I have never read a book by this author, so I was excited to see what this book was about. Whoa, let me tell you I wasn’t expecting this book to be as good as it was. This book has you thinking about life and the games that people play. But trust me the end doesn’t happen like I thought it would. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Trust me there is more that I wanted to say about this book, but just know it’s a great read and you won’t be disappointed.

This book was heavy. It was a lot to take in. To know what was taking place and how much all we wanted was to be equal. That’s a lot to take in. You want the right to vote, sit at a lunch counter, and be served. Knowing that people didn’t see us as humans, well that hurt. This book was deep and heavy for me.

This is my first time reading a book by this author. At first, I’m not gonna lie I didn’t want to read about the typical black kid who gets locked up and that’s the end of the story for him. But the story doesn’t go as I thought that it would and I’m glad about it. Check out my review.

What happens when your dad get’s arrested and you feel like you have no one on your side? Your mom’s boyfriend doesn’t want you around because your not his son. And the only friend that you have goes off to private school? You make another family with people you think care about you. But then a cop get’s shot and you take the blame for something you didn’t do. Who cares about you now?

I gave this book 5 stars because the lessons and the level of care that this author had for her characters was amazing. You should check this book out.

I haven’t found a Chevy Stevens book that I don’t like. This book had me on an emotional roller coaster. This book is about a woman who marries a man who has some issues. He becomes controlling. So she plans her escape. The escape was successful until she finds out that her husband has killed somebody. But that’s not the worse part. How much of your past do you tell? Is the truth really that bad? I gave this book 5 stars.

I had the honor to read this book in advance. Let  tell you this book was powerful. There are so many issues that black family’s don’t address. And this book told the story about a family who has issues and was able to heal from past hurts. This book is a true light in the black family. I gave this book 5 stars.

This is the first time I’ve read a book by this author. I will say that this book was very good. It had plenty of plots, twist and turns. This book is about a young lady who starts dating someone from a wealthy family. She wants a love story just like her parents. But when she meets her finance best friend she knows she’s with the wrong man. But she finds out that her best friend is dating her future father in law. And the day of the wedding the bride finds her best friend dead. Why would someone want to kill her?

I love this book because it goes beyond the typical self help books about marriage. You take a quiz at the beginning of this book. And it helps you with the things that you can do for your spouse. The quiz helps you find out what qualities you like in your spouse and how to do more of what they like. In a marriage it’s a give and take and this book has opened my eyes to things that I can do more of in my marriage. It has taught me to speak up more about what I like and want more of.
