One pager- Book Review
The name of the book that I read is called I’m still Wifey by Kiki Swinson. This book is about a girl named Kira who is dealing with her soon to be divorced husband Ricky who is in jail. While she’s trying to get him to sign the divorce papers, she’s trying to get revenge on her ex boyfriend who stole all of her money. Mean while, she’s pregnant with Ricky’s baby but nobody but her favorite cousin Nikki knows. As Kira is trying to payback everyone who caused her trouble, she fails to realize that karma goes around and comes back two times harder.
This book leaves you on the edge of your seat and I promise it will leave you wanting more. This book revolves around violence, drugs, and relationships, but I’m sure you will be able to relate to the themes or the characters. Each character has their own unique characteristics. Roe example, the main character is Kira. She is very humble, but if you get on her bad side, she’s like a 5.0 earthquake. “I hit her with hand because I wanted to leave the imprint of the huge rocks in my wedding ring on her face. This ended up becoming a beautiful sight as I watched the blood pour down her face.” (12) This is an example of Kira’s bad side. Through out the book, Kiki Swinson show’s how Kira changes her personality and it leaves the reader with a whole lot of questions.
Kiki Swinson also uses a lot of descriptive details and imagery in this book. This attracts the reader and it attracted me. It makes you feel that you’re right there in the scene. You can se everything in your head and it makes the story easier to understand. “Then seconds later, a very attractive light skinned, nicely shaped woman with long hair hopped out of the driver side like she was mad at the world. Immediately after she slammed her door, the passenger side door opened up and fate reared its ugly face.” (185) This is an example of the descriptive details and imagery that Kiki Swinson uses. I can actually imagine the way the light skinned girl’s face looked. This is a good skill because it makes the book and the scene interesting. The descriptive details explain the moment and the imagery shows the reader in stead of just telling.
I believe that every book has a genre. The genre for this book is drama. Kiki Swinson uses a lot of problems that usually happen in a rock relationship. For example, Ricky is Russell’s best friend, and Kira is pregnant by Russell. This is an aspect of drama because Ricky doesn’t know that his soon to be divorced wife is pregnant with his best friend Russell’s baby. I also believe that the genre of this book is drama because of the theme’s that this book portrays. One theme of this book is drugs. Drugs usually cause drama and this is why Ricky is in jail.
I love the books writing style. I say this because the author didn’t just rush through each scene. She took time to explain it and she wrote from two points of view. Through out the book, Kiki Swinson goes back and forth with Ricky's point of view and Kira’s point of view. For example in chapter 2, titled “Choice to Make,” Kiki Swinson is telling the story from Kira’s point of view. In chapter 3, titled “After Mail Call,” the author is telling the story from Ricky’s point of view. I think this writing style is interesting because it’s like we have the best of both worlds. We get to see how both of the main characters feel.
Overall, I believe that this book is outstanding. I would give this book four stars because it discusses the three elements that I feel make up drama. These elements are violence, drugs, and relationships. While you are reading this book, some things will excite you, some things may not, but either way, you will be satisfied! I would recommend this book to anybody who loves Kiki Swinson’s books and anybody who read “Wifey.” This is the name of the book that came out before “I’m Still Wifey.” This is a saga and the book after “I’m Still Wifey” is called “Life after Wifey.” I’m going to read this book next! I’m addicted!!

I love how Kira stood up for herself in this book but it seems to me that she really didn't learn anything from her previous experiences. This book was a bit predictable but great nonetheless. The drama was turned on high and was non stop! I loved it! The author left us with many unanswered questions but I'm okay with that since I know she will most likely clear everything up in her next installment of this series. My main complaint about part 1, "Wifey" was that the narration and dialogue was e...more

Being betrayed by your own wife,that's suppose to hold on you when hard times come.It even got to the point that your husband wanted to put an hit on you and your family. Because of the dumb ass decision you made to get revenge on him. But everything start going down heel when one person start to tell the truth about you.So now you stick and don't know what to do.So get ready for an awesome adventure.

It's ten clocking in the morning and Kira's head is racing on what she should do about her situation.Should she gone had skip town or just face the fact that she have to help her husband out this one time. But Kira feel different.She's looking at the phone thinking should she pick the phone up or not.As the phone keep ringing Kira is thinking bout her cousin Nikki and what she said early in their convention.Now her action are catching up with her.

Kira a young lady from Virginia, has a lot going and she barely handle the pressure. Kira has a husband name Ricky that's a drug-lord and that is now looking at life sentence and maybe end of dead during his time. Kira really don't want to have anything to do with Ricky because he had slept around on her with one of her stylist Sunshine. By getting revenge on her husband, she slept with her husband's best friend Russ. But that when all down heel when Russ had robbed Kira for three hundred thousands dollars and now she pregnant by Russ.

Kiki Swinson is author that like to take things to the next level.She make you feel that you are part of the book. Kiki uses details that make you read the next series of I'm Still Wifey. The examples Kiki uses is Kira's husband was trying to hire somebody to kill her and where she live, and how they wanted her killed. Ricky was having affair with the C.O Lena and how far their relationship got.Ricky was paying Lena to bring in food and cocaine from the outside.But Lena felt that Ricky took it to far when he wanted her to finish off Ricky's hit.

So the conclusion of this book that everyone is not loyal to the game. They weather have riches then having support and love.But at the end of the day people look out for their selves then their love ones and their safety.

I think KiKi Swinson is an awesome writer. Her words aren't big and huge. (where for to thy for LOL) She short and sweet and quick to the point. She writes for African Americans, especially for the ones that get overlooked...She writes to someone that can relate to her work. (ME) It feels good to know that someone cares enough to mix the game up a little, to reach a hoodstar. I know first hand at what she is writing about. She doesn't write to fast, her sentences are slow paced and her themes ke...more

I read this book in three days. This ia a great book to read if you like alot of action or supense. The thing the most I learned about this book is that karma is real. When you do mean things to others it will come back and bit you in the butt you will never know when. So it dosn't pay to do wrong because it will follow you, and then catch up.

To summarize this book the theme of the story is payback is a bitch. The setting of the story in the late 1980's and early 1990's when the drug sence was p...more

I would have given this one 4 stars but I just can't get over all the mistakes. KiKi Swinson needs a PROOF READER like last year!!!You may write ghetto books but you don't want to handle your business like you live next door to Rickey's baby mother!!! I digress....

This author did however step up her writing skills.This book was alot more exciting than the first.Still not "read it all in one night" material. But I was gracious and gave 4 stars.

This book was a good book to read because there was always something happening after another. Kira was always getting betrayed by someone she knew and even though shes been through so much she was always finding a way to be happy. Kira's lover mike was killed and she eventually found out it was by her cousins boyfriend, and then papi who is the head dealer eventually had kira killed because she knew too much.

Great book! I can't wait to start reading the next book in the series. Kira can't be dead. I think Russ and Ricky got what they deserved. It amazes me how people know the rules of the streets, but they still break them thinking they will supercede the consequences.

This is the second book in the Wifey series, and I liked it just as much as I did the first. Once again there is alot of drama and that kept it interesting until the end. Kira is a trip and she is continually scheming on someone, but karma always comes back at you somehow when you least expect it. Ricky is locked up and still being shady, just like before. The ending was somewhat of a surprise and I couldn't wait to get started on the next book, Life After Wifey.
