I'm going through a ghetto book phase. They all have the same basic set up... a high up dealer buying from Columbians, a sexy ex-hooker/stripper that's now the wifey, the right hand man and smaller runners. Diary of a Street Diva has the same premise but I have to give props for the ending. There are two twist that I didn't expect and for once I actually like the protagonist. Most of the time they are too ghetto and annoy me. I don't understand how these girls live with a man giving them $20,000...more
Untold Anecdote
Once upon a time not long ago there lived a little girl in Flint, Michigan by the name of Remy Morgan. Without help she was powerless and at an early age she was not use to people being decent. Abandoned, betrayed, molested, assaulted, then plainly thrown away, this poor dysfunctional child was suffering. Jammed up with so much shame and embarrassment Remy becomes an easy target in search of independency.

Turning Back the Hands of Time
Dear Diary,
Since the debut of Ashley Jaquavis' Dirty Money in 2005, I have been anxiously awaiting their sophomore novel. Dirty Money was an OOSA book of the month. Seldom do we all agree on a book, but we unanimously enjoyed it. Upon the release of Diary of a Street Diva, it was pretty much a given that it too would be an OOSA book of the month.

By the time she was 16, Remy left the foster home life for good and entered the "street life." First starting off as a dancer, Remy rises to the top by becoming the girlfriend of the top drug dealer and icon of Flint, Michigan, Khadafi.

This book is the epitome of an "easy read". It seemed to go by slowly although when I looked up I was already MORE than halfway done! A few major events happened to Remy but I was waiting and waiting for the climax of the book to appear, and it finally in the last little pinch of the book. (And I do mean PINCH) The last few chapters FLEW by after that and let me tell you my jaw was on the floor. I slammed the book down suddenly and yelled out "OH MY GOSH" several times at tha...more
Overall this book was great another great read from Ashley and JaQuavis.
The book was about this girl Remy's life. She died and her husband Cease is on trial for her murder. During the trial he comes across Remy's diary that she wrote about her life growing up from when she was a teenager living in a group home to the time she got rapped and then started living with a man that had her stripping and sleeping with men for money.
She then found herself cooking up dope for this...more

"Diary of a Street Diva" is a well written story. I actually enjoyed the entire storyline. All the hype that surrounds these authors is definitely warranted. I agree with all the others who love them regarding their talent. I appreciate that the story wasn't gimmicky or slick. This is a book I will re-read and keep in my personal library.
I was surprised! I have been reading a few books that haven't been worth my time and I expected this book to be the same. BOY WAS I WRONG!!! This is a must read book. Very well written. Good job to both authors...Ashley and JaQuavis!!!! I will be reading Dirty Money next!!
Page turner from beginning to end. Just when I thought I knew how the story ended it flipped the script on me at the end. Khadafi is Ceasar's dad is shocking. Betty Netty is Khadafi's mom no surprise cause she had is back spoke his name like a broken record. Very good read.
BRAVO ASHLEY AND JAQUAVIS! These two young author's are off the meter! This story has so many twist and turns you'll be on the edge of your seat! I had been second guessing myself on getting this book since it first dropped...WHY? It was sooo good!
i really love this book and it was well written and i couldnt believe it ended the way it did love it and dont want to tell the story incase others didnt read it.
this book was excellent the twist was what did it for me first book i have tried by this author and will be getting more of their books.
The best book i have every rea in my life! Fantastic story line! I love Ashley & JaQuavis!!
The book was ok, but I only gave it 2 stars because at the end, I started to wonder what the point was to this book. I probably wouldn't recommend this book to anyone.
The Diary Of A Street Diva was the best book I ever read.! :)
This book was great, it reminded me a lot of the coldest winter ever.
This book, is one of the best books they have written
this is a great book with a twisted ending...!
First book I read by the duo and I loved it.
Pretty good book, it took a while bc it was dragging but I finally got there I was was pretty shocked.

This book would have been amazing had the (co-written)authors kept the integrity of the main characters in mind. Without giving away any spoilers. I, along with my circle sisters were definitely dissapointed with the ending of this novel. When you create a character... you give life to your character. Therefore, like a parent, you're responsible for the care of your child. This is also true for an author and his or her characters. All members of my reader's group absolutely loved this novel, and...more

Definitely a great book- the ending rocked. I saw a little of it coming but not too early on and I definitely didn't see it all. I wish a little more about a part of the ending was explained and I also wish we could have found out what happened to Shay's grimey ass after she had Remy knocked. But hey, what I want and what I get are two different things. It's still a five star book IMO. The ending was crazy.
great book
I can't even rate this book because honestly I don't know where I stand with it! I mean it was a page turner because I was dying to find out what happened to Remy but I felt so let down at the end. I would have been happier if she killed her self or if Shay killed her I don't know.
Excellent read. Loved it
wow this book was excellent.. The end damn rt it makes you think twice before doing somethin that regret wow is all i can say. And honestly this book made me tear up a little bit
