I'm so unsure about this book. Didn't hate it but didn't love it either....

First Natasha audiobook! I LOVED the expression of the narrators! Natasha always delivers with the gripping style of her writing, and the way it reflects the way the black community actually interacts and talks! THIS BOOK IS SPICY SPICY SPICY! Read with a water bottle nearby! 💦💦💦💦 There was plot with the spice, and I enjoyed the deeper themes of familial relationships that were explored!!!!! 

A good read

This book was pretty good. I found myself wanting to hurry and read what was happening next. The dialogue and conflict was one I haven’t really seen in a story so that was refreshing. I mean you’re the maid of honor at your sisters wedding to you ex?! Geesh, talk about family drama. I loved Rome. He had me the moment of the yatch and reading. I’m like sis a man that gives you this kind of luxury privacy to read?! Where do I find one lol? But Rome was very clear about his intentions and there was no miscommunication between him and Janelle which will always get me as I’m a sucker for clear adult communication. There was enough spice in the book as well. I appreciate the end and the main character not just automatically forgiving those who caused drama but instead reflecting on the hurt they caused and being sympathetic but also learning to love and put herself first. Side note i think it would be cool for this to become a series with the books as standalones series that focuses on the other friends in the group as they seem interesting.
