Does it get better

I am on Chapter 8 I hope this story gets better because all Cass is doing is whining about Leila like she’s better or whatever… She making like she better but she has 0 confidence in her abilities to perform and write yet she brags about being the writers of all the duo’s lyrics.,.
God please!!!

Good Story!!!

This book is good. The story is relevant to the world now. I am pretty sure that all kinds of shady drama happens in the music industry now. The story is well written and kept my interest. Good job!!

Awesome read

This story captures the reader on and holds your attention to the very end.I'm going to read it again in case I may have missed something important. The story was clean not a lot sex scenes that discused you heat TMI thanks for allowing me the space to congratulate the author and the reader.

Good Read

A little unsure at 1st but upon further listening I definitely enjoyed this read .....

Great Listen!

This was my first time reading a book by Sophia Quintero and I think she did an excellent job. Especially with the "Me Too' movement we have going on now, this book gives us an in-depth look at how the music industry is very similar to what was happening in Hollywood and most likely still is. I like that Cassie was a strong individual and knew when to keep her mouth shut and just listen. She was an "Angel with a Dirty Face" and G Double D called her and she lived up to her name. The narrator helped with the portrayal of the two young ladies and she did an excellent job. I didn't feel the book was too predictable and kept me on the edge of my seat. Two thumbs up. I'll be listening to more from this author.

Great Storytelling

This how be a hip-hop classic novel!!
It shows the ups and downs of aspiring Recording Artist challenges

Not what I expected

I love that this book isn’t your typical hood novel but it’s not what I expected. I’m still listening but so far, Casey’s character is confusing and contradictory. For her to be as smart as she is she keeps making the dumbest decisions and it’s making me not want to finish. I’m going to stick it out but the way the characters go from being smart, quick witted, and assertive to meek and timid is throwing me.

Good book

Whew! So much happened in this book. I recently started watching the television show "Queens" and though this book was out before the show, and has nothing to do with the tv show, I could not help but to relate some of this with Brandy's character. I appreciated the bird's eye view into these artist's lives and the struggle to get on top. Both for women, and for artists in this business. I was on the edge of my seat through a lot of it. Good read.

Refreshing

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. This author’s approached of a young talented ambitious woman that was trying to break into the music industry in a different way. It wasn’t the usual story of one selling their soul to the the devil in exchange of obtaining their goal. It was refreshing to have a main character that believed in her talent, trusted her get, and used her brain to achieve stardom that she desire. She refused to compromise herself. I also liked that her mother, although she didn’t agree with all of her daughters decisions, she was always caring and supportive. When her daughter needed her most she knew she could go to her mother.

Great surprise

I was pleasantly surprised from this author I never heard of. The storyline is a bit extreme but seems very plausible. I felt like I received am education in the music industry. Highly recommended.
