5.0

Very different from The Crossover and Booked. Blade, this book's protagonist, seems to have it all: son of rock 'n roll royalty, money, a bright future ahead. When the book begins we see him struggling to understand his father's alcoholism, his mother's death, his sister's coping mechanisms, and his relationship with Chapel, his girlfriend and the love of his life. Blade soon realized that his life's foundation is really a house of cards and he decides to embark on a journey of discovery to see who he really is without the people that have surrounded him his whole life.
