review 1: Before the reading- Looking at the cover, I thought the main character was going to be the type of person who knows how to survive out in the streets. She know when and how to make her money.During the reading- As Im reading the book, I notice that situations in the book does occur. It's about a woman name Goldie that has been raised in "the hood". She is a bi-racial child and lots of females has hated on her. She hated her life because lots of females talked about her because she was lite skinned and her family was struggling.... Later on in her teenage years, she meets a guy named Dime, he owned a clothing store. Although he is married with kids, he starts a relationship with her and spoils her with all kinds of things. You name it, she got it. She is now in her late 20'... mores and he stil spoils her with everythig. Life has been good to her, not worrying about jobs or beening broke. His wife finds our about Goldie and her spoilness ends. She now starts to her and work for her money.After the reading- The book was good. It let women know that they have to depend on themselves if they want anything in life because a man isn't always going to be there.
review 2: She Fancy, Huh Born with no spoon in her mouth, Kaeyla ‘Goldie’ Denise didn’t take much time considering her options when she was approached by Dyme, an older, married businessman looking to take care of her. At sixteen, Goldie traded in her run-down sneaks for name brand heels. Nails done. Hair done. Everything did. That is until everything came to a screeching halt. With no one to depend on but herself, Goldie gets on her grind. It’s grind or starve. “Real Wifeys: On the Grind’s” main character is pretty stereotypical. She’s pretty. Her sex is good. She shops to keep herself laced in the latest and greatest. Basically, she’s a bad b*tch. Somewhere in between the looking good, shopping good, and sexing good, readers get a story of struggles, obstacles, determination, and coming into one’s own. However, that journey is quickly lost as the book dips to a level of superficiality and renders the read unmemorable and typical. Nuvo, Gucci Rush, Bath & Body Works, IMAN, Baby Phat, Juicy Couture, Louis Vuitton, Giuseppe, Lexus, Jaguar, Benz heavily grace the pages. How silk sheets or an Egyptian towel propel the plot is beyond me. I can’t forget my all-time favorite when the main character was described as a ‘golden Pocahontas dressed in Gucci shades.’ Did I mention her Beyonce-like hips, gold hair, and gold eyes? Goldie cut, shifted, rolled and flashed her golden-colored eyes so often it became rather annoying. Before long, I was cutting, shifting, rolling and flashing my coffee-colored (no sugar, no cream) eyes. She’s pretty, we get it! It was just so unnecessary and I wish that authors would just cease and desist with all the superficial and unnecessary. “Real Wifeys: On the Grind” is not a bad read but it’s an incredibly average one. The first installment of a series, I think I’ll pass on the next installment. OOSA BOTM (Feb) less
