Review: Fight Hard, Love Harder
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 06 19, 2014
Paris is a caramel skinned 5th ward chick with long hair, perky breasts, and okay butt. What sets her apart from the rest, aside from her beauty, is her fashion sense and book smarts. Jay Rock aka Jeremy, is a local hustler who messes around with boppers but has no intention of settling down. Bee is also a hustler but on a much smaller scale. What he lacks in looks he most definitely makes up for in swag. Kiara has a bulldog face with an hourglass shape and is known around for her "special skills." Six degrees of separation at its finest here! Everyone is connected somehow, whether they're an ex, a side chick, a wifey, or...just something to do. Paris, what can I say. I had a love/hate relationship with her. She was feisty but also a bully. A selfish manipulator who used tears, lies, and sex to get her way. I liked how instead of focusing on the man always cheating, she touched on the subject of female infedelity as well. With its ups and downs, cheating, drag out fights (literally), and HOT HOT HOT sex scenes the relationship between Paris and Jay Rock is FIRE. There is an authenticity in their relationship which I'm sure most people can relate. There are issues of domestic abuse which I think is an important subject to touch on. Thank God for the men's mamas in these books! They're always there to give sound advice. My favorite part was the block party. Characters from all of her books; Tino, Kevin, Raven, Raquel, Jahrein, Tae, Keisha and Joe made an appearance! These 5th ward chicks don't play and it was an all out brawl that was so detailed I could picture the whole thing. CTTB is STILL my favorite book by Ms. Jackson but this is definitely a close second. Just one little thing: When is these chicks ObamaCare going to kick in so they can PUH-LEASE get some D birth control?! PLEASE!
