‘Issues’ is quite a rollercoaster. There are a lot of characters, and this can be confusing at times, especially in the format I received the eBook where there aren’t line breaks for new paragraphs when the author takes the story to another person’s point of view. Of course, as the story developed I learned why there are so many women involved, as three of them are dating and ultimately swindled by the same man. The overall pace of the book is very fast, which will suit readers who love to really ‘get into’ a book. Personally, I needed to stop and re-read a few parts again. Drake and Jessica prove that a real relationship can happen, and I have no doubt in my mind that there are many Jay/James/Mike types out there!
The family drama between the Tylers, especially that of 16 year old Tawana and her Aunt Renee when everything goes wrong, will be very real to some readers who have similar experiences. The character of Momma Tyler is one that is perfectly written to give a balanced view of love for her daughters, Renee and Jessica, and her granddaughter, Tawana. Her advice is sound whenever she offers it.
Friendships between the sisters Jessica and Renee, and Charmaine and Desire, are true bonds – unbreakable by relationships or hardships. This is the type of friendship that can be sadly lacking in today’s modern world.
I have to knock off one star for the formatting and therefore award 4 stars.
