Review

This lesson was not just for Shameeka and Tiesha but every female who thinks it's okay to fight over a man.
Maya proved that there is no such thing as a best friend. She proved it time and time again with her words and actions.
Vanity had her share of problems with a man who claimed to love her, but shattered her heart in the worst way imaginable. She has finally found happiness with her first crush after years apart, but someone doesn't want to see them happy.

Awesome read

I'm sitting her with my mouth open cause the ending left me stuck. I love how Lola wrote the book in different stages of there life. A total different way of writing. You see how they both lived there lives and every now and then saw each other and the spark was there. But just like real life you have snakes and hater that are so close to you. I loved this book and can't wait for part 2. Check out this book you definitely will be hooked!

I would have enjoyed this book a lot better if there weren't so many grammatical errors which was so not hard to miss. The story was good which I look forward to reading book 2 and hopefully the author has found a better editor. Overall I'm still giving the story 4 stars because this was intriguing.

A Good read

This was a good read. The storyline sucked me right on into the story. I developed a love/hate for Mark and Maya. They need to meet my girl Karma. Vanity and Streetz really went through it. A real look into their lives, snakes and all. I can't wait to see what's next.

Potential

This story has potential to be really good. There were far too many spelling mistakes and using the wrong words. Despite that I was enjoying the first half but the second half felt rushed.

Good read

The book was good but there were a lot of mistakes in the writing. Like mixing up the two different guys name. I'm glad that Van found out about Mya and Mark cause he had been playing games for too long. Can't wait for part two
