Publisher's summary
Less than three weeks from the moment 34-year-old Rhapsody Blue first set her eyes on 21-year-old Malcolm Washington, her life has been turned upside down. It was lust at first sight, and Rhapsody isn't going to let young Malcolm leave her presence without a promise to fulfill her fantasy.
Malcolm had no idea when he accepted Rhapsody's invitation to her bedroom that he was selling his soul to the devil. Malcolm thinks he can bed Rhapsody and simply walk away, but she is not one to settle for a one-night stand. Rhapsody goes to desperate measures to keep her cub extremely close to her. Gifting Malcolm a very expensive SUV, filling his belly with home-cooked meals, and funding a trip to Cancun are just a few of the tactics that Rhapsody uses to ensure that Malcolm spends his nights in her bed and no one else's. However, when Rhapsody finds a mysterious package on her doorstep containing proof of Malcolm's betrayal and deception, she seeks revenge and seals her own fate.

The Turners have lived on Yarrow Street for over 50 years. Their house has seen 13 children grown and gone - and some returned; it has seen the arrival of grandchildren, the fall of Detroit's East Side, and the loss of a father. The house still stands despite abandoned lots, an embattled city, and the inevitable shift outward to the suburbs. But now, as ailing matriarch Viola finds herself forced to leave her home and move in with her eldest son, the family discovers that the house is worth just a 10th of its mortgage.

Had potential but super predictable, has spoilers
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Maybe a first time Audible listener
Has The Ugly Side of Me turned you off from other books in this genre?
The book could have been good, but major parts just weren't discussed, for example what happened to the girl Malcolm married, Raps found out about her, then they went to on vacation (I was confused by that). And the book was too unrealistic, all of this was supposed to happen in the span of about 3 weeks, they meet, "fall in love" get pregnant, and she's in jail.
What three words best describe Lynnette Freeman’s voice?
Fine
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
The potential, but other than that no
Any additional comments?
There were not surprises, everything was super predictable, I thought since Malcolm was so against the pregnancy in the beginning and since he secretly got married, I thought he was going to poison Rasp on the trip or something, basically everything happened because of a scarf.

Emotionally exhausting and not in a good way
What would have made The Ugly Side of Me better?
Character growth
Backstory on why the heroine was who she was and why she treated people so horribly
What was most disappointing about Nikita Lynnette Nichols’s story?
As a reader, I was not sure what the author wanted her audience to gain/experience from this story.
What didn’t you like about Lynnette Freeman’s performance?
The delivery was extremely rough. The transition to the male character came across as if she was out of breath. She was just the wrong choice for this particular story
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
Disgust, disbelief
Any additional comments?
I added my review to Amazon as well. Below is my Amazon review
This is my third book by this author, so I am aware of her talent and was ready to enjoy this book. I listened to this book on audio. I’m going to preface my review with the fact that maybe if I had read the book, the way the characters came across might have been different. I was exhausted after listening to this book. I know I am in the majority with how I felt after listening to this book, but again maybe this went over my head.
The heroine was so despicable throughout most of the story that I struggled to complete it. I am not sure what the author’s intent was with this story. What did she hope her audience would gain, learn, experience from this tale? Maybe, the book went over my head. I felt disgust, disbelief back to disgust. I read the summary and I knew based on that there would be drama. I thought the storyline had potential.
This felt like a teenage “love gone wrong” story. The over the top, erratic emotions, volatile actions, tantrums and conversations reinforced my belief that this was a young adult tale of what happens when you obsess and fabricate relationships that do not exist. I was even more certain that her mental instability went beyond the TS after the #2 incident at the doctor’s office, the vacation conversation with her boss, the airport incident and that was just a few examples.
Questions or comments that popped up throughout my listen.
1. How does a volatile, angry, mentally stunted & downright nasty person maintain a relationship of any kind whether it be personal or professional?
2. What type of mental illness did the heroine suffer from that caused such negative reactions from her. This is not all from the TS.
3. With the biting, sarcastic & overly dramatic attitude/responses is Rhapsody even capable of having an adult conversation?”
4. She’s 34, but with the mental capacity of a teenager? Her interactions with everyone supports this assumption. Is this what readers are supposed to get from her?
5. What happened in her history got her to this level of nastiness, insecurity & desperation?
6. Even at Malcolm’s “youthful” idiotic decisions that were led by his “little head” still came across more mature than Rhapsody.
7. Drama started from the on-set, danger signs and all and Malcom stayed. Materialism is a powerful beast.
Pros
Storyline had potential
Malcom’s character rang true to the age that was set
Rhapsody’s insecurity & desperation will be relatable for some
Cons
Heroine was utterly ridiculous most of the time
Wordy, unnecessary details
Rough narration delivery
Certain scenes were disgusting

VERY GOOD
Would you listen to The Ugly Side of Me again? Why?
this was a very interesting book despite rasp.. illness she has major insecurity issues and trust isssues...she treated malcolm like he was her son ..he is 21 and she is in her 30's she should have known what to prepare herself for when dealing with someone that young. She is immature.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Ugly Side of Me?
the most memorable moment was when rasp took her truck from the grocery store after finding out malcolm sister was driving the truck.
Have you listened to any of Lynnette Freeman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No but I am looking forward to read more books by her
If you could take any character from The Ugly Side of Me out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would take rasp out to learn why she has all the issues insecurity trust issues etc.

Not bad / not great
I just started listening to tjis author and of all the books I’ve listened to this was my least favorite. The book was not bad but it wasn’t great either and the narration was just okay

I thought it was good, it kept me intrigued and I most couldn’t stop listening. It addressed mental challenges that others don’t sometimes talk about. I was hoping rhapsody would return back to her therapy stronger dose of medicine. And that Malcolm would had thought more about the threats see made toward him and his family.

Not worth the credit
The book was exhausting and it just went around in the same circles to nowhere.
