Sister Souljah did it! The Coldest Winter Ever was a very realistic and intriguing read. Main character Winter Santiaga got on my nerves so bad lol but I understand she was written to be naive and immature with the arrogance stemming from her lavish lifestyle from her Father’s work, ultimately being humbled by life, despite the area she lived in.
Honestly I have much RESPECT for the author Sister Souljah for including in this book edition a THOROUGH READ of discussion questions aimed for the author as she took the reader down the thought process and creative direction of the intricate decisions she made and also I thought the character analysis was very interesting. I will be reading more!

Winter is one of the most infuriating protagonists I’ve read, but she’s also not the worst. She’s selfish, but she knows what she wants. Though she's willing to use other people to get it. A raw story.
