Say a hood chick won't change for the better. Tassana did a 360 and now she has the upper hand on Osair. She got him going crazy and I love it! I can't wait to see what happens next. Baby girl has a backbone! The only thing I really didn't like how the book ended but other then that I must say it was a page turner once again!

I laughed so hard with this one it was crazy, I thought the first book was funny but this one stepped it up a notch. Even with all the mess going on it had me cracking up with these characters, reminded me of Daddy Dearest by Kevin Bullock, with RaRa and of course “El The One DeBarge”. I was hoping Tassana got it together but I was really rooting for Osari and Kyree even with his nasty attitude I thought he get some act right but he really was feeling the crazy one. I think Kyree is going to turn into another Tasira and Tassana has too many demons still out there for her to be happy. I hope the next one will be as funny as the last two.

Yesss!

I don't know where to start...This was a good book from beginning to end. I liked how she let Tassana character grow. I just hope that Kyree learn from her mistakes. Tokyo and Kauzie had that hood love that is hard to break. As usual Natavia has not disappointed me she is one of the few authors that can give you a mixture of everything but still keep interesting. I know part 3 is going to be something especially Lee & Dez crazy selves. That ending though sheesh! who knew?

Whose loving who????

As Tokyo acts like Tassana she learns a lot about her sister. Confessing to her boo because she cannot deal any longer. After setting up Tudor, Tassana is back in town. She can’t Tokyo and Kauzie are getting their shid together. They love
each Tasira Osira’s sister is bananas!!!!She is obsessed with
Kauzie and not going to make anything other. Tassana in the meantime is wrong in soo many ways! Tassana is with Osari who is with Kylee who was and still is in love with No Hand. Th triangles are crazy in this story as all the ratchetness..I love it!!!! I’m team Kauzie and Tokyo. Tassana is evil!! She goes and sees her parents and lies on Tokyo. The love is real, cheating is real and the back and forth. Darrion keeps picking with Kauzie. When it’s all said and done you will be amazed at the lengthens people go through to be loved. Oh these men be crying too!!! Part 3

A great continuation.

Yes, Kauzie and Tokyo are the most desired couple four me. There has been growth within Tassana and I like the new her. I guess she needed time to see how her ways could have ended her life. Their mom was crazy and delusional. Osari needs to get his stuff together. Either he be with Kyree or Tassana but I feel like he love Tassana. Osari has some issues with him. Shimmy and Dez relationship is humorous and that because of their age but things will level out for them.

Wow!! Love love love.

Oh my goodness, what can I say about this book?! It has been keeping me on my toes!! I could imagine every little detail and picture in my head as I read. I cannot wait until book 3 comes out. Thank you for such a real deal sequel! I would recommend this book to my friends and for people who like to read something raw and real. I gave it a 5 star rating because I haven’t been able to put down my kindle. Thank you so much!! Hopefully I will get to meet the author and or if she makes a movie! 😁

Oh okayyy so this is not getting no better just more drama and more mess… so happy for Tokyo and Kauzie… I was kinda rooting for Tassana but she did too much dirt to be forgiven… I wish Kyree would just be by her damn self … Dez and Shimmy are too young and too toxic I don’t even want them together somebody got to have some sense… Now the mamas are ghetto and falling in to the mess too… Lawd help us in Annapolis… On to book three to wrap up this foolery that I can’t get enough of

they hood hood

No Hands had me rolling with his dramatic butt, I don’t understand how he thought Kyrie would keep putting up with him. Kyrie wrong though she doing the same thing No Hands was doing to her because she don’t like Tassana she don’t care. Osari need to quit thinking with his jr head. I’m glad Kauzie and Tokyo got it together

The hood where it all goes down

Let me tell you this was a great book. Hood dilemmas from beginning to the end. Osari brought his gone ass from Virginia and now him and kysaki fine ass in the hood looking great. Shimi is off the chain will fight and talk shit. I feel sorry for kiri she needs a good man because no hands ain’t him

Great book

Osario don’t like how Tassana is treating him but look what he did to her. I’m glad that she finally grew up and ready to be a mother to her child. I hope her and tokoyo can work on their relationship they are the only family they have left. Great book

🔥🔥🔥🔥

Dez can't get it together. Shimmy and Kyree needs to get it together. Desiree and Lee is out of order. I'm glad Tassan is trying to get her life together and stop letting Osari treat her any kind of way. what's wrong with the men in this book. Real good read

Project 2.0!

Only in the hood people can get down like this and move on like nothing happened. Tokyo and Tassana mom and dad where cra-cra. Osari is about the get a dose of his own medicine, like Tassana getting hers. Kyree better get ready she's next.

Five stars still

Tassani does not deserve a happy ending. She was a conniving whore and doesn't deserve Osari period. She raised all kinds of hell and she still gets a happy nooooo!!!!! Kyrie definitely deserves it more. Other than that great job

Now Tokyo and Kauzie are that it couple. You just want to see their love keep going and never fail. As much as I hated I mean hated Tassana in book 1 I was actually feeling her in this book which let's you know that Natavia can write a book hands down. I just loved how this series keeps getting better and I just need book 3 like yesterday.

Wow crazy

About time Tassana fixed her ratchet behind ways. It's messed up that it took so much for her to open her eyes though. She was beyond terrible to Tokyo. Glad that Tokyo and her man got it together. Osari's sister was beyond delusional. There are just no words for her type of crazy. On another note, I love the bond between Tokyo, Khyree, and Shimmy. They are a hilarious trio, crazy as all get out but hilarious. No hands and Dez better get their lives. They cheat left and right then yet catch attitudes as soon as their "girls" even look at another man. They need to go somewhere and sit down. Have several seats matter fact!!! Terrible just terrible. Khyree seems like she is about to be on some other kind of stuff though. I'm hoping not but she is starting to go way left with Osari. Tokyo tried schooling her hope she listens. Need that next book asap. Natavia is killing it. Great job!!!
