This was a really good read. I felt at home reading it. Like I was at my mawmaw’s house sitting on the couch with my knees curled into me listening to her talk. I like that I was able to learn about who Ms. Tina is and where she came from. Her life before marriage and motherhood. Teenie B was a vibe baby! Reading about her life while married and mothering 3 future superstars and how hard and tirelessly her and Mathew worked to facilitate their children’s dreams is honestly commendable and they deserve their flowers. And then her finding & choosing her. Very well put together book.

Baby!!!! This book was chaotic! In a good way though. I loved it but I’m high key scared of someone whose mind works like Angelo’s. He was a mixed bag of half cracked nuts. Koo & the koo! I do have a question tho: were the dating app pictures photoshopped? Overall great story and a great reminder to never use a dating app 😉 now onto book 5.

Omg!!!! This book was good! A nice, quick little thrilling, horror. There were turns in this book I did not see coming at all. There were scenes where I was covering my eyes peeking through opened fingers bc it was so gruesome. There was a scene that sent a pain down my big toe. Why it did, idk. But it has pliers in it bc I don't want to give the story away.

Wild! Didn’t know what to expect with this story/series and even after finishing I was thrown for a loop by the twist and turns. I never expected the outcome of the story. Very good story. Different. Well written and thought out. Love all of Octavia “Olivia ‘The Most Unhinged’ Graham” Grants books. Now for book 3

Love Marley & Czar. It was good to have a “catch up” book to see what Marley & Czar have been up to. Love the story and the overall progression of the story and the growth of the characters. So happy for Czar & LB

Beautiful love story. Great plot and story. Loved the MMC and the FMC. Very well written and put together .Funny! And at this point I'm starting to think I might be a little thrower off bc I talk to myself like Stevie (I'm also an only child like her). And I hear things in the same way Menace does. 😂

What the eff Octavia??? I often wonder what goes on in the mind of Ms. Octavia Grant or should I say Olivia Graham? Because I know she got some sorta SSI disability check when she was a kid bc how does her mind go to these places? The prologue: Olivia is a walking, talking, living, breathing psycho! A bag of nuts! Octavia, girl...this you? Story 1: soft launch of the craziness to come. Story 2: truly toxic! Story 3: CRAZY!!! Also unfortunate. I felt so bad for Brian. My boy went out sad. Story 4: I hate that for Melinda and her daughter but payback is a bee and they unfortunately belonged to the wrong bloodline. Story 5: it really did suck to be Leon. Whole story was crazy. Story 6: made me clinch my body parts. It should've been called "deranged". Story 7: probably the most true to life story. Especially in the age and era of social media. But you should always be kind to people bc you don't know their story. Overall, loved all the stories. Great book. And as delulu as Ms. Grant is I clearly am as well bc I keep buying her books 😂
