I'll start by saying this book could've done without the first 200 plus pages. In all honesty, this book did not start "getting good" until 78%. Yes, I am serious. I made sure I noted it. So the first 80% of the book is a bunch of back and forth between Camille and Ahmad who recently split due to Ahmad's lengthy prison sentence. The author takes the reader through the trials of Camille's love life but we could have done without them. The story about Jamel was completely predictable and the others were irrelevant. Perhaps the author was trying to show us there was no love like Ahmad's for Camille...*shrugs*At times the story was a little unbelievable, like Scorpio taking revenge on Ross for what he did to Camille when he hadn't even seen her in a year and they never hooked up. Also, the whole Natasha and Ahmad situation...um yea. Has to be the author's own fantasy. There were grammatical errors on every page (i.e Think instead of thing) but not too bad that it took away from the story. Everyone seems to not like Scorpio...call me crazy but hes my favorite. He's no different than Ahmad and Shakir, they all sell drugs, and they all crossed someone to get more (whether it's more money or power, the motive was greed). He seems like he's down for Camille and I'm kind of hoping they last. I'm curious to read part two to see what happens with Camille and her new drug habit, India and her new baby... Is Maurice going to get it together? Is Ahmad going to make it out early? Is Shakir going to find out about Gia and if so what is he going to do about it? This wasn't a page turner but it was still enjoyable. Was it worth $3.00? ...I'd suggest borrowing it first.
