A review by schaebutta
The Coldest Winter Ever by Sister Souljah

5.0

Book club read! Full Blog Review: https://schaesplace.com/blogs/books/thecoldestwinterever

I thoroughly enjoyed this from start to finish. It had all the elements of a ghetto love story that reminded me of my favorite classics like Boys in the Hood, Set it Off, Menace to Society...and probably any Madea movie ever that kept me interested.

Winter is reckless, childish, and a hot friggin mess...but a life like hers is one many can relate to whether with experience in Brooklyn or some of the elements of mom trauma, relationship abuse or addiction. If those topics trigger you, you might want to sit this one out.

This selection made me realize that I love urban fiction! It seals the deal that it's one of the genres I lean towards - something about the drama, ratchetness, and ghetto behaviors that keep me turning the pages LOL. I'm eager to start reading Midnight's series by Souljah and maybe even stepping into the rest of Winter's series (once I'm done being mad at her...) 
I look forward to the great discussions I'll have in our book club meeting! <3
