Review: Don't Assume To Know Her Story
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 09 1, 2013
After reading "Commitment" many, rather all of Nia's readers did not like Keisha.  So when I saw that Keisha had a book dedicated to her I damn near flipped.  Tricks and mistress are not entitled to more than 15 minutes of fame.  I always caution people on being too judgmental but with Keisha it was "almost" impossible not to be. I knew Nia could do the impossible but was curious as to how.  The impossible was humanizing Keisha to sympathize with her and I was feeling this way from the beginning of the book. Nia is good at creating flawed characters and then intricately remove those layers to find the source of their pain and leave them bare to begin the healing. Keisha, do I love her? No,  Do I like her? Maybe, Do I want to hear from her again? Yes I would like to know where's she's headed as long as its nowhere near Riley and Shawn. The one thing I will reveal is that Keisha's story takes place 5 years after Shawn, which made it easier to really pay to her life instead of anticipating that incident.
