Trust No Nigga by Tamika Newhouse ♥♥♥♥  (SEMI-SPOILER REVIEW)Trust No Nigga, is about three friends: Jade, Sheena and Monique, who all met years ago in college. Each woman is dealing with her own personal relationship dilemma.Jade: is madly in love with Eddie, a`d' boy, known to the streets as Easy. Problem, Easy has a hard time keeping his privates home. Sheena: breaks one of her own rules, and starts dating Paul, a`d' boy, known to all as Dunts. Yet, when he deceives her, she decided to; silently play the same game better than he does. Monique: is stuck in between two opposite worlds. Instead of her man Cory discouraging his woman from living a degrading way of life, he finds pleasure in his pimp daddy lifestyle.These men cheat, run the streets, pimp out other women, and do not forget their illegal side hustle; then after they done did their dirt, they go home and wanna play house; (... Excuse my grammar ...) ain't that some mess. Some will say `How could highly educated women deal with men in this caliber? How could any woman, regardless of scholastic background allow men to continue to degrade them?' These women are `Stupid,' `Dumb,' `Nave,' and, you are correct. In the words of - - The Main Ingredient: "Everybody plays the fool, sometime ..." Question is, how long will these women subject themselves to been hoodwink by these men.Still, beyond their issues with the men in their lives, `Jade, Sheena and Monique' have a tight bond; they are each other's shoulder to cry on; the friends you call when you need to vent, the women who easily put a smile on your face. But, what happens, when their friendship with each other and the relationships with their men are put through a major test at the same time; the results, someone is about to be flunked.Jade, Monique and Sheena each tells the story from their viewpoint. In addition, a few chapters from Dunts standpoint. The character development seemed hurried, but still in all, nicely done base on the page length. In regards to editing, there were moments were the adjustment of tense is not properly noted. A character would be in her or his own thoughts that related back to the past; other than spacing, they were no written indications, (that I recall), that move the past thought into the current. In no means, did it bother me, or take away from the story, however just wanted to make a note for others.Cannot wait for Part 2! Ms. Tamika Newhouse, I am going to go ahead and rename the title if you do not mind to, Trust No Nigga & a B***!
