all angles trying to get someone that never belonged to her. I hope Musafa kill her & her brother. Diamond keep that pen game on point ☝🏾

Mustafa and Kennedy have literally been an item, since they were 6 years old. Happily married with 3 children, life is good, until…one fateful day changes their life forever.
Devastated, Kennedy blames her husband and then masks he pain with drugs, much to the dismay of her family and friends.
At his wits end, Mustafa is forced to leave the streets alone and focus on his family. He has an amazing support system, but doesn’t realize that there’s an enemy in his camp.
This is my first read by @_diiamondddd_ , but certainly not my last. This young lady is an amazing storyteller and I highly recommend this 💎💎💎💎💎read.

WHY
Why would any one hav a child killed in these stories. That was areal turn off for me. We live in a world with so much violence against children, why would someone want to read about it in a love story. These stories are fiction…make children roles beautiful and safe. II already knew how this story would end that’s why I skipped to the last chapter.
Logan did not deserve to be left at the alter and Mustafa should have been man enough to tell her prior to the wedding and Logan should have more self love and respect for herself to allow Mustafa to constantly disrespect her.
This is one of my least favorite books by Ms. Diamond

Excellent 10 🌟
Mustafa is man of all man, the way he loved and still loving Kennedy is so AMAZING. I so can't stand Logan and so ready for Mustafa to find out what she did so he can end thing with her. I give Kennedy credit for getting clean and trying her best to get that relationship back with her son's. I'm glad Mustafa didn't go through with marrying Logan now I'm anxious to see what's going to happen in part 2. Diamond your a beast with the pen and I can't get enough of it. Awesome read!!!

So Good!
I want Kennedy and Musafah back together! I know Logan grimy self us going to tell him she's pregnant ugh I can't stand her. I hope they really find out the truth about her, also everything she had done to Kennedy. I love that no matter what Paris never stop being a real friend to Kennedy and Mustafah's family never turn their backs on her and he made sure that the twins always knew who she was. I cried when Joy died, Diamond I hope you give them twin girls that look just like Joy.

Omg
This story definitely pulls at the Heartstrings I was just in shock and definitely overwhelmed with emotion the author did not disappoint and did not tell no lies you will definitely laugh cry be angry talk to yourself about the characters like they're your family but at the end it definitely makes you appreciate the love that family brings and happiness family brings into your life and it makes you think about decisions that you make that could potentially devastate everyone around you thank you for food for thought!

😍😍😍
You know this had so many twists and turns but I was on the edge of my seat until the end. Poor little Joy!!!! I don't know what I would have done had that happened to me. But I loved Kennedy and Mustafa because they were friends first. Loving your best friend is so easy, yes you will go through things but it's like yall always make it back. Logan pissed me off because she don't get it. From the beginning Mustafa told her he was still healing but she wouldn't let up but seven years is a long time. But when it's real no amount of time can erase what was meant to be.

Yass!!
This was a very good read and I can’t believe I didn’t read it sooner. All I can say to Logan is that Karma is a B! No woman should have that happen to her on her wedding day but I can’t lie like I’m not tickled that it happened to you. On to part 2, where I’m sure the drama will continue.

A Great Love Story
Let me start by saying Diamond you are doing your thing. I love every book you have written. I felt real bad for Kennedy to have to go through losing a child. I know that had to be hard for her to turn to drugs. I am glad her ex-husband never gave up on her. I did not want him to marry Logan. She is very sneaky. I glad he finally came to his senses. I can not wait for book 2.

I know that had to be hard for her to turn to drugs. I am glad her ex-husband never gave up on her. I did not want him to marry Logan. She is very sneaky. I glad he finally came to his senses. I can not wait for book 2.

Beautiful!!!
A must read!!!
From the first book to the last has been twist and turns at every corner. The way the author has included everyone’s role and story is simply wonderful and allows your imagination and o get to grips with every character in the storyline.
From the children to the oldest of adults, you will not be disappointed in this series of books...I highly recommend this as a must read 10/10.

Wow
This book was good so far. I think it's sad when a tragedy happens and it sends ppl down a dark road that they can't ever seem to make their way off. I am glad Kennedy was able to get help and find her way bk to her boys it's Just said that her and Mustafa had to lose their baby girl. Logan she didn't seem right for Mustafa especially when she started to do sneaky under handed things to get rid of Kennedy now karma will handle her and her ways.

Yasss!!
This re-read just proved that this book is just as good as it was the first time I read it back in 2021. Same feelings. Same reactions. Same “why didn’t I read this sooner” energy.
Nothing felt watered down. Nothing felt old. It still gave exactly what it was supposed to give.
On to part 2 because clearly I learned nothing 😌

Banger!!!!!
This book was everything! It def had me a emotional. The love between Kennedy and mustafa was dope. The way that man stood by her is the true definition of a real man. I absolutely hate Logan because she a dirty little something. I can't wait for Kennedy and mustafa to get back together and start over. I just pray Logan ain't pregnant. Come on book 2!

Love it
I was in tears in the begin of the book for the first for chapter's. This author know how to bring the emotions out. Logan is trifling. Kennedy was happy then broken now fix love her growth. Mustafa was pissing me off cause he put to much faith in Logan word but i live how he loved his ex wife and best friend. Can't wait to see what this story grows to.

This was a great book!!!! I am so glad Mustafa didn't marry Logan. She was too insecure and I hated that she had Kennedy attacked. I was too happy when Kennedy flushed the stuff. I hope Kennedy and Mustafa get back together. I love Paris and Kennedy friendship. I can't wait four part 2, to see what Logan dies to try to win Mustafa back.

Wow
This book had me in tears. Mustafa had a love for Kennedy that was so strong. He stood by her thru it all. Logan is one selfish woman. I can't believe all the things she did to get Kennedy out of the picture. What she doesn't realize is if he truly loved her she wouldn't have to worry about small things like that. Great book...I can't wait for part two.

Real love
It takes a helluva strong man to still care and love his ex wife knowing her condition and still allowing the boys to visit her. I can't wait till Kennedy remembers how she knows Logan. Wondering how Mustafa gonna act once he finds out Logan and Tio had something to do with Kennedy!! Another banger and can't wait for book 2!!

True love
This book was sooo emotional. It brings out anger, hurt, sadness, and happiness. From the 1st page, I was drawn in, and couldn't put the book down. I loved how Mustafa loved Kennedy despite what they went through. I know Logan is about to become a problem. I can't wait for part 2!

Listen..... this was such an enjoyable read that I couldn’t put it down if I wanted to. It was predictable, but I was captivated the entire time. I’m eager to see how part 2 will be especially with that ending. Emory my favorite, lol I dunno why, but I’m intrigued by his character. I’m ecstatic that Logan got her Karma!!!

It’s about to get interesting!!
Kennedy had everything until her her daughter was killed, she got up in drugs and lost it. Her support system there all the way. Mustafa tried to move on but the love he had forKen couldn’t be denied. Logan was pathetic, she only wanted him for his money. The love Ken has for her boys is everything. On to part 2

Annoying but okay…
This came off annoying because he characters kept getting sidetracked and rambled about things over and over. Other than that, it was a good change up for this author because usually the stories are pretty much the same, but this was different from anything I’ve read so far. I’d checkout the next one.
