the storyline is tired, and the characters are extremely unlikeable, and very cliche. not sure how this book is about black women being exhausted when the main character was living a fairly soft life LOL

This starts out as being ALOT. I wasn’t really sure where we were going or if I could handle all of the drama that started from page 1. So I actually had to put the book down for a few days. But it got so much better! Tabitha definitely made me want to yell at her several times during the book but I appreciated her character flaws - they were very realistic and authentic. I did feel exhausted reading some of the book, not because the author was doing too much but because the emotions were so raw and real and I can remember feeling this way as a black woman. The ending was a bit abrupt- I was hoping for more closer on Laila, Lexi and Marc but I guess I’ll have to wait for the next book. I won this ARC from the publisher in a Goodreads giveaway ☺️
