These poems were a bit more vulgar, but like book one, they are still relatable. I loved the artwork that was illustrated. I’m definitely going to read the rest of the series when it drops.

What made me purchase this was the beautiful cover and the synopsis. 

These poems was so relatable whether you going through them or someone you know. The artwork that was illustrated was so beautiful also. I’m not really a poem girl but this was good. It gives Black🤎.

Be advised this is an erotica poetry. It’s hot and steamy. Not a short story. Enter at your own risk‼️

I enjoyed the banter between Ada And Tori. They was funny lol. I do wish I could’ve seen a bit more of chemistry between the FMC and the MMC. I was on the edge of my bed tryna see what was gonna happen with Saban.


I’m really not into Mafia Family unless I like the author lol. This was a calm read. I’m interested into reading bout the twins especially Lo.

I was not expecting this story to turn out the way it did at all. I’m still shocked. Angel was sick.

Even when your legs ache and the stars feel out of your reach— keep running— keep Chasing Galaxies


I was literally swooning over Noodle and Bu 🥰. They were so cute. The way they pushed each other to do great. They balanced one another so well. To have someone in your corner, rooting for you, seeing the greater pieces of you that you don’t see is unconditional.

Noodle was such a complex character. It was layers to her like pulling lettuce from its head. Bu was IT for her. The affirmations and love he threw at her showed through the pages.

This book will resonate with you. You can feel the passion and emotions while reading. It will pull your heartstrings. This was a beautiful love story. Ms. Evelyn, you did your thing 👏🏾.

I received a ARC copy for my honest review, all thoughts are my own.
