The book is great but I’ve read soo many books by this author now that I’ve found the plot a bit too predictable. I will definitely be back to finish it but maybe in a year or so.
I picked this book up as it was on display at my local library. I was captivated by the title and am actively trying to read more books with a BIPOC perspective. I haven’t read the first book of the series but I found the lens of Tabby and reading from her experiences enlightening and an empathetic read. While I am not an African American woman, I feel like I have been able to gain a deeper understanding on the societal pressures faced by African American women in their day to day. In all honesty, I found the writing a bit clunky but it was informative and emotionally gripping.
This is one of the best investing books I have read! Simran breaks down concepts in a simple and digestible way, encouraging the reader to take their financial goals seriously but also while demonstrating how easy it is to grow your portfolio. I would recommend this to anyone looking to grow their financial wealth, confidence in financial literacy, but also diversify their reading as generally these genres are dominated by a different author demographic. The podcast is equally as educational and I am so glad a book format was created. I will be reading this again and buying it as gifts for cousins, nieces, sisters, etc.
While I am keen to finish this book at some point, I am not keen to continue reading about the violence committed. It was also quite difficult to understand the slang that was created in the story and I felt like it was too difficult to grasp the story.
Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I read this cover to cover. I wanted to stop and never pick it up again, but I quickly became addicted. Very different style of writing to what I would usually read. I felt understood but also a bit disturbed. So many boiled eggs.
