 Can anybody say spelling and grammar check???
I am on Page 115 of this book and all I can say is WOW!!! This is one of the worst books I have ever read in my life. There are so many typos, run on sentences, punctuation, spelling and grammatical errors that it makes this book very hard to read. There is also a lot of repetition in this book. I struggled through the first chapter and started to put it down then, but being the curious person that I am I want to know how this story will end. The storyline is ridiculous and unrealistic - extremely unrealistic. The first thing that blew my mind is how Yarni's mother declined Des' request to marry her, and then she ends up moving out with him anyway. The way I understood it was that Yarni's mother was very over-protective of her. You mean to tell me she just let her 15 year old daughter walk away with a 21 year old dope dealer without a fight? That was just plain stupid. She didn't take any legal action or anything. I find that hard to believe. The other thing that just made my mouth drop was how Yarni was having sex with this guy and that guy (at the same time she's supposed to be so intelligent), but she is supposed to be 100% committed to Des; at least that's how it sounded. Des is providing her with everything she needs, even though he is in jail, so why does she need to hustle and get money out of other dudes? How did she turn into a gold-digger overnight? That didn't seem to be her original character. She supposedly came from a good home and was raised better than that. I am going to finish this book because I paid for it, and actually bought the sequel to it (I hope it's better than this book). However, I really don't expect this book to get any better and would not recommend it to anyone. The author should be ashamed to have anything like this with her name on it.
*** EDIT ***
I just finished reading this book and I am very disappointed. I knew it wouldn't get any better. There were new characters who were never really introduced. This book is so unrealistic. I hope she does a better job in the sequel.

 SUCH A GREAT BOOK!
i loved this book as well as the the sequal! i couldnt put them down! i dont want to ruin the story so i am not gonna go on and on about what happened in the story but it was well worth my money and if you like reading books about living the high life and the struggles that come along with it you will love this book as well as the sequal "Forever A Hustlers Wife."

Outstanding, a lesson to be learned
This was a outstanding book i recommand this book to anyone who is thinking about buying it. Not only because its good but also it has a few messages. Never let anyone or anything get in the way of your education, if you have a chance to further your education did do it, It's good to be indenpent so that you don't have to denp on some one else there's nothing like having your own money, and if you are involved with anyone that are similar to the characters in this book you need to be smart and learn to save for rainy days. This book was interesting from start to finish.

 Interesting Enough
This book was really good, interesting but a little predictable. The character development in the book is what makes it a must read. For lack of a unique plot, the author makes it up in the character developement. Book moves at a nice pace. Recommend you read it.

Good book if you can get past the errors
This book has a good story, unfortunately the book is ripe with typos, grammatical errors, and misspellings! But, if you can get past it then the book is a good read. i said good and not excellent.
