Winter is back!!! This bad ass, selfish bitch is back to being her shallow self and honestly, as terrible of a character that she is, I breathed a sigh of relief that she wasn’t spouting religious nonsense. I feared that was the route Sister Souljah was going based on her last book which was a complete mess.
This book though was more of a redemption story. It basically follows Winter as she is trying to establish a fashion business and multimillion dollar empire. She has her own reality tv show where she is loved and adored by many of her fans and gets to live rent free in a beautiful villa thanks to her sister and her sister’s husband. Yet despite all that, she isn’t happy. Her old friends from Brooklyn are trifling (one of who attempted to kill her) and she desperately wants to have a man of her own to love and take care of her.
And while I enjoyed following Winter around once more, I can understand readers’ frustration with Sister Souljah’s writing. The book is disjointed in some parts and sometimes hard to follow. There were also a bunch of plot holes. I would sometimes excuse the lack of the information, knowing that our main character and narrator is Winter, but I still do wish that Sister Souljah expanded on some parts. And the ending was just horrible!
Overall though, I’m glad we got a better book but I still don’t feel that Sister Souljah is done with Winter’s story. I guess I’ll have to wait for the next book - 3 stars!

*HARD SIGH* This book was incredibly silly and disjointed. I'm not sure if Souljah is a genius for creating such a STUPID character that you love to hate, or a hack who fizzled after writing the urban fiction classic, "Coldest Winter Ever". I admittedly hate read this book, but if it had a glimmer of good storytelling I would have gladly given it a higher rating. Alas, this was not a good book. The two stars I gave it was generous...
Maybe you’re the type of reader who needs clarity, certainty, and things to be how they always are.
That’s not me.
The reason I loved this book and Sister Soulja’s writing style so much is because it speaks so deeply to my inner feelings and my depth as a woman. For the healed and unhealed, the spiritual and the godless. This book opens me up in so many ways that I never have been before.
Have you ever read a book that made you feel something you’ve never felt?
This book is real life. Maybe not for you, but everyone can say they know somebody. Regrettably I was a Winter, I knew a winter, but I’m healed and see the reality and depth of the her character and the life and lessons Sister Souljah placed in this book and all her books.
Sometimes I want Winter’s life, but mostly I realize that things are the way they are and then you die. Unless you change things…unless you be better.
But some of yall will never get that. And that’s why you didn’t like this book.

Disappointed. I loved all 6 books. She’s the same Winter that we’ve always known!

Sister Souljah needs to let the Winter Santiaga character go. There are many others in the Coldest Winter universe that are much more interesting, moving, and richer than Winter. Very frustrating to read a character who clearly needs psychiatric help and refuses.

😮💨 I’m glad Winter is doing the best she can. I’m grateful her sister and brother are looking out for her. It’s good seeing her father out and about. The show’s interrogations were a cool view of who done it seemed great. The previous book had me anticipating the bleakest of encounters… with the trigger words like change of power, obey, music ringtone selections, character names and so forth, I was on edge the whole book long.
