Our Love is the Realest

Rate this book
Yikayla Goode and Waayil Christian have been best friends since the elementary days, never seeing one another as nothing. That is until one night they both confess their feelings for the other, which changes the course of their relationship. The two are excited about what's to come, until a heinous crime committed, rips them apart for seemingly forever. Both feeling like their love can never be rekindled, the two go on with their lives. But what happens when they both get the chance to be together again? Will they abruptly leave the lives they've built separate from one another? Or will they realize that too much time has passed, too much damage is done, and that they were always better off as friends? Yikayla, along with bougie Dree, ride-or-die Rori, and promiscuous Jonaya make up the beautiful Goode sisters, all with completely different outlooks on life. The one thing they do have in common though, outside of their blood, is their deep yearning for love. The sisters believe they have a tight grip on life, until past and present loves come to shake things up a bit. In this tale of love lost and love gained, these beauties will have to decide which love is the realest; the one they've chosen themselves, or the one that seemed to barge it's way into their lives.

Oh wow AWSOMEEEEEEE

Wait a minuteeeeeeeeeee how you just gone end it like that Shvonne. Out of all things she could have did she lie about something like that and caused Waayil to spend 6 years in jail for no reason. I can't wait til he find out so she could get a good butt whooping. I'm gone need Jonaya to stop playing with her and Nusef feelings. I have a feeling that Dree is going to really regret picking Sean over Canyon because I don't think Sean is who he really appear to be. I would be glad when the truth come out about Alba so Waayil and Yikayla could just live there lives. Overall great read ready for part 2

great read

I’m going down Shvonne’s catalog and I must say this is my favorite so far. I’m biased because the location is my hometown the big M and there are complete fools in Memphis just like these ninjas. Wednesday and Dree just trifling

🙌🙌🙌

First off I love Yikayla &Waayil together thats true love at it finest! I'm glad they dropped the dead weight with their ex's and decided to pick up where they left off true power couple!! Jonaya just need to go head on and let love in with her best friend Nusef! It clear that they love each other and have deep feelings for each other Jonaya need to go head and take that leap and let Nusef love on her n stop fighting it! I'm excited to see what will become of them. Now Rori up there smashing her "suppose to be boyfriend" bff Eko.. Anyone would be like high he'll noo she str8 bogus 4 that..but the chemistry and how Eko always there for her when her own cheating as boyfriend is not speak volumes! It's not something she proud of doing but when love calls you can't help it when it's real. Then poor Dree stuck between choosing between two men she been kicking it with hard i kno she want to become a lawyer n want the finer things in life but she need no to forget where she come from. Just because it glitters and gold don't mean it's the right thing for you. I rather know the issues i will be face with the person up front versus finding out when it's too late. I felt sorry for Canyon. Lastly y'all the ending smh Wednesday ass is messed all the way up! She missed me off it the end had me feeling all sorry n heartbroken for her add when the whole time she played me and Waayil! 😔 her brother did a six year bid behind her lying deceitful ass! Smh the lies they tell chile! The lies they tell! Shvonne I must say I came in thru hunty with this book! I'm to part 2 y'all! Go read this u won't regret it!🔥🔥🔥🔥

Yeah👏👏👏fire🔥🔥🔥....man this is good

So started it out slow, but ended up being extremely developed and fired up.
Waayil is bae, bae, bae... I want me some just like that.. Alpha, boss man, thug, independent, loyal, protector (hint: Emil) and anything else on the adjective line. He is it for me.
Yakira is so nice and so cute and intelligent and just a down ride chick. Real Bonnie..
Nussef, oh my god also bae and bae and bae... I truly hope he continue being like this and get all he dreams of... Smart, funny, intelligent
Joyana man you better man up and stop being scared because ain't nothing to be scared of.
Cannyon is another bae (man I tell this book is full of bae) also smart and thug but very mellow
Dree, wow... Only thing I can about this woman. I just hope she go in there and get messed up and lose out on something good instead of chasing something unreal.
Eko, hum... Yep another bae and thug, and smart, and boss man and down...
Rori, yes get it girl...
I just hope that Alba, Wednesday, Leighton, Roscoe, Marquise, Gavin, Jenni, Sax, Chiana get what they deserved and have karma visit them soon, specially Wednesday.
Let me go see now what's up...

Good Story

So far this is a cute little story. I say this because right now all these characters are young and doing the silliness that young people do. They're going from childhood friends to crushes to love. I'm feeling it though but I can't wait for them to grow up. I see it in Yakalah and Waayil now. Jonaya and Nusef are starting to feel the love too although they seem to be fighting it. Dree is just snobbish so she's giving up Canyon to be with Sean but I agree with Canyon when he told her she's giving up someone who loves her for material things. It's tough having to decide between two cuties. I only hope Waayil can stay out of jail. He goes hard for people he loves. Hope he never finds out Wednesday's secret but we all know he will. I hope he and Yakalah make it even though you already know Roscoe will be a problem. I like Eko but does he want Rori or to just get back at his friend. Rori is being messy doing two friends. I like the drama of it all. I feel the action brewing so I'm gonna continue with the story.

This was awesome.

This book was good from the beginning to end. Waayil and Kay possessed chemistry from the beginning which they are meant to be together. The drama was limited and very minor which made it interesting and not overwhelming because it was everyday issues. I hope Sef and Maya comes to drip with their underlying situation. Free needs to stop her snobbishness because Sean it what he seems to be. She needs to remember everything that glitter ain't go?d. Its something about Sean that not fight. I hope Free knows that its going to be a task getting Canyon back. He's a good dude. I like Rori and Eko together. I hope Gavin, Alba, Roscoe gets what coming to them. I don't trust Sax. I hope we get more info on NEO. Oh what's up with their stepfather Jasper because their mother is out of pocket but I feel is more to the marriage than meets the eye. I don't even know what say about Wednesday. I need pt 2 ASAP. Shvonne always cone through with this heat.

Great Read

I so hope there is more to this book because how things were going I'm sure some people need to be outed. There are so many sneaky people in this book and the deceitful things they did or would do have me shocked. I can't stand that Alba chick. She made me sick throughout the entire book. She needs to go on about her business. Kay and Yil are cute together. The love they have is undeniable! I was shocked about Sef revealing his feelings about Kay's sister! I think they would be cute together. Dree needs to change her attitude about things. She had a good man and messed things up and for absolutely no reason. That ending though. Smh. I was beyond shocked and mad about what was revealed. That was something messed up and caused someone to lose years. Hopefully the truth isn't revealed to others, because things would hurt others in the worse way!

THIS REVIEW IS THE REALEST

As usual Shvonne Latrice has presented to the readers a love story like no other; in that we meet sisters, brothers and friends whose lives are so intertwined that you have to keep reading.

The Goode sisters, all beautiful and desirable, find themselves faced with matters of the heart. Then we meet the Christian twins, Waayil and Yusef, and their family of adopted siblings. All traveling on their life journeys with so much unexpected drama headed their way.

If murder, betrayal, deception, baby mama drama, baby daddy drama, mystery and oh-so-steamy sex scenes are what make for the kind of read you like then this one's for you.

Shvonne Latrice can't put out part 2 soon enough for me. I'll be waiting.

Listen

When I tell you that last line got my mouth hanging open. What does Wednesday mean she lied about their Uncle Harry? WTF type of shit is that? Now Waayil done missed some years of his life locked up over a damn lie. She got me hotter than fish grease right now. Knowing how throwed the fuck off Waayil is why would she do that? Okay I'm back. So Rosco really and truly believe that he can get Yakayla back. In my heart of heart he's been cheating. His shit is just catching up to him. I can't wait for Yil to find out that that baby ain't his. Then when he finds out about Alba and Gavin I wanna be a fly on the wall.....

This is the dumbest book ever

This book is the dumbest book that I've ever read. All of the characters acted like a bunch of teenagers. To the mother cheating on her husband, in his house and doing it in front of daughters. Then the men characters love the Goode sisters but they are either in a relationship with someone, or just being hoes, but yet they share they love the Goode sisters. Then the Goode sister don't what the shell they want. They love the guys but that act like a bunch of hoes. I wouldn't read book 2, even if it was free!

This One Is Really A Hit!

This is my first book by this author and I have been thoroughly entertained. It is full of suspense. Those Goods Sisters are something else and are good matches for Wayil and his brothers. So many secrets! So many lies! And oh, so sexy! Now that Wednesday secret is out--- she needs a good a.. Whooping. How can you cause one man's death and your brother to go to jail and still go on about your life? She is a piece of work that need to be cleaned up.

Realest love

Damn Wednesday is the worst kind of BiTCH foe what she did and hoes gonna be hoes and lie about some one fathering there child so that same shit different day but it’s so many lies and secrets going on it’s crazy . And to top it off Dree should just tell him why she really didn’t want him and because she mad he had a baby even though they wasn’t together that’s her issue sad part is I think cannon is better for her because I have a feeling once she have sex with Sean things will change in a bad way

Top Tier

This book was sooo good! Like I cannot put it down. I almost didn’t wanna write this review because it was stopping me from going to book #2 😂

Favorite main characters so far are Jonaya and Nusef because they are freaking hilarious! My least favorite right now is Dree… she just be acting to uppity for me and I know she gone hurt Canyon.

Overall, enjoying this series very much, highly recommend!

SN: the names in this book is something else lol the most normal name is roscoe and that’s pushing it lol

Great book

Great book.. I love Yikayla and Waayil as a couple. I'm glad he accepted her son and she forgave him for not talking to her while he was in jail. And now Alba is trying to trap him with a baby to keep him. I hope Nusef and Jonaya start a relationship, I think they would be good for each other. The secret that Wednesday revealed left me speechless. Can't wait for part two.

Our Love is the Realest

Wednesday was foul. I can't believe she did that. I can't wait until Alba get caught up in her mess. I think one of her so called friends is going to expose her. I love Way and Kay together. Dree going to realize just because the grass is greener doesn't mean it's for you. Jonaya need to go ahead realize she's in love with her best friend. Rori and Eko makes a nice couple.

Great read

This book was good from beginning to end. I can't wait to find out why Wednesday lied about her uncle to Waayil. He went to jail because of her lie. Jonaya needs to go ahead and give Nusef a chance because he loves her and she loves him too. I can't wait til Alba gets caught in her lie as well as Gavin. Those two deserve each other. You did your as usual and I can't wait til the next book drops.

Well damn

I thought I was ready, but clearly I was not! This book had my emotions all over the place with in love not in love with each other. I just want two somebodies to get it right & stop playing with each other's emotions!! I see why those Goode sisters don't know what to do bout LOVE cause they momma ain't taught them properly. Now I'm gonna chill & patiently wait on book 2 so PLEASE don't make us wait too long!! Once again you put out a banger

Tonya-Review

Why did Wednesday lie. Alba and Gavin I be glad when the truth comes out. I want Jonaya and Nusef wild shelves to get it together. Roscoe a dead beat. YiKayla I didn't she would be the first. Dree is boujee and a gold digger Canyon truly love her. Sean is gonna turn watch. Waayil is sexy. His assistant she just don't have any boundaries I guess Waayil find out what Wednesday did in Part 2

Nice very nice

This series is gonna be lit. Wednesday need her ass beat for that lie she did. And Dree don’t knots what she want. I’m glad my girl got herself together and her man. Shudd Gaven Act like something right with him and the way he’s acting. I hope baby girl start with E and he better treat her right. Laying here relaxing and sipping on Pepsi and eating popcorn while waiting on the next book to read

That ending though!!

Wednesday needs to explain herself real quick and fast before she gets her a** beat!! I like Waayil and Kay together. Idk why she continued to give a lame like Reese the time of day whe he constantly showed her that he wasn't ready to be a family. Rori is really naive to Gavin and his BS. Crazy part is him messing with Alba's sneaky butt. I really don't care for Dree and her bougie attitude overall. I cannot wait for part 2

Ooooh, another good one.

I typically don’t like to read books where there are several couples because it’s usually too much to keep up with. However, Shvonne Latrice has done an exceptional job of introducing each character to us. She takes her in revealing each layer of her characters. So far Nusef is my favorite. It is definitely a good book and I’m excited about reading this series.

These four sisters are something else. Each has their own drama and they all stepping out. The men doing too be same also. Their mother is simpleton and very disrespectful in her husband’s house. I wonder if her husband be blatantly cheating like the wife.

Dree and Jo are my two least favorite of the sisters. Dree too materialistic and she will be getting a rude awakening.

The ending was like hmmm and will have dire consequences.

😩😳

This was a good book even though it had me on edge the entire time lol. Too many twists and turns and I had me ready to throw my book lol. The ending is even more crazier and I can’t wait to hear the explanation behind this even though I have a feeling why Wednesday lied. I also want Nusif and his bestie to stop playing and get together. And Dree is making me mad. I have a feeling her decision is going to bite her in the a$$

Whatttttt!!!!

Now that's some foul shyt!! If Waaylil ever find out Wednesday lied about being raped, it's gonna gut him. He lost years of his life behind bars. That's so foul. I really want Jonaya to stop fronting and go on and be with Nusef. She knows she loves him just as much as he loves her. Ion know how I feel about Drea but I think something is up with Sean. I'm just sick of Alba and her lies. I can't wait until the find out who that baby pappy is.💟💟
