Another excellent book from Nia Forrester.  She continues to amaze me with her exceptional storytelling, and characters who you can't help but love, and who seem to stay with you well after the story has ended.Keisha, Keisha, Keisha.  Like everyone else, I couldn't stand her in Committment. Then I read Mistress, and saw a whole 'nother side to her, which thawed out my ice cold heart. But in this book, I absolutely loved her! In Mistress, it was clear that Keisha and Jayson were both damaged and flawed, but I think I missed how immature they both were, especially Jayson. We see it in this book, but we also see a LOT of growth in both characters. Awesome job, Nia! It was really nice to see the reunions and reconciliations with Jay's cousin and the ex-girlfriend. I also was happy to see Jay being embraced by his friends and community, especially since he assumed that they had turned their backs on him.And now on to Fiona. Whew, she was a piece of work! I kinda felt sorry for her in the beginning, because she was so into Jayson (rather, her old memories of Jayson. And how hadsome he is. And his sex game, lol), but then she just slowly went off the deep end. My mouth was hanging wide open during (and after) that encounter with Bridgette, but I was still thinking things were kinda okay with her, she was just in over her head with Jay. Then Bridgette told Jay how she used to act in high school. THEN, when she went to Chloe's house on New Years and showed all of her ass, I was pretty sure she was off her rocker. But she didn't stop there. She had to confirm for us, without a shadow of a doubt, that she was freakin' nuts! I'm now wondering if she's gonna try her hand again in the next book.Mr. Marcus, who I side-eyed pretty much through the whole book, was pretty spot on with his observations about Keisha and Jay's relationship. They DO act a lot like high school kids, and while it would be nice if they had to time to grow as individuals, they're too entrenched in each other, and are gonna have to get through this relationship the best way they can (I'm hoping, at least).  Can't wait to see what the next book holds for them. I'm gonna be watching Marcus, because I'm sure he's gonna be creating havoc in his own special way.Now, if you're reading this review and you either haven't read anything by this author, or you're unsure about buying and reading this book, please get your life! You are missing out on some VERY good reading. I've read all of her books, and I have yet to be disappointed.Thanks so much for sharing your gift with us, Nia!
