Summary: These have got to be 2 of the stupidest women!!!!
Review: Gosh where do I even begin. Ok, Malik lives with his girlfriend kim and her son kevin in philly. Kim finds out she's pregnant and wants to get married. They end up getting engaged. Good for them. But of course Malik is unsure and reluctant about it all.

This chick name shonda moves back to philly to get away from her stalker boyfriend in atlanta. She gets a job at the same place as Malik and they fall for each other. The rest of the book deals with this trifling dude playing back and forth between the two of them.

I couldn't stand Malik or Shonda. But two selfish people deserve each other. I mean the hoe knew the boah was engaged and had a baby on the way and just straight up didnt care. And this dude, if he wasnt ready to be committed to kim then he shouldnt've been hitting it raw. And then the dog kept telling kim to watch her money cause they gotta get ready for the baby, but this dude is out spending all his on shonda? What kinda crap is that. But Kim is blameworthy in this too.

At first kim was the only one i had any sympathy for, even though i thought the dummy shoulda kicked him to the curb sooner. She shoulda listened to her mom. I mean yall don't use condoms but you keep finding them in the boah pockets? Him staying out all kinda hours and not answering his phone? So of course i was feeling her when she threw his butt out. But then the hoe let him come back. Stupid!!! Just once i wanted to jump through it and smack both of those dummies.

This is a cool, quick, read told by shonda and kim. I would have liked to have seen it from Malik's point of view also though. No doubt you'll be shaking your head and talking to the book. It's fast paced, and a page turner that will have you just wanting to know which one of these "women" will be the biggest of the two idiots. I didn't like the ending, and hope there's a sequel, because what goes around comes around and i would really like to see shonda get her's.

Summary: It's Real!
Review: I could not believe the ending of this book, but nevertheless, it was so real....it happens all the time. I have to say that the book was a page turner, despite the typos here and there. Shonda deserved her butt kicked...point blank. She is a prime example of the selfish trifling women out there that will go to no means to ruin someone else's situation, despite the circumstances. Let's not forget about Malik in this scenario...he is even more so to blame for being so weak, and letting temptation get the best of him. He was selfish, and playing both sides of the fence. Poor Kim didn't know what hit her....but oh well, at least Shonda did her a big favor....because who wants to be with a man like that anyway. I hope Ms. Poole writes a sequel to this showing Shonda's downfall, letting her know, what goes around comes around! Keep writing Daaimah!!

Summary: Didn't like the ending.
Review: I do have to give it to Daaimah when I say that this book was a real page turner but I was very dissapointed in the end. It ended too abuptly. The book would have been better for me if Daaimah would have let us see it from Malik's point of view also. This book could have been developed a little better and it DOES need a sequel but overall it was good.

Summary: Couldn't Put It Down
Review: I was taking a vacation and needed a book to get me through a 4+ hour plane ride. I started reading this book at the airport and did not put it down until the plane landed. I had finished the book before the plane touched down on the way hame. I LOVED IT! It's full of drama! This book is the best book I've read in a while.

Summary: it is what it is............
Review: I wasn't sure about this book when I first started to read it but it turned out not to be too bad at all. What Daaimah Poole did was open our eyes to the world of infedelity using the "other womans" point of view. Throughout this book, Poole shows how, when put into a situation, you can and will do anything to keep "your man", even when he belongs to someone else.
Shonda was a woman who had her share of bad relationships but when she meets Malik and he was the cure for all, but, unfortunately, he was someone elses. She does some crazy things in this book making her seem like the desperate little female when in fact she just found something she wanted and went after it. I may not agree with the way she went about doing it but until you're in those shoes, who knows what you'll do.
As far as Malik goes, I feel he was stuck between a rock and a hard place searching for a way out. He was dealing with mixed emotions he didn't know how to handle leading him to do some foul stuff. Again I don't agree, but hey, it happens.
Kim, she was faced the rude reality of her fiance's deceitfulness. But I applaud her for doing what she had to do to get herself through this storm.
I didn't like the way it ended, as a matter of fact I was pretty heated. But all in all this wasn't a bad book to read.

Summary: Cheaters never REALLY win
Review: Just like in MJ Hodge's True Lies the trifling women always come out on top. But when you think about it, what did Shonda really win? If anything she did Kim a favor. I guess Shonda never heard the phrase if 'he steps out on her, he'll step out on you.' I wanted to slap both Kim and Shonda upside the head for tangling over Malik. You see Kim's situation (coming home from college pregnant) all the time but I give her props for trying to better herself. But she made a mistake alot of young women make these days: When you and your man's relationship is on the blink, having a baby doesn't remedy the situation; 9 out of 10 it makes it worse and it's selfish to bring an innocent child into an unstable and foolish relationship. I would've given the book five stars if not for that b.s. ending. Shonda should've gotten what was coming to her. Ms. Poole makes it seem as if it's okay to wreck a relationship, and everything will be peaches and cream for the homewrecker. REALITY CHECK. What goes around most certainly comes around in life. Hmm, paying for wedding arrangements only to have the ceremony crashed and the Groom walk is grounds for shooting a nucca and his *****! And that's for REAL!

Summary: How stupid can you get!
Review: Kim and Shonda had to be some of the most stupid women ever known to mankind. First of all why would you choose to have a baby by someone who doesn't want to marry you. That right there should prove how responsible Malik would be and were his mind was at. Second why would you continue to let a man live with you who does not want to get married and basically support him financially. Third why would you pay for your own ring when he final asks you to marry him.

Then there's Shonda, the most selfish uncaring person in the book. The fact that she herself had a child didn't play any part in her decisions obviously. Why would she want a man who already has a woman who is pregnant, and is engaged to be married. I'm sure if she was in that situation she wouldn't want it to happen to her. She was basically accepting left overs that were spoiled. Then when she ruined the wedding that just took the cake. How selfish can you be.

Remember what goes around comes around. Malik is a big liar and he will definitely cheat on Shonda. And did you notice he bought both women the same Christmas gift? Probably from the flea market. This book was outrageous. It's definitely the young woman's guide to stupidity.

Summary: Triflin'
Review: This book is basically about 2 stupid hoes. One is educated and the other is a ghetto hoodrat. Why oh why are these chickenheads fighting ober this no good dog? What is the moral of this story? I could understand if Malik ended up with Kim or if they BOTH kicked him to the curb. But noooo, after Kim spends all this money on this wedding, Shonda comes in and ruins it and feels she's got herself some sort of prize or something! And then they never show Malik interacting with Shonda's daugther Bree. Instead of Malik breaking up with Kim and finding his own place, he moves in with Shonda. A man making good money like he is should be able to find his own place. Is this what Ms Poole defines as healthy relationships? A man going from woman to woman? Women letting him lay up with them and they both got kids of their own? I think the people in this book are triflin' just to say they GOT A MAN!
