As you know life happens and things change. Ivy decides to find a life outside of her baby daddy’s visitation schedule. Coco says to hell with the man she kept going back to. Deja gets a reality check and realizes she really doesn’t like the choices she made. And Nikki is there to lend a helping had to them all. 


The biggest lesson learned for all of them, was that being Black in America is the same no matter where you go, what you drive, or how much money you make. 

Though seeing the sisterhood still stand from beginning to end was a great thing. 

I think Mikey sister Patsy was just mad she didn’t have what the others were able to achieve for themselves as individuals. Yes, she snitched to her brother about Ivy’s new life. 

And Mikey himself pissed me off because he was controlling damn near everything from behind prison walls. 😭


The topics covered in this novel are a rare find in fiction - or at least for me. Self - Acceptance, Resilience, Setting Boundaries, Romantic Relationships, Sisterhood, Careers, and Racial Occurrences.
