Review: A mess

The story is dynamic and non-stop action, but the plot, characters, and editing are a mess.This is pretty much a generic urban fiction story with all the elements that you'd expect -- cheating, drama, gun play, violence, turning tricks, STDs, shopping sprees, and gang violence.  The unusual element is that one of the women keeps a journal.  We're teased at the beginning of the story about this journal playing a role in the plot, but it really isn't that much of a big deal.  And since she tends to write about things the reader already knows, it's a bit dull.There are so many characters in this book.  They're introduced really quickly and, unlike some authors who have the skill to pull off large casts, Platinum doesn't do a great job of differentiating them from one another.  There's the really bad girl and all the other girls.The editing, as is all too common in the genre, is pretty terrible.There are some flashes of interest here, but it's just too rough to spend money on.
