Resumen del Editor

Shannon Holmes, the bestselling author of B-More Careful, delivers a wild adventure on the streets of the Badlands, one of the toughest and poorest communities in Philadelphia.

Bad Girlz takes listeners into the mysterious and often dangerous lives of young women who turn to the streets and strip clubs as a means of survival. These are girls who, along the way, suffer bad breaks and find themselves ripe for exploitation by men and women who pretend to be their saviors.

Tender and Goldie are taken under wing by Kat, a veteran stripper who enjoys the life and the risks she must take to stay in the mix of the sex trade. Both of these young and beautiful girls end up in dire straits and are in need of Kat's help for the same reasons: They lack the love and support that most of us expect from our homes and our communities. Where they live, illegal money is often the only money to be made, and the difference between the law and the outlaw is tough to discern.

Holmes tells a pause-resisting story of sex, money, and murder in the name of survival and reveals the many ways in which good girls - as they try to get by in desperate situations - become Bad Girlz.

Great story, bad performance

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It seems as if this is the first time the narrator performed and it seemed as if she was either getting tired and her sentences seemed as if there were run-on's. They should have taken more breaks or read the book a few times before executing this task. You can tell she is an amateur.

Girl Drama

This book was drama between girls and sex. I enjoyed reading this book and some of the events in the book I could relate to being from B-more City.

this book is fuckin great I need to read more

I need to read more of bad girlz book
because this book was letting you know that the struggle is so real

Yesss!!

this was a good book it was short but who cares . tears came to my eyes and the drama was on point. as for the narrator she was ok It could have been better overall I love it cudos.

Good Read

The story line displays that you have to be careful about who to trust. I truly enjoyed the book.

Trust no one

This book was good. My first time reading a book by this author and I was really impressed by entertaining characters. Looking forward to listening to some more of her books 📚.

Narrator is pretty awful

If you can get past the narrator it would be a good story. I’m assuming that this is the narrator’s first book? Her voice is nice but her performance makes me dread listening to her for 6 hours... the silver lining is that the next book is narrated by my favorite narrator (Nicole Smalls)

Goooodddddd

This was good, this was amazing. I getting the next book I think I hope there's a part 2

Classic

Very well layered. Grasped the complexity of trauma, safety and trust as motivation. Great example of how the desperate find themselves exploited.
Only question is how do you get a job narrating a story and mispronounce a bunch of words? Did she only get one take? Why didn’t anyone stop this?

Love book, I was looking for a little more but goo

Love the book ,I wanted Tender to get the money
but it was good
not in a rush to read the next book
