This book was not for me. It was 200 pages too long. It felt draining to read. I get what he was trying to do but the conversations between the women were too unrealistic to me. As girlfriends we have deep conversations but I dont know any woman in real life that talks like that IMO. The scenarios were interesting to say the least. The only reason why I kept reading because I wanted happiness for Destiny and I feel like her situation is very relevant to now. Other than that, I wouldnt recommend it.

Listen, this book is thicker than cold peanut butter but nooo pages were wasted! Every single page added to this beatiful story of friendship. Black & beautiful friendship! It navigates through their individual stories but they even live in the same complex so the bond is beyond unbreakable. I cried, laughed & rejoiced with these characters. It has the perfect amount of spice, plot twists & character development! Highly recommend for a buddy read/book club. Sooooo many topics were touched on that would start great discussions!

EJD has done it again, this was a very good book, I loved the way he incorporated the ladies from different books and made them friends, Indigo and Destiny was my favorite Blackbirds. This book took you through each one of the ladies lives , he touched on real things happening today and affecting peoples lives, some points I had to rewind and listen again and Say did she just say that for real, I laughed, I wanted to slap people, and I felt sad for some of them. Job well done.

I liked the book but I do feel like it was long and drawn out just for you to kinda be left hanging at the end. Did not like the ending at all. Hopefully there’s another book that follows up with them.

So far this was one of the best reads this year. Four friends, Kwanzaa Browne, Indigo Abdulrahaman, Destiny Jones, and Ericka Stockwell also known as The Blackbirds and their story take you on an emotional rollercoaster ride as family and personal secrets are discovered and lives are changed. This was a very exciting and well written read. He has written this story from a woman's point of view and nailed it. I wanted to throw the book several times, but since it was on my Ipad, I decided against it. Not to mention there were a lot of screaming at characters moments. Excellent Job. You will not be disappointed. Thank you to Penquin's First to read program for the opportunity.
