I’m ngl Shakur definietly pissed me off majority of this book. I get he a emphat and wanna see the good in everyone but things was just to obvious to be overlooked. He should have never pursued Teyaira. Smashing her cool but a relationship was to far in my opinion. Teyaira just didn’t have it all the way there. I feel like she never really cared for Shakur. She liked him just off what he can do for her & the attention she recieved from him. She took his kindness for weakness because of his age. Manipulation at it’s best. Even tho I didn’t like her I kinda felt a lil bad for her. Kinda feel like she had daddy issues that she really haven’t dealt with. Presley was my girl. I hate what she went through as a teenager but I feel like it made her stronger and she became her best self. I also feel like she should’ve made Shakur work alil harder too. Her mother I couldn’t stand. I wanna give her a good NY a$$ whooping timbs included. I’m sorry I would not have continued to be in her life or have my kids around her either. I understand forgiving people and not holding grudges but that right there I couldn’t get with. It was too late when she wanted to acknowledge things only when someone else came forward. Sad excuse of a mother 🤷🏾♀️. Shakur redeemed himself. I love how he matured and stepped up. It just took him too damn long. He had to sit down for a few in order to see $h!t for what it really was. Overall Shvonne delivered as always. The way she maneuvered this story 👩🏿🍳💋. I can’t wait for Bashar story cause I know it’s gonna be crazy. I know Nixi gonna run me crazy. Good read 👏🏾.
