Wow I was on the edge of my seat the whole book.I can't wait for part two.Tyshon was a dumb ass and he deserves everything he got.Tiffany is stupid too why bring your child into something like that.Then for him to have to see that all the time females are too dumb.Chris and Monique are so damn cute.Im glad she finally got happiness she deserves it.Kendra and Rashad are too cute too.Im glad someone finally tamed her.The other girls was cool too.That ending wasn't expected but it's always how some hood story goes

Betrayal

Monique and Kendra sisterly bond is so good. Monique went through a lot with Tyshon. Now he sees that the grass isn't greener on the other side. Glad Chris come into Monique life cause that is what she needed. Tiffany needs to get her $hit together

So I have absolutely come to love this author. The book was intriguing from start to finish. Chris and Mo's characters were my favorite, the relationship they had was so sweet.
