What a beautiful yet eccentric way to express emotions through fictional characters. This novel was a lyrical combination of storytelling and poetry. The writing style was very different than what I’m used to. Lots of fragmented sentences and short paragraphs. But because there were sections that contained poetry I got through this rather quickly.
The novel follows the life of 3 sisters now orphaned after losing their last living parent. Hurt that it seemed nobody wanted to take them in until their mothers brother shows up to save the day. Assuming this would be a good option for them. They soon realize living with their uncle may not be what they expected after all.
Placed into an apartment basically to fend for themselves. While their uncle chose when and how he’d take care of them. Which was rarely ever yet he lived comfortably at their expense. The uncle really irked my nerves because he was mean, controlling, abusive, selfish, and uncaring. Basically taking the girls in was for his own financial gain.
Of all the sisters I felt Kausar got the worst experience being the youngest. No parental guidance caused them all to rely on each other. But that also started to form a wall between them as they struggled through the problems they were facing. Days with no food,
clean clothing, or basic necessities. It’s hard to stick together when you’re struggling to survive.
The author covered some heavy topics from self-discovery, family, gender, depression, identity, physical and emotional abuse, childhood trauma, and sexual assault.
Apart from it seeming to be rushed the ending seemed a bit off with the timeline jump. After reading about such a traumatic experience. The author tried ending on a lighter note but I don’t really see the upside to everything that occurred. I kind of want to know what the author’s intentions were with this. Can’t really say if this one is worth recommending. Not that it’s a bad story but I wasn’t left 100% satisfied.

First let me say I overly enjoyed this book. It was engaging and heartfelt. An authentic story of family, love and loss. Tracy Brown did her thing with this one. I literally went through a whirlwind of emotions reading this book. Not gone lie it left me in my feelings baaaaaad.. But that’s just how good it was to me. I became so emotionally invested with all of the characters.
The weight this book carries overpowered any flaw or negative review I found. She gave us a REEEAL urban fiction novel. Nothing about this was hyperrealistic like most urban novels we come across. I could vividly envision everything that was happening. It felt real and believable. I CRIED!!! 2nd book that ever got me lol. Just think about your favorite black movie (Juice, Fresh, New Jack City, Menace II Society etc.) I could see Hold You Down in the mix.
What I loved most was that it wasn’t predictable every action was followed up with a reaction or consequence. All of the characters experienced some type of grief, pain, loss, or repercussion for their actions. Which it taught them all a different life lesson.
Once Lenox was gone everything slowly began to fall apart. Was she at fault for what happened? Partially!!! They all played a role in how their lives turned out.
I don’t know who my heart ached for the most Judah or Mercy. He and his mom were always trying to do the right thing and right by everyone. Then his future was taken away by a split second action. That same day Mercy died inside.
Overall this was an amazing read and I highly recommend!!! All stories aren’t meant to have happy endings. . . . But this READ IT.

Everyday I find another reason why I should read fantasy books more. This debut novel was definitely a wild story filled with lots of magic, intergenerational curses, mystery, betrayal, and history. A world where everyone wants power and will stop at nothing to gain control. New Orleans was the perfect setting for this magical story to unfold.
We get the POV of multiple characters which gave us a broader perspective on what’s happening and why.
Nearly 30 years ago the throne was stolen from their family. Now it’s up to Cris and Clem to help restore power and clear their grandmothers name. Their mission is initially hindered because of missing pieces of information and secrets. But that doesn’t stop them from uncovering the truth.
The MC’s Clem and Cris were my fav although they were twins their personalities were different and I loved getting to know them both individually. Cris was the independent and ambitious one while her brother Clem was more of a lover and protector. We get to witness the typical brother and sister feud. But when it came to getting justice for their family they had each others back.
The author covered a lot of topics from racism, family secrets, violence, revenge, murder, love and grief.
Overall this was a pretty decent read and I’m all for anything involving magic. I wasn’t expecting it to end the way it did but definitely looking forward to what’s to come. Representation was EVERYTHING!!!!

This wasn’t a personal fav of mine for various reasons but it was easy to get through. The premise was interesting but I didn’t really connect with the MC. Part of that was due to the story itself being a bit confusing. Those timeline jumps do it every time for me. I feel like if we’re going into the past then make it make sense. There needs to be a reason this was placed into the story.
A few of the timeline jumps only made sense because it answered questions about why certain things were happening. Like how Amelie ended up married to Ned. The reasoning behind it occurring and the events that followed were a little over the top.
I was also a little annoyed with the timeline jumps because I don’t necessarily want to be told verbatim why something is happening. Build the suspense by giving us clues we can piece together then by the end of the story have the “Ohhhh okay” I see why this happened moment. Shock me!!! I didn’t really get that with this. Honestly the story was bland.
The character development could’ve been better. I didn’t really connect or get attached to any of them.
Everything started off so well but by the middle I pretty much started to lose interest. The ending was rushed and just wrapped up everything.
This wasn’t the best thriller I’ve read but overall it was simply okay. So, I recommend you read at your own will!!!

It took me awhile to get through this book. Eve’s grief was endless and I felt there was no depth or progression to her character. But that also made me understand there’s no timeframe on how long grief will last and it’s not an exciting thing.
How can you overcome such a traumatic experience when you’re left with so many unanswered questions?
There’s nothing peaceful about death and the topics covered were so heavy. The writing was emotionally compelling to the point you literally experience every stage of grief with the MC.
Her husband did the unimaginable committing suicide. How can she get past this? How will she go on without him? Is there something she could’ve done to prevent it? These are the questions Eve tortured herself with from the day she found Q’s body. Then she lost her job, had to deal with the mother-in-law from hell, and overly supportive friends and family. While still dealing with the worst situation anyone could endure. Yet somehow she eventually found light at the end of the tunnel.
Now her mother-in-law Aspen really irked my nerves. The fact she blamed Eve for the loss of her son was beyond me. I doubt I could’ve held my tongue the way Eve did with her because she was definitely pushing it.
When Aspen said “Did you find the facilities, dear? You were gone so long I thought someone had mistaken you for the help and dragged you off into the kitchen or something!” That would’ve been the last straw. Not sure if I could marry someone whose parents don’t accept me. Let alone make remarks as such and you don’t say anything to defend me. But Eve and Q were happy together so Eve said. I don’t know if I really felt that from the stories Eve would reminisce over.
Favorite Quotes:
“What is love if it misses that which drags your husband beneath the surface, never to be rescued?”
“People think because you have cried in their presence they have witnessed real grief.”
“Grief is not neat. Pain is not dignified. Both are ugly, visceral things.”
By the end of the novel Eve does experience some form of acceptance. Did she ever get past losing Q? Of course not. But she did however experience another life changing event that I feel helped her cope with the loss.
Overall this was an okay read the only downside for me was there was no explanation as to why her husband committed suicide. But that also leads me to say this though. Had Eve found a note or was given a reason as to why he did it. Would that have really made a difference?

The hype surrounding this book was definitely REAL because Kennedy Ryan GAVE IT. I LOOOOOVED everything about it from the rekindling, love, growth, trial and error, the second chance. We basically get a front row seat to the “What happens after a divorce.” How it affects both parties involved including the children. I mean the author captured and executed everything effortlessly.
What I liked most was that neither Yasmen nor Josiah were perfect. But everyone could see what they had was special. They were flawed in many ways which gave an authentic feel to both their characters. I loved the vulnerability and ownership they both took in the situation. Her regretting the divorce and him showing remorse for not being there when she needed him.
Knowing what lead up to their divorce was heartbreaking. After experiencing so many devastating losses and struggling with grief their marriage started to lack communication. Yasmen wasn’t in the right headspace when she made the decision to divorce and Josiah didn’t fight hard enough to prevent it.
While separated they did a wonderful job with co-parenting, running a business, and just being cordial with each other in general. That’s not something commonly seen after a divorce.
But through all of their trauma, grief, and pain something changed in them both. GROWTH, MATURITY & ACCOUNTABILITY!!! With everything that occurred time apart seemed like the worse idea but in actuality it made their bond stronger.
I could go on and on about how amazing this book was to me. All of the characters were lovable especially Yasmen’s friends. I liked how the author never physically described any of the characters distinctly in detail. Yet I was able to envision them all vividly.
TW: Depression, divorce, stillbirth, mentions of suicide
Do I recommend this book? Is that even a real question at this point . . . . . Of course I do!!! If you haven’t read it read it then tell a friend to do the same. It’s definitely worth it.

This was an interesting read. I didn’t really know what to expect going into it but I kind of enjoyed it. Not sure what I found crazier the sister Ayoola actually being a serial killer or the fact Korede kept running to her rescue and feeling obligated to protect her.
In my opinion Korede was a bit gullible when it came to her sister. Ayoola was careless, wreckless, and definitely a user. She showed no remorse for the things she did. I’m not saying she was a gold digger but she was for sure an opportunist. She took advantage of the fact Korede was her older sister and knew she’d do anything for her.
Ayoola made mistake after mistake and nothing was ever held against her. Then after murdering her third boyfriend Korede ran to her rescue again ready to clean up Ayoola’s mess. Only this time Korede got herself into something she almost couldn’t get either of them out of.
What I still can’t understand is why Ayoola was murdering the men she dated in the first place. Could’ve been due to the poor relationship they had with their father or maybe she was just a serial psychopath. I just want to know the motive because all she told Korede each time was that it was self defense. One time maybe but three?
She was enjoying it a little too much and Korede was her unintentional accomplice even though she knew it wasn’t morally right. That was until the guy Korede had a crush on wanted to date Ayoola. Now her sisters murder streak was too much to bear when her crush was in the mix.
Overall this was a quick read I can’t say much without giving it all away. But its a really short book and held my attention. So, I recommend‼️

I looooooved everything about this book!!! Who doesn’t love a story about friends finally confessing their love for each other. This was like a modern day Cinderella story centered around music and a rekindled friendship.
I don’t even know where to begin. The character development was great I loved them all. Aunt Edith was funny, her foster parents were very supportive. Her friends were awesome and very diverse. Dylan and Legend were my favorite of course. Both now from different worlds with him being a famous R&B artist and her just a normal hometown girl. This wasn’t your typical YA love story. Everything about their relationship and interactions were so authentic.
Legend’s presence took Dylan out of this safe shell she created for herself. But she also showed him what it was like to really enjoy the simpler things in life.
Favorite Quote: “Never settle for less than what you deserve.”
Funny Moment: pg.169 Dylan’s family attending a black church for the first time.
The epilogue was the perfect ending to such a magical love story. It had me all emotional. Their fairytale moment was just so cuuuuute and sweet.
I recommend this book and I’m 100% sure you won’t regret reading it either. Look at me becoming a YA fan though. I definitely plan on reading more by this author.

This book was a bit interesting it featured 3 separate stories following three different characters Suzette, Maple, and Agnes. I think I would’ve enjoyed the book more had it been focused on one character.
I enjoyed “Drive” the most because Suzette was kind of feisty yet filled with so much curiosity. But I’d question everything too if I were sheltered most of my life. Her parents were controlling especially the father. He used gifts as a form of persuasion. If it weren’t for those on the outside looking in Suzette probably would’ve never peeped game. Eventually she wanted and needed more freedom and independence than her parents would allow. Experiencing things you’ve never seen or done before will do that to you. Now her mama threw me for a loop when she flipped out about that car. Cause ma’am we were just cool where is this animosity coming from.
“Bottled Water” was also okay I liked Maple’s character. After her mother was murdered and her judgmental grandmother started tripping. Maple needed to get away from it all. Dealing with her mother’s unsolved murder and the constant reminder of who her mother was. How could she really grieve? In the midst of trying to find her way she met a guy who helped her come to terms with her grief. But I think they kind of helped each other.
“Mind the Prompt” can’t really say I liked this story much. It was just something about it that I didn’t connect with and it fell a bit flat. Agnes and the decisions she made were very questionable.

This was a pretty easy read and although I enjoyed the premise. The book was kind of predictable. It started out well, got a tad boring, then the ending turned out exactly like I expected.
Indigo was about to turn 30 when the pressures of being single started to weigh on her heavily. Everyone around her including her family were more concerned with her not having a man than she was. Soon the pressure from her family in regards to her loneliness made Indigo feel it was time to date again. She was already happy, successful, and independent but now she needed to seal the deal with a man she could start a family and build a life with.
Her choice of men weren’t so great. Nathan seemed nice until he mentioned his addiction. At that point Indigo was ready to run in the other direction. He actually seemed boring compared to Diego so I can see why she didn’t think things would work between the two.
Can we just say I didn’t like Diego from the start though. The whole open relationship thing and him not feeling the need to tell her he had a girlfriend or shall we say girlfriends. I couldn’t understand what she saw in him because he was rude, nonchalant, and a little too carefree for my taste.
Now I knew how things would play out between her and Tate from the beginning. Going from childhood friends to lovers only for Indigo to end things between the two over a kept secret. You could tell they both still had feelings for each other and had some unresolved issues from the past. Especially with how Tate’s attitude changed up when it came to Indigo dating again. It was the dead giveaway and they both annoyed me. Just confess how y’all feel already.
I did have mixed feelings about the ending and what lead up to it. None of the guys were good picks except Tate and I really didn’t like him. The book was kind of meh doesn’t really excite or shock you much with anything that occurred. But overall it was just okay I probably would’ve had different feelings had things not been predictable.
