BITTERSWEET: BITTER 4
Zuri is back and she’s feeling better than ever. After regaining her confidence, she finds herself in a place where she must choose her heart or her mind. Love left a bittersweet taste on the tip of her tongue so when Zuri sees the perfect opportunity for revenge, she takes it. This impulsive decision changes the course of her life and she finds herself back on the highway to hell. Along the way, she finds Kali, Halo, and Tamia. These ladies, along with her feisty cousin Valencia, have their own war stories...proving that love is a battle and pain is certain. With deadbeat daddies, pesky side chicks, crazy friends, and drama at every turn will these ladies manage to defy the odds and change the stigma for the term “bitter” once and for all? When love turns bitter and revenge seems sweet...who wins in the end? Is all truly fair in love and war? The BITTER series finally comes to an explosive, yet BITTERSWEET ending that will be relatable to readers of all ages.

The PERFECT ending!
My subject line says it all!
All questions answered! I'm not confused by anything or anyone! Everything happened as it was supposed to, especially with Zuri ❤

Good read
This was a good end to this series. I like the concept of the group for women and would like this to be a real thing.

Sweet and Salty
What can I see my emotions are all over the place! Bittersweet had me smiling laughing sad mad and crying! I'm glad Shakela came through with this series as women we are naturally emotional creatures but when and after we carry and deliver those emotions become stronger! But please dont get it twisted men are emotional too and when both sexes emotions intertwine boy is it chaotic! Each of these women stories touched me in a different way and even the men but the one I will never forgive is Dante so if he hiding six feet under somewhere he deserves it! Yes this series is sweet and salty but so worth reading! Awesome job Shakela!

Sad to see this series end.
Not only do I love this series because of the story (I love me some Zuri, Vee & Flip) but I also love this because it’s relatable. I’ve learned so much from this series. The BITTER movement Zuri created and the life lessons she and the rest of the girls have learned along the way was really inspiring. This wasn’t just a story of love and heartbreak and everything in between, this was a story of finding yourself. I’ll recommend this series to everyone!

Really after everything Flip
First I didn't care for all the switching characters. Second I can't believe aftet everything Zuri winds up back with Flip. It makes no sense to me. Then he was so nonchalant about the abortion. It was a whole mess. Then for Dante to get off after basically killing his daughter. Ugghh so not cool. Glad the ladies grew and bonded and got their version of HEA even of its not with the exact person I thought was a better choice (Zuri) but oh well to each its own. A different type of read still pretty good though.

I enjoyed the series
I love a long book, so when you released Bitter I was sooo hype! The first book was bomb, I didn’t know you finished the series but was excited. Book two was great but when I got to book 3 I felt Zuri should’ve been progressing more. It was almost as if she stayed stagnant. Then the end of 3 you only get a small glimpse of her growth. That was my only issue, I wanted more of her in that butterfly phase. Can’t wait to get into more from this author!

Loved it!
I’ve been waiting for this book and I can honestly say it was worth the wait. Every woman’s story was different and insightful, showing pros, cons, and consequences. I saw a little of myself in each character and can relate on different levels. Finishing this book was very bittersweet

Good read
From book 1 to book 4 , these
Ladies have had me on a roller coaster ride. I'm glad everyone has started to heal and realize that they needed to self love and know their worth. Great job in telling this story. I wished Did I and Tristan would have worked out. Glad the ladies that share the same baby daddy could come together for the sake of the children.

Bittersweet
Glad the ending came full circle, the growth that all these women showed throughout this series was amazing. Not everyone got their storybook happy ending but learning to love themselves was the best ending

Great read
This book was really great. It's so true how love makes women behave and how men hurt them to the core. I'm glad that the women grew and found love and peace. I hated that Tamia had to deal with losing her child because of her BD. That made me so sad.

An honest Review
I did enjoy the series enough to finish it, it was a bit tough due to the dragging and repetition.The last book good because I got the questions answered.... I don’t understand why everyone got their own story it was just a bit much for me, I couldn’t even finish Halo story bc so I was over it! O and Velencia bothered me 🙄
