I just want to say that I didnt want this book to end. I wanted the crazy ride to continue. Brooklyn is probably the most unlikeable character in any book that Ive read. I disliked her so much! You know a book is well written when you dislike someone that aint even real. This is my second book by this author and tbh, im not surprised at how good this book was! Shes very talented. Coming to the end of this book made me really sad because I know this will be the last book by her. 🥺 
 
In the beginning of this book until midway, i was feeling sorry for Brooklyn but then I started to see all the selfish stuff she did. The only person she cared about was herself. I do think her mom is alot to blame though because in the beginning of the book her mom went about things in the worst way. Brooklyn needed her mom and she didnt come through. But ultimately Brooklyn made her bed, so she had to lie in it. 
 
She did so many people dirty in this book. I wanted to jump through the pages and knock some sense into her. How can one person be so selfish? Stacey and Hassan were two of my favorite characters in the book. True definition of ride or die friends! But that didnt last long. Whew! Yall have to read this book when it comes out. I cant wait to buy this. It needs to be framed. These characters and the events that happened in this book will forever be embedded in my head 😩This was a masterpiece fr!  RIP TRACY!!!
