Great Read
From the beginning Rasheeda showed how much of a jealous hater she was towards Peaches instead of the supportive best friend she is supposed to be. Everytime Peaches speak of having a better life, providing a better and safer environment for her daughter. Rasheeda had something negative to say. When Peaches boyfriend Logan stepped up and started being the man she needed him to be and the father their daughter needed. Rasheeda was throwing shade and had something negative to say. Rasheeda was a hater. Had she taken heed when Peaches told her she deserved a better man than Smoke. She would've done better. Rasheeda had no clue Smoke was playing on her feelings for him by having her feed him and his cousin Casius information about Peaches and Logan. Casius wanted Peaches from the moment she dissed his ass. Nancy is a manipulative, scandalous ass woman. Most women don't want their sons or daughter's in the streets. Alex knew his mother was selfish and didn't give a damn about him, his brother Logan, or his sister Treasure. He didn't want Logan in the streets. However Logan felt like he had to help his mother. Continue to pull jack moves with his cousin Omar to help take care of his greedy ass mother instead of accepting the full ride to College and continue to play football. Logan was starting to see what his cousin, brother, sister, and Peaches had been saying about his mother Nancy for years. She was using him to fund her lavish lifestyle and didn't care about the danger he put himself in. Him and Omar also had a target on their back when people started to realize they were getting money. When Logan walked in on Omar getting robbed and killed. It broke his heart but he was also shot and came up missing. Peaches packed up and let Philly with her daughter and a broken heart after Alex told her Omar was killed and Logan was missing. Rasheeda started to see everything Peaches had said about Smoke was true. She also realize she was wrong messing up their friendship. Smoke and Casius dumb ass had no clue that a butt dial revealed the sinister plan them along with Omar girlfriend Towanda had plotted was heard by Rasheeda. When Peaches neighbor April took her to that party. I had a feeling it was Casius. He tried to shoot his shot at Peaches again. However something about Casius was eating at she had her guard up. Casius thought he was going to have Peaches the way he wanted until Smoke and everybody he connected was popping up dead. Casius knew then the plan he put into motion to get Peaches had failed and his dirt was coming to light. I shook my head at the way this ended. Nothing had changed about Nancy except she turned even more bitter and miserable after seeing something on the Television.

Peaches
What a ride and well written story! Dani always comes thru wit a banga❤ Peaches was stronger than she realized! Dealing with a parent that didnt know how, or care, to show love, a jealous turned spiteful friend, to the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with being ripped from her life! She always said leaving Philly would be the best thing for her family! She saw the snakes in Philly, but she got the real when she moved to Atlanta. She found herself, made a new friend, reconnected with the person her mother was supposed to be, and finally gained her husband! She finally got the life she knew she wanted and deserved! That Cass was the king of snakes and im glad he got what was coming to him! Nancy never gave a dayum about her kids and im proud of Logan for finally seeing her for who she was.

Dreams can come true
This read was amazing to me. How many young people have gone through hell as they have no choice in who their parents are? When you have a dream to do better, live better you make things happen so your dreams can come through. Peaches had such a hard growing up with her mother, she tried to kill her dreams and make her feel less than but Peaches fought through all the negativity that came from her mom and her best friend..
Logan was Peaches only love he also had a hard young life. He chose to make his mother happy instead of himself with following his dreams. Peaches and Logan had a love that was tested over and again, in the end though they both were able to live their dreams, find true friendships and family and be the best they can be. As always great job

Great Read
This book was good from beginning to end. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. Held my attention and I couldn't put it down. I loved Peaches and Logan together. They were a young couple that endured so much. But I loved their relationship and they were loyal to each other. Both their mothers were something else, which is why they both were so determined to succeed. It was full of drama, action, jealousy and betrayal that made it interesting and entertaining to read. With the twist and turns, so glad the way everything turned out. I'd recommend this book. Great job Dani Littlepage.

Logan and Peaches
This was a good read. I don't know where Nancy got her parenting skills from but she missed the mark somewhere. How could you manipulate your kids to take care of you. Cass should have got the same fate that Smoke got being it was his plan. I'm glad Claudia got herself clean. Logan loved his mama even though she didn't care about him or her other kids all she wanted was for them to take care of her. Peaches is Logan's other half. Even tho their relationship was rocky she still stay by his side. Now they living their best life together.💞💞

Peaches was a strong young lady dealing with a bad hand in life. Se worked her tail off to provide for her and Zaniyah. Rasheeda wasn't a good friend cuz you never let a man come between what best friends have going on. But she later found out the hard way. Logan made bad choices but he was a provider. It took him a minute but he finally got it right. Rita was there at any given time and i loved her character. Claudia omg i wanted Peaches to just walk away but that was her mother and she never gave up on her. Now she's the grandma Zaniyah needs.

Good ending to a good book!
I love it! Page turner from beginning to end. I love Peaches and Logan relationship, how loyal they are to each other. Logan’s mama is a piece of work. Bless Logan for finally opening his eyes about his mom and putting his foot down. There is a uniqueness about this book. Peaches and Logan held their own separately as well as when together plus their family with the exception of Nancy. Even Rahseeda received forgiveness from Peaches. All that they been through both Peaches and Logan were to still achieve their goals.

Loved it
I really enjoyed this book!!!! Peaches and Logan basically grew up the same way none supportive mother's who just wanted the best for their lives. Even tho their mothers tried to break them. Its good to see Ms. Claudia got her life in order now Nancy weak minded but went out still thinking selfishly. I love how the love that Logan and Peaches continued to grow even when they where apart.

What a ride...Peaches went through so much, but remained strong. So happy her Aunt Rita was there for her and everything worked out with her and Logan. Logan's mom was a special kind of selfish and Cassius was a special kind of jealous. Another this is it was so good to read about a "hood love story" that didn't involve cheating.

Great read!!
This book was really good. I love books when young couples overcome their struggles. I really thought this book was gonna be about baby mama and baby daddy drama. I was pleased when Logan turned out to be a great guy and father. He really went through the motions to provide for his family and it paid off in the end.

Wow
I did not like Nancy at all how she did her children were so wrong on so many levels and I'm glad Logan finally saw it for himself. Never would I have thought Towanda was associated with Smoke and Cassius but they got what they deserved. I was happy with the ending of the book

It was cool
The book was cool, it wasn’t what I thought it was gonna be but cool. Peaches getting surgery was random af. I feel like peaches anger towards Rasheeda was a little overboard, like you act like this girl fucked yo man or something. It worthy of reading I guess.

Happy Ending
I'm glad Peaches got her happy ending, it was sad that she had to go through so much to get there but I'm glad she was able to hang in there and get all that she deserved. I also love the fact that she was able to boss in the midst of issues as well.
