I can’t say this enough I have yet to read a book by Tracy that I didn’t love‼️ I thought Brooklyn was a nerve racking character but Jada officially got her beat. Her drug addiction was so bad and she was so young she had me stressed. Then Mr.Charlie I HATED him. Idk who was worse him or her babydaddy.
Her mama wasn’t a real mother to her or her sister Ava. She was a major part of why Jada turned out the way she did and Ava ended up in a group home. Then just when I thought Jada got her life together after meeting Born everything was up in shambles again. Having access to the finer things in life and a man that would give her the world wasn’t enough to keep her from relapsing. Jada really had to lose everything and hit rock bottom before she finally got her life back on track.
Overall, I enjoyed the book Tracy always delivers with the complex characters, authenticity, and street ish. She’s one of the few authors that can make me love, hate, and sympathize with a character all at the same time. My only downside with this one was I felt it dragged a bit. Definitely could’ve been 100 pages shorter but the drama kept me invested so I still recommend. Can’t wait to see what more this series has in store for Jada.
