Thank you Simon & Schuster for a copy of this arc in exchange for an honest review. I wish I could use a few quotes from the book, but I understand why I cannot…

Apparently GoodReads won’t let me leave a review on this book yet, so I hope to be reminded to leave one when it’s safe to do so.

This book was a one star book for me, but how can anyone leave one star for a memoir?! That’s just straight up terrible because it’s a life story. Some life stories probably shouldn’t be turned into books, but that’s not for me to judge here. Some of the stories in this book were five star reads. The details were fun, the stories made me laugh out loud, and the details kept me turning pages. The writing was subpar, and I would give most of the book one star for that. The constant negativity towards white people, and the general overall “wokeness” of the book also brought my rating down to one star because it was over the top and unnecessary. It did not add anything to their story at all, so it just felt like propaganda to me. There were no original thoughts or arguments either, so it was just regurgitated shit that is out there on the internet added as fluff between sexcapade stories. It added nothing to their book at all except to piss off white people I guess. 🤷🏼‍♀️🙄

I dove into this book after seeing the title and cover. I have never heard of Weezy or Mandii, so I had no clue what I was getting myself into with this book other than it would be a type of memoir full of sexcapades. Boyyyy do I wish I researched for the first time ever before diving into a book 🫠😐

I can honestly read a little bit of anything. I can read about opposite political views, I can read jokes about me or things I believe in, and I can even be okay with things I don’t believe are okay for a little while. I feel like I can usually brush off these things as long as they aren’t consistent or in my face. I read to enjoy myself, so why would I want to continue reading something that constantly pisses me off?! This book started off so fun for me, but by the 40% mark I could not pick it up anymore. It was painful to read. I nearly DNFed this book 50eleven times, and it’s a miracle that I didn’t because I refused to dnf an arc I agreed to leave a review for. I understand that Mandii & Weezy are proud women of color, but if they wrote this book specifically for women of color, then they should put a note on the cover of the damn book so that white bitches like me don’t pick it up. The amount of times white people are spit on in this book gets a little disgusting by the end.

I had originally planned to rip apart the book entirely, but I deleted most of my review notes. I’m not going to do that because it would take up way too much time when I already suffered through the book for long enough. I’m just going to leave a general review and say that this book gave me so much whiplash. Both ladies constantly say how independent they are & allude to their confidence level. Both ladies will take any guy (except a white man 🫣🤔) to bed, but the book started out with how into women they are. I understand and don’t understand different sexualities, but by the end of this book I can honestly say I am more confused than ever as to what these two women want. That’s okay because I don’t really care, but I’m just saying that this book was so fucking confusing. One chapter will talk about how confident they are and how strong/independent and amazing they know they are. Know your worth & all that shit. The next chapter they are depressed & suicidal. Or maybe they’re staying in a three year abusive relationship with a man they prove is cheating on them time and again. Or maybe they need a man in their life to buy them all the things they want and need so that they don’t have to work for it. What about being born rich and having everything handed to her on a silver platter, but moving to NYC and getting sugar daddies that pay for everything. Brag about that for a few chapters only to say that it was your biggest regret in life by the end of the book. Okay, I can’t even keep up anymore. It’s too much. I am so happy to be done with this book that I need to go out and celebrate!! 🎉

I’ll leave 2 stars for now because it’s not out yet, but I reserve the right to change that review to one star in the future…
