I love KA's writings, maybe I'm off and this is why my review is not better than it is, I'm looking forward to the writing style KA is capable of giving. It was nice to touch base with characters we know and love but sometimes their appearances seemed to be forced as if they were on a checklist and had to be mentioned. She led a globetrotting lifestyle on the fringes of the fashion and music elite, but she kept. Out of necessity, unconsciously and very successfully, Josephine donned a disguise to keep all others at bay. I appreciate the diversity of her characters (those who read KA know she is not an author who has been recently woke by current events) but I know no young Black people who speak like that. BOOK 1The Will by Kristen Ashley Early in her life, Josephine Malone learned the hard way that there was only one person she could love and trust: her grandmother, Lydia Malone. As well, not sure what was going on with 'language' the young Black characters spoke. Not sure how/when Dutch and Georgie found chemistry-this has always been one of KA's strengths and it's missing here. It's not that this was a novella, it's just that it wasn't a solid story. This seemed to a situation of "I've got to get this done so let me throw something together". KA's novellas are generally a full fleshed out story. The only thing this story was missing was a kidnapping. However, as of late her Chaos books seem to be produced from the same template. Kristen Ashley has always been one of my favorite authors.
