Loved it

Yessssssss loved the whole series and glad they finally figured out who was behind shooting Jah. Tweeti and Jah were my favorite couple because Tweeti always spoke her peace and now in days you need that. Happy that Grizz and Sundae got it back right but happy she took the time she needed to get her head on straight. About time Remi is about to give Uzi another baby because for a minute I didn't think they were going to work. Manic is one crazy dude but you have to love him and glad Paisley was able to get the happiness she deserves. Poor Wynner only going to end up in her mother's footsteps. Overall great read and can't wait for Rose in Harlem

What a way to end a series!!!!!

Remi finally grew up and admitted her flaws, funny thing is both her and Tweeti tend to be selfish at times but their sisterly bond never faltered. Now Grizz he admitted his wrongs and I commend him for allowing Sundae to do whatever she felt was necessary to get back right. Maniac he was a fool all around but one thing about him was that he kept it 💯 at all times.Paisley her finally getting a backbone and learning to love herself in the end...BRAVO!!!!!!!

Tweeti, Paisley, Sundae, and Remi didn't care that they were with McKnight men, they wanted respect. Once Tweeti found out that Jah was in the clear, she did her job as a wife and mother. The love that Tweeti had for Jah never waivered, and she was woman enough to admit that she was wrong, and Jah had been telling the truth the entire time. I loved how she stood up to anyone else, that questioned her on her motherhood, or on how to be a wife. Tweeti didn't bite her tongue for anyone, and I respected her for that.

Paisley had came a long way! Paisley wasn't taking any type of abuse anymore, whether it may be mental, emotional, or physical abuse. She learned that she had to find and love herself first. She learned that it wasn't ok to jump from one relationship to another, and haven't healed yet. She also learned that it was freeing to be independent and it was okay to be lost, as long as you eventually find yourself. So many women lose themselves in a negative relationship, and don't bounce back, but Paisley did just that, with the love, help, and patience from Manic.

Sundae had a history of mental illness, but I loved that she finally learned that having a mental illness was ok, and it didn't make you crazy. Leaving negative energy behind, such as her mother, or Teyanna, needed to be done, for her own sanity. I loved that even though Sundae adored Grizz, she loved herself first, and she gave him a hard time with taking him back. Grizz had a kind heart, but his heart could've done so much more damaged to Sundae's mental. Grizz knew that he messed up, but he stepped up and did what was necessary to win his woman back.

Remi and Uzi was a tricky one. In my opinion, to have, or not to have children is a dealer breaker in a marriage. Everyone have their own opinion of what their deal breakers are. Remi was selfish on not wanting children, when she knew that her fiancé wanted children. Now, it's not okay for Uzi to throw her out in the way he did, without having a serious discussion about why she didn't want children all of a sudden. It was indeed a miscommunication, but I know one thing, Uzi is going to think twice in the way that he moves, if Remi decides to give him another chance.

I haven’t finished but i gotta write this review as I go. Tweeti just bout to piss me the hell off. I understand that tension is high bc she’s scared for husband. But how she gonna be mad bc Uzi makes decisions for his siblings but don’t mind him saying that he would die if he has to to find who shot Jah…..then to turn around and call Remi selfish because she told Uzi that it was a selfish way to think as if he doesn’t have Paris, an unborn, and fiancée that need him, WHEN if the shoe was on the other foot Tweeti ass would be aggy if Jah said some ish like that. I love my girl but she needs to stop being so quick to pop off. imma com back to finish this review when i done with the book. oh oh hold up im back. and then to mention that when it was Remi she didn’t care….Last i remember Remi was ready to get her OWN get back so please don’t pmo. i’m back now…it’s been a couple hours later. Remi don’t make me come through this book and snatch you up sis. I love you sis so it’s gonna hurt me more than it’s gonna hurt you but girlllllll. She want kids she don’t want kids she wanna be a trap queen she wanna be damn picasso. i understand being indecisive but homegirl gonna give me greys and i im only 20. (ill be back hold up)…..im back maybe i should do time stamps? nvm but clock her tea Jah, the both selfish so hmph…. I’m back and Papa McKnight is gonna have to catch these hands. his piece about to fall off with all this foolishness

Whew…this opening was awful after the ending of book 2! 😭

Come on Mrs. Tweetie McKnight! You better let them know!

Apparently, Wynner has turned back into chicken dinner. 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

Who’s not pregnant atp? 🤷🏾‍♀️

Grizz IS stupid

A third chance?! A fucking third chance Grizz?!

I don’t know that I can agree with Sundae’s decision. 🤷🏾‍♀️

That Shad…🙄

Nisha needs a Tweetie style laying of the hands.

I wasn’t satisfied with how Grizz ended that situation. I wanted Sundae to have the honors. Didn’t she deserve a lick?

That was the most epic baby shower of all time! I giggled and kicked my feet! Yaaasss!!! 😂🤣

"And don't be surprised when a snake wrap
around your leg either." - I wanted to scream but it was so late at night and because I couldn’t scream my vision blurred. 🗣️🤣😂

We didn’t even get to listen to J-Rell’s flawed logic.

Dang, for us to end the spin off to the Harlem series and still be unwed is kinda wild, huh?

Love this series great read

Tweeti and Jah has went thru so much pain and darma he was shot and almost died. Come to find the son Dakto was pregnant was not his baby. She was pregnant by J-Rell who shot him for dead over some women he was in love with years ago. Tweeti and Jah went thru a emotional rollar coster. Paisley and Maniac are still going strong engage and parents of three. Paisley had her daughter Aubree and is the legal parent. Rome and Saryia had a bad car accident and died. Grizz and Sundae has been thru trials and trublucation with his ex- girlfriend pretending to have cancer. And was sabatoge their relationship messing with Sundae mental health medications. She definitely need to go who does something so cruel to someone Teyanna. Remi and Uzi are back together and expecting a baby boy . Their mother Evenlyn was clean and close to her daughters.

Anxiety love... Lawd so good

I never had a book give me so much anxiety before but I should have known Jahquel would do it to me. Even though I've read her later series I can say her pen game was and is ridiculously insane. This series had me with so much anxiety of what's gonna happen next I and to stop reading for a few hours. That Dakota, Dallas and JRell shit had me pissed off then to find out the actual truth about Ashley lying about Jay fathering her child geesh. Nisha was that character persona I hate in reality. Manic was my dude like I could really hang with him in real life. He was no holds bar honest dude and his twisted personality top notch. Sundae,Grizz, and puppy ashes (lol) I couldn't believe that she actual went that far after what she did the first time. So glad all the characters got what was deserved for them good or bad.

Yessss

Outstanding job!!!! I can’t wait until the discussion! There’s so much to get into! First Qua & Wynnter there is obviously way more going on under the surface. And I’ve so got to k ow what it is! Remi and Tweeti were both wrong yeah I said it. I was so cheering when she lead hands on Dakota. I completely understood where Remi was coming from. Maniac had me worried for a minute there! Luckily he got Nisha all the way together because she was doing to much even for me. I wanted to feel sorry for Grizz but I just didn’t have it to give. I can’t wait for Paris & Boo Story!! Shad & Emory need to just let it go. It’s a never ending cycle.

I love any and all things written by Jacquel

While the title lead me to believe that this was Grizz and Sundae’s story.....it still was a very good series. I love reading all about the McKnights And the their extended families, but the title made me feel like Manic was the East Coast Maniac. Again, this is not a complaint because I love Manics character and inspire of the title not matching, I am ready to read the next book/series concerning any of the characters because of how the lives and histories are intertwined, no one should be shocked about any of them being the story! Excited about what comes next!

5-Star Review: A Phenomenal Finale!

Jahquel J. does not miss! This entire series was a five-star ride—I mean read🤭—from start to finish, and this finale? Absolutely incredible. It wrapped everything up so well, tying every loose end in the most satisfying way. The storytelling was top tier—funny, emotional, and wildly entertaining. I caught myself literally laughing out loud so many times. The characters, the drama, the heart—it all hit on another level. The author ate and left no crumbs. Highly, highly recommend!

I don't want it to end

I have really enjoyed these characters!!! The growth that Tweeti displayed was real. I'm glad she put Uzi and Emory in their place. Sad to say I agree with them Wynner and Qua might end up like Emory and Shad. Remi worked my nerves for real that hasn't changed🤣��🤣. Yess Sundae I'm glad she weathered her storm. Maniac will forever and always be BAE😍😍😍. He bossing up and baby showers and stuff!!!

Great series I'm glad everything worked out for each couple. Uzi was bout to make me slap him but remi was doing the most all she had to do was sit and talk to him bout why she was afraid to have a baby instead of saying she didn't want kids. Tweet I'm so glad she grew up a little cuz laws she was also doing the most. Dae omg I'm so happy she got her happy ending her n paisley they deserved it the most. Again great series

Good series

What can I say I absolutely loved the growth of Tweeti. Her and Jah is couples goals for real. They went through a lil something but as always true love never fails. Manic and Paisley we're just stinking cute and couldn't help but love them. I'm sorry but Remi is absolutely selfish. If that man wants kids and you don't what makes you think he should still get married just to be miserable to make you happy. Overall I enjoyed it all.

What Works For Some Doesn't Work For Others

Jahquel, I love this series. There is so much

h growth for some and no growth for a few. This crew has had so many issues.
But from hurt, forgiveness , and growth, those thar took accountability for their actions were the ones t hat understood what they had and how much they were worth. I can't wait to see your next read. Great job🤗🤗🤗🤗

Awesome

Maniac was crazy!! I loved his vibe, though. I am glad Tweety and Jah worked things out. Also, I am so glad that the author talked about mental illness and they can live normal lives. Alot of times, we don't want to talk about mental illnesses and want to call these people crazy when, in reality, we all have dealt with this in some form of fashion. This was a really good series

Happy Birthday to the Author!

This was Amazing it really showed everyone has their way of living and loving. It ain't for everyone to understand as long as it works for the 2 in it. I loved how we got to see all of them Grow. Can't wait to read on Paris and maybe her Aunt Wynne how she is loosing her husband following her mother. 5+ ☆☆☆☆☆ Must Read

In Love With An East Coast Maniac: Grizz,Sundae & Everybody Else

I loved this finale. Jaquel is a beast with the pen. She writes books the reader can’t put down. The characters are colorful and have their own vibrant personalities.
If you want to be entertained,laugh, cry & impatiently wait for her next book,read anything she writes.b

It was a lot going on with everybody, Jan getting shot, Sundae leaving Grizz, Twetti being mean as hell to everybody, Remi and Uzi tripping, crazy ass Maniac and Paisley having issues with Nadia who fucked up by playing around thinking Maniac was never going to find anyone else just because they're fucking.

Ok this series was very interesting. I fell as though it was more Paisley and Manics story than Grizz and Sundae however it was still very good. I’m glad that Remi overcame her fears of being a mother and Tweeti and Jah got back together. Paris is gone be something and Emory is a dam fool.

Great ending

This was a great ending for these couples because they all went through so much. I hope they learned that lying is never the answer. It is important to communicate and always be honest because all of their issues could have been avoided. Glad all the couple's got a happy ending.

I really enjoyed these characters so much. They had so much drama going on and kept so many secrets that it was ridiculous. I was really glad that Jah did not cheat on Tweet him and Manic were my favorites. I loved the relationship that Tweeti and Jah had between them.
