Whew! This book was so good! I'm telling you the storyline and storytelling is utter perfection! This is a new to me author and dare I say off of this 1 book she's definitely in my top 10. I just wanna go on the record and say I loved Shabu from the first mention of him. That's a Haitian king right there! And Savvy and Michi what a life they've had to endure. And ain't nothing worse than when the people that are supposed to protect you don't. I laughed so many times in this book. Was angered. Was happy. Sad. Disgusted. And even teared up because I unfortunately have been where these girls are and my family is just like theirs. This book was beyond phenomenal.
