I Give You...Me: Unapologetically Free by Kyeate

challenging emotional informative inspiring reflective tense medium-paced

4.0

I resonate with Kyeate a lot in this memoir. Life is about growth. Gems was dropped and she was vulnerable and honest about what she went through. NO ONE is perfect.

Ngl I didn’t see much of a chemistry between No’Elle and Gabriel. It seem forced. But this was a short cute christmas story.

This was all over the place. I was literally confused and didnt know wtf was going on. Different characters kept coming up. It kept jumping from scene to scene and I can’t get over how bad the editing is. It also leaves on a cliffhanger with no follow up.

This was all over the place and the editing of this was bad. This could’ve had so much potential and it ends on a cliffhanger with no follow up.

5.0

From reading about the kids in the previous books we already know what happened but to actually see how everything went down was heartbreaking. I really feel like I lost family members. I literally felt sorrow 😔😫. All I kept saying while reading is “WHY”. Ego and Pride in a man can be such a downfall. Sometimes it’s okay to just walk away. Now your kids growing up without you because of the selfish decisions you made smh. So much happened in this book. A lot had transpired and it was a lot of transitions. 

Wheewww!!!! This was so good but it was also heart-wrenching to see how everything and everybody turned out. Tryna see how the last book going to turn out.
