Great read with a great twist. #HappyReading

Blurred Lines was a part of my book club reading list May 2019. Honestly, I was disappointed. The story line had a solid foundation, but the unfolding of the stories became unrealistic to me, a bit far-fetched. Plus the corny Love and Hip-Hop plugs didn't win me over. I'll start with a basic synopsis as I always do. We start with Carys and Nikko attempting to take their relationship to the next level with a romantic getaway with the hopes of finally sealing their love by making love of course. Unfortunately this is halted when family members of both Carys and Nikko intervene. As each of the uninvited guests tells their life's story, Carys and Nikko must face the facts (after deciphering many lies) they may not be able to continue on their journey of love. Of course you must read to determine the outcome.
Now what spoke to my soul. Lies and deceit will only bring more lies and deceit. Even when you have a pure intent, deceit will backfire on you. This proved to be the case more than once in Blurred Lines. The next thing is integrity should take precedence over success. This has recently come up for debate in the Monique vs Steve Harvey/Oprah Winfrey/Lee Daniels/Tyler Perry issue. Seeking success or money is far more detrimental in the long run than upholding a level of integrity. Both honesty and integrity are linked together and has the potential of bringing lasting happiness if done properly.
If you like the Love and Hip-Hop series, this probably is the book for you to read. I believe more attention to detail and timeline was needed to provide a more authentic experience. Overall, the storyline was captivating.
As always Happy Reading,
