review 1: This was the first solo novel by Meesha Mink although I LOVED the HOODWIVES series...this one fell a little short...Goldie is a hood chick that had nothing..... met a man 23yrs her senior and was well taken care of until at the age of 22 she determine not to stay in her lane as the jump off....Goldie had done that for six years and now she wanted to be the WIFE....She wanted to believe that Damion "Dyme" Gunners was gonna make her is wife eventhough he already had one....with his punk a**....and if you read this book you will see why he's a punk....This was not a GREAT read but it was decent....Wish there was more detail about the trial... what happened with Yummy...Did she end up with Has and what about Make$'s career.... how did she get the apartment and what career path... more did she take to have the life she wanted.....But I guess all that will be shared in the next installment....
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 less
