Rich or Famous...Rich Because You Can Buy Fame

Rich or Famous #1

by Deja King

What if you had a choice to be either rich or famous: which one would you choose? That had always been a simple answer for Lorenzo; money and he could never seem to make enough of it. Growing up, always desperate for a dollar made him cold and calculating. Being rich was his only objective in life until he met Dior. Dior is shallow and superficial. She only craves one thing; fame. That means walking red carpets and flashing lights. If you can't make that her reality then you serve no purpose. But can Lorenzo convince Dior that his money can buy her all the desires of her heart or will her thirst for fame destroy them both? One thing is for certain, when Lorenzo and Dior's paths cross, the course of their destiny will forever be changed.

I think the book started off really well and then it went down hill. I understand that the book was about Dior but if you put Zo and his drama in the book then you should have answered the questions of what was going on in his life not just "I have business" it went on chapter after chapter.The way the book ended was so FU#k up. I'm not even going to comment on that part of it. It was a major let down. But if you want a quick read then you can pick it up.

It's hard to believe that Dior is dead. Something is not right with the way things ended. I bet it had something to do with Lala she would do anything to get with Lorenzo. I hope Lorenzo finds Alexus cause being a thief is the unforgivable. I'm can't wait to read part 2.

This book the bomb

I swear I love Joy Deja king books. She takes you on a ride like no other. Sway was something else with himself. Dior was so superficial that she couldn't see what lifer really was. Lorenzo is the man but couldn't see the women around him for who they truly where

Yes

I WA glad to read Lorenzo story and to learn of his strong connection to Dior I'm loving the men of the bitch series looking forward to what's next in part 2 of this new series

[Darnetta · Rating 3 out of 5]

Overall it was an okay edition to the Deja Joy King collection. There were a few things I couldn't overcome like the misuse of the word schizophrenia and run-on sentences. I also thought the work was highly predictable and moved extremely fast. In doing so, I didn't feel good nor bad for any of the characters. It wasn't a horrible story, it just wasn't 'fresh' or developed enough for me.

This book was about a girl named Dior and how she wanted to be famous. she kind of remind me of Tamar from the Braxtons show. A hot mess. She falls for a dude name Lorenzo who actualy comes in the Bitch a new begining book. The book was short. I did not care for the charcters but they do come in the last Bitch book. It was ok. Had to read it because my girl deja wrote it.

[Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Omg. This book was good. But I just can't believe it ended like that. Like I have never read a book that ended with "The End". What is up with that? And also why would Alexus betray Lorenzo like the way she did? After everything he had done for her. Also I so didn't want Dior to die. Like her and Lorenzo were just starting to build a life together and she died from drug overdose. What the heck?

One of my favorite authors but i had to give this book three stars. I loved the story line but i felt as though it was rushed like she just decided to make a another character tell their story then added to the bitch series. I also feel as though she needs to get to the end already. I wouldnt be surprise if Bad Bitch wasnt the last either.

When I first started to read this book I was like okay it's going to be juicy. Then it got slow like the details were all over the place. It picked up and I continued to read the book. I really wanted to know what going to happen to next in part 2. I want to see what happens to Dior in part 2. This read was a 4+ stars.

[Sharon Coleman · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great

Finally starting on part two but Dior is TO much a d Sway is so ignorant... I really feel sorry for Lorenzo cuz he is trying and keeps getting the short stick..
Hope things turn out well for him...

[Belinda · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book finally picked up and I completed it and have now started on Part 2. I did'nt know Precious Cummings would be in this book. Lorenzo & Precious are from The *itch Series. Should be interesting. Rated the first book a 6.

Wasn't really pleased. Started out slow then as it started building the book was over.
Did not end well at all. After reading all the author's books this one was dissapointing
