Publisher's summary

Will the friendship between the "it" girls in school stand the test of time, or will lies, betrayal, heartache, and secrets tear them apart?

Monique, Bria, and Samariah are best friends from Milwaukee, going through some of everything together. Finishing up their senior year, they are the "it" girls in school, the ones other girls want to be like.

Samariah, however, doesn't want to share her shine with anyone. She'll do anything to get what she wants, even if that means sabotaging her best friends' relationships.

Bria speaks her mind and is as real as they come. She has been with David since freshman year of high school, and they are madly in love. Will that change when a baby is introduced into the picture?

Monique is too naive. She tries to see the best in everybody. She finally gets the man of her dreams, only to discover he has been harboring a secret. Will the love she has for him keep them together?

Definitely a good one

It’s definitely a great book I listened to it months ago and noticed I didn’t leave feedback (I think) but definitely worth the listen

OMG Narrator

You can't tell who is supposed to be talking, making it hard to follow. Same voice for 11 hours, blah blah bland!!! No punctuation unless it was in the wrong place. Story is good though

Entertaining

This book was entertaining. Sam was a bit tooooo much. The foregiveness peice, family, and support are all nice jewels in this book. I like this narrator. I would have given the story a higher score, but way too much description on sex and Sam's character.

I don’t even know what to say!

This book was all over the place. It started off ok. The narrator was great, he worked with what was given. I’m not even sure how this book got published! Just a bunch of teenagers playing grownups. A lot of unrealistic scenarios.

Great Narrator and great story….but

The story was really good I was just wondering why do the woman have to always be referred to as My Bitch by the man who love them and oh my goodness how much oral sex can one write about? That became predictable. Lol!!! Overall it was a great read and I look forward to enjoying more creative works of Dawn Jiles. Thanks!

I liked it but…

Some of the stuff that occurred seemed so unrealistic. You talking about kids graduating high school buying 15K engagement rings for 18th birthdays. Everyone in the book had so much drama. Where is the balance? Also, there was entirely too many near death experiences.

Overkill

This book was a LOT. So EVERY SINGLE RELATIONSHIP in the book is slam full of drama? Even the elders??? Good Lordt. It was entertaining but I felt myself more annoyed at the never ending cycle of bs than I did engaged and enjoying the read. Hard pass on another from this author.
