I've been putting off reading this book for who knows how long. I finally decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. It was well worth it! I wasn't sure I'd like the characters, but I was surprised that I did. The description made Rashad sound like a truly trifling individual because he was trying to have his cake & eat it too (which is a little trifling lol) but when he made up his mind about who he wanted, he stuck to it. Victor was quite the hothead, & rather immature, but not a naturally evil or bad person. Kevin was a bit of a nutbomb, if you ask me. One of the highlights of the book was the fight scene between Rashad and Darryl. Now Darryl truly was trifling! (but that's all I'll say!) The only thing I had a problem with was the fact that, since every chapter was being told from a character's POV, it was a little inconsistent when Vic was verbally speaking, sounding like he was from the hood, but the words in his head, usually to describe something, sometimes sounded like a professor's vocabulary. It was tolerable though. Finished it in 1 day, then bought part 2 so I could start as soon as I woke up the next day lol
