The Secret Lives of Baltimore Girls

by Katt

Charlie Dixon never had it easy. Growing up in a loveless home, she gave the saying “looking for love in all the wrong places,” its meaning. Failed relationship after failed relationship have led Charlie to give up on love; that is, until Damon Williams crashes into her life—literally. Charlie never expected to find love with Damon, but when she starts falling, her childhood hangups threaten to destroy her last chance. Will Charlie learn to accept love and finally be happy, Oo will the odds stay stacked against her?

Emerson Dayle is finally coming into her own as a career woman. After a devastating divorce from her childhood love, Mason, Emerson had to pick up the pieces of her shattered life one shard at a time. With a newfound love of self, she swears off the days of sacrificing herself for the sake of her husband. As a new entrepreneur and wildly successful internet influencer, Emerson feels like she’s finally made it. But when a secret from her past threatens everything she has worked for, her life quickly changes. Can Emerson keep her past mistakes out of the limelight, or will everything she’s worked for fall apart right before her eyes?

Mikayla King has a secret she guards carefully. Her children, Kai and Zuri, are the only people keeping Mikayka grounded, until her relationship with her children is threatened too. Mikayla would rather continue suffering mental and physical abuse at the hands of her husband, professional sportscaster Charles King, than go back to being poor and subject her children to the life she lived as a child. But when Mikayla’s deepest secret is revealed, life as she knows it crumbles to pieces. It is not long before she turns to substances to ease her pain, just like her mother. Can Mikayla overcome her demons to save her children, or will she see her worst fear realized?

this book is full of drama and you really get a realistic insight on what goes down in some friendships, at first i wasn’t feeling it because this was my first book full a drama but it really does grow on you and you’ll start to see through each girl in the book. although i feel like the ending should be different this is a quick read and something you can get through it one sitting, it really will have you on edge and thinking what the outcome will be.

This book was pretty good. Charlie, Emerson, and Mikayla are friends who treat each other like sisters. Emerson divorces her husband and Charlie falls in love with him. Mikayla is in an abusive marriage that she tolerates for her children. Read the book to find out about Emerson's secret lover, how she finds out about Charlie and her ex-husband, and how Mikayla stops her abuse. I'm on to the 2nd book.

This was a good read, but made me mad. I was sucking my teeth every time I read about Charlie, I really wouldn't have been able to forgive her.
