After spending the bulk of my Sunday delving into the world of Nadine, Denise, and Jeff, I found myself uttering those exact words that are in the title of my review.
N'Tyse managed to grab my attention from nearly the word "go", and I found myself blazing through at break-neck speed until the climax and conclusion. The ending was wild and completely out of left field, but you definitely need to get the book to know what I mean by that.
The subject that this book was built around was a subject that not very many people wish to broach, nor can they find themselves empathizing with either female character. However, she masterfully maneuvered through the ups and downs and the real feelings - good, bad, and ugly - that each one went through. I found myself feeling sorry for what Denise went through, but some of it was her own doing because she failed to do the two things that are needed in relationships: she failed to trust, and she failed to communicate.
Nadine and Jeff... it's difficult to figure out if they truly were pawns in a grander scheme or not, but that is for the reader to decide, especially once everything that was done in the dark was brought to light.
All in all, I loved this book, and I can't wait to see what comes next from this beauty... Bravo, lady scribe, this gentleman scribe salutes your efforts. Until the next journey...

This is the second story/book I’ve read from N’Tyse! I’m still not used to her writing style but it’s becoming quickly my favorite!
I don’t understand how the heck Denise thought this was a good plan! How didn’t she do research into Greg’s life before she just DECIDED on their future together? Especially since she risked her relationship with her husband and best friend?!! Even though she can’t really blamed for what they did. She still shouldn’t have used it as an excuse to do what she did, then play victim!
Also how the heck did no one get any type of diseases? Lol
