High Price Tenants
For this to be the author's first book, I have to give credit where credit was due. The book was good and also lengthy. So many debuts are too short and end up having multiple parts. Kudos to Danielle.
I would have loved to give this a 5 however there were a few things I wanted to point out. The transitioning in the story sometimes caused confusion. Not the flashbacks, but the points in the future where the characters would suddenly start talking about the past. Also, the chapter where were introduced to Tori's family was a bit much. I feel like so much was going on. We met all these people and although some came back up, they were irrelevant to me.
But even with that said, I'd recommend the book. Thought it was really good! & I'd read again. I loved Asla! She was my favorite & Travis was bae.

Really good debut
For a debut novel, it was entertaining. The women had a lot in common and their friendship was genuine. Tori was my favorite, the one you underestimated. She was loyal to a fault. Bailey, Victoria man those secrets. Secrets were abundant in this book. Family secrets turned deadly. Layah and Lani were funny. Asla was....Asla. I didn't connect with her as I did with the other girls for some reason, but I'm glad she got out. Definitely had some teary moments at the end, didn't see that coming but I wasn't surprised. The dialogue, at times was kind of confusing, trying to see who said what. Separation of some flash backs within the dialogue could have been separated better but I got the gist of it. A good debut novel indeed

Great first book!!
This book was so well written. You could not tell this was the author's first book. At first I was wondering where this story was going but when the women linked up it was on and poppin. What I love about this book was the sisterhood. These women knew each other for months and a grew a bond that some don't build in years all those different personalities meshed well together. Those rich professional women had problems!!! Lol I would not take anything away from this story everything was done to perfection not giving the story away but I didn't feel bad for Tori she accepted the consequences to the life she lived. Honey you did such a great Job I want to live in the middle building. Looking forward to your next releasef

Excellent read. I fell in love with the characters in this book,
even most of the rough necks? Four friends living in the same expensive building form a tight friendship. The reader gets to delve into each woman’s juicy storey and uncover interesting secrets. One of the women is from a well known, no nonsense crime family. 3 of the women were victim’s of some type of abuse. This book was a hidden gem that was selected by one of my book clubs. We are also introduced to the main character’s relatives and friends; To keep the characters straight in my head, I had to create a character map. I recommend this book.

What a story!!!!
The storyline and the four main characters is what saved this book from receiving two or three stars from me.
I loved all four ladies, from their personalities to their lifestyles. All were believable. I laughed, I cried, and in my mind I'm Layah lol. And I believe Layah could be a few trainings away from being another
Tori lol.
What I didn't like was the flow of the story and the character development. I believe the story needs to be tweaked, and the constant additions of characters with little to no development made the story difficult to follow.
I enjoyed the book despite my opinions :)

This was a really good book but had a lot of errors. Although the errors didn’t take away from the story they were everywhere and it made me almost stop reading. These group of friends were everything! My fav was Asla lol she was the “mom friend” of the bunch and that’s me all the way. I had a lot of favorite moments in the book but their friendship was the best. I definitely didn’t see the ending coming but I’m not surprised Karma comes unexpectedly and hit you hard. Like I said this was a really good book but the errors were horrible I’ll still recommend and hope the author fix the errors

Amazing
I enjoyed this book from beginning to end. Very well written. I love how you touched on the lives of four women of different ages, who have experienced different childhoods, live in the same building and form a bond the moment they get to know one another. There were moments of happiness, sadness, anger and shocking revelations, but through it all, Asla, Bailey, Leyah and Tori are there for each other. Congratulations Danielle on your first book and I definitely look forward to reading more of your work.

Great debut
This book was definitely one of the best books I have read. It had everything in it, Love, drama, laughter,sadness. Pretty much experienced every emotion. The way these four ladies came together and helped each other out in so many ways was great. They all had their issues and secrets but they worked through them together. Even their significant others were there for each other. I think it was well written and the characters were very relatable. Kudos to you and I’m looking forward to reading more by you.

When I first started with the book there were a lot of characters being introduced and I felt overwhelmed so I had stopped reading for a little while but after I made it passed that the book really took off and was great read.
Bailey, Layah, Tori, & Asla those ladies stories were chilling. From dealing with traumatic experiences to having to put on this “face for the world” showing I can conquer anything.

Thriller
For this to be this author debut...she came with that fire.🔥
These four women that where connect first by a build but by the end by life was a amazing.
Each one with their own life battles. And the men who love them through it.
Tori the protector, Asla mama hen, Bailey / Victoria you never know, and Layah TTG
All survivors in their own right. I really enjoyed this read.

This was a good read that went to a great read.
At first I was confused about what was going on. Everyone was together I couldn't tell we who was who.
Once I got to the second half I was all in. I knew everybody. I even knew the extra personalities.
Know who your friends are. If you can't love them for who they are and the issues they have, don't waste their time.
Lifetime friends like these are hard to find.

This book was... A LOT. Goodness. Really action packed, funny, thoughtful. But a lot. A lot of childhood trauma, current trauma, and drama. Also a lot of words. Lots and lots of words that I sometimes had to read a few times to figure out what was going on and who was saying what. There needed to be a lot
more clarity on the dialogue. Overall enjoyable book. Will definitely read another book by this author.

Great story line
This was an ok read the some parts could of flowed better but I understood what wasn't said. The story line was impeccable , though slowly started not extremely slow, took a while to remember characters. It grabbed my attention once the chaos sstarted. Highly recomemended if your looking for a more than local drug dealers meets ratchet yayadada 🙊🙊👊✌.

Outstanding Debut
This is a certified 5 star read. This new author left nothing on the table with her first release. The story of women from different walks of life captivates you and makes you feel like you’re watching a weekly sitcom vs. reading. Great job! Looking forward to more reads by this author!

Amazing
This book took me by surprise. In the beginning I didn’t really understand where it was going but, once I did I couldn’t put it down. All the girls were amazing like I could feel them through the story.
Wish it was longer because I don’t want to stop reading about them
Truly a great book

Interesting read!
Although this book was somewhat lengthy and confusing at times, I really enjoyed it. It was amazing how these four women came together and became such clean se friends. There were moments of tears and laughter throughout the book. I would love to read more about G and the relationship with his son.

Heartbroken
I’m at a loss for words. This book had me so taken I couldn’t decide where to go with my feelings. These women and their stories are so intriguing, strong, scary, and funny. I was not expecting the direction this story took and that is the sign of a good writer and a well written story.
