"This one definately did not end the way I thought it would. Overall, it was good...however keep a clear mind because I promise the outcome you think you can foretell will be totally off. "
— Laskisha (4 out of 5 stars)
“Monroe engages immediately and masterfully uses the first-person point of view and flashbacks to tell this rags-to-riches story. Don’t look to this author for a formulaic story with characters you easily champion. This is truly a phenomenal account of duplicity, double-crossing, and karma.”
— RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)" Great read. I was able to get this book autographed by the author at walmart. That was a real treat. "
— Nikki, 1/5/2014" I am loving this book. I am a total fan. Escapism at it's best. These folks face every possible stereotypical trial/travail known to modern man. Mary Monroe can certainly churn them out. "
— Judi, 1/1/2014" This one definately did not end the way I thought it would. Overall, it was good...however keep a clear mind because I promise the outcome you think you can foretell will be totally off. "
— Laskisha, 12/6/2013" took me a few Trys to get into the book...and I didn't like the way she kept flipping back and forth between her childhood and adulthood!! was an okay book...I've read better!!! "
— Jocelyn, 9/23/2013" 8.18.12 Reread this book. Christine grew up without love and looked for it in all the wrong places. "
— Nadine, 9/17/2013" slow read. i cant seem to get into the book "
— McKinzie, 8/26/2013" I liked the book but just did not understand her relationship with her parents or why they acted like she was not there or let her run the streets. I love her relationship with the lady next door. She finally got the love she wanted from her mother. "
— Eddie, 1/3/2013" I was pissed at the ending. I hope there will be a sequel to this. "
— Angie, 12/2/2012" Just an OK read "
— Kathi, 11/16/2012" I borrowed this book from the library in an audio format. I like Mary Monroe's story line twists but this book was just okay. I think that I am just not that into women who make off the wall choices in their life. "
— Msladydeborah, 11/15/2012" It was a very good read. I really enjoy it. The main character was a real piece of work. "
— Sabrina, 9/24/2012" Trashy and full of Drama. I can't believe I read this entire book, actually listened to this gabbage. The main character Christine redeemed her trashy ways by the last chapter of the book. But, I think the author could have done much better with the content/details of the story. "
