Main... LolThis book is crazy. I know that fiction can sometimes imitate life and this story is a perfect example of that. Some people may have serious problems with this story but I've seen some of this stuff happen in real life so I got the story. I didn't like the domestic violence or the constant infidelities and at some point I was feeling so horrified for the main female character Raven that I had to put the book down and get back to it later, but what I loved is even Raven knew what she was dealing with by the end of this story. It was her life the way she and Jahrein was raised, they both didn't have the best examples around them so it was as she said a vicious cycle of life. I had two problems with this story. I didn't like the fact that no one would truly listen to the way Raven felt it was like no one was in her corner, I also was tied up with a lot of the grammar in the book. I kept getting confused on how certain words were spelled and it took me a while to realize that it wasn't spell check mistakes but the twang of a southern or a Houstonian accent. I am from Brooklyn, NY so it took me a little to keep catching it. I still adored this book and read it again so that should tell you that I really enjoyed it. This was the second story I read for Ms. Jackson, but it was the one that made me purchase all the rest. Ms. Jackson is now officially on my authors to watch list.
