After this book I understood O and Ev’s relationship a little more too. O don’t wanna get caught up in another man like she did with Hassan. That seems to be one of her triggers.
Their relationship is very toxic. But I understood her fear. All her and Dem do is fight and fuck. That wasn’t a good environment to bring a baby into. And her mom being in and out of her life contributed to her fear of abandonment.
I agree. I feel like Dem just needed someone like you said like Haze to calm him down and then his babies helped as well. Erie just need to fully find herself cause she’s clingy
It was toxic just like the majority of their relationships but I feel like the pain and abandonment of that Erie experienced damaged her more due to her being a female
Toxic! All they do is fuck & fight. I don’t think Dem is leading her on tho. I think Dem genuinely has feelings for Erie, but Dem feels obligated to his bm & his kids.
I wasn’t. I think all the poster kids shows signs of some type of mental disorder. Obviously Pav & Dem have similarities in their disorders. Lakes is closed off and mute like at times. Sav shows signs of ADHD. Wreck shows signs of HSP. And Vant is hyper sexual.
Heartwarming… when Oceana asked Lake to tell Pav some good things about her… I loved that for him. Funny… when Sav found out about Daly and Pav. My boy really a nut.
I have two. When Pav met up with Avery, Chi, and Ivory and she seen pictures her brothers for the first time. And when Pav met all her brothers for the first time at the basketball court. Two very emotional scenes.
[@Dena Jackson] I thought she did some type of drugs for the last baby that was a stillborn I reading it again so I’m gonna see if I get that same vibe but I do remember what Tj said
I’m on my 2nd read I read it then went back and reread from front st straight thru to Clearwater and it gives me a better understanding of everybody. I just loved to see how everybody grew especially lake and dem. Pav really did fit right in she was the balance they didn’t know they needed.
The best part about this book is that it shows what Oceana could have been without Hassan. I know ya'll may love him, but he was toxic af. Pav is Oceana before the drugs. The innocence, the love, the being somebody else mama.....I loved it
Yeah she is definitely her mama before Hassan. I totally understand why she left her with her parents. She wanted to protect her innocence. She destroyed Lake’s, Hassan took hers and Mucci evil ass would have definitely ruined Hassan’s only daughter.
I loved the book but I am wondering about that incident with the (potential kidnapping) creeper dude . Did the mom set that up or was dude watching them?

I don’t Kareem truly liked Pav. I think he just wanted to smash. Especially after he found out she was a virgin.
Why was Sav break dancing dressed like Spider-Man 😩😩😩 I would definitely hire him
I like how Dem & Pav bonded over their illness
Oceana has toned down a lot but she’s still crazy asf

Omg this is one of my new favs!!! I’m absolutely in love with Daly and Pavati 💙💙💙 they made my heart smile…
She got ARC's she gotta knock out first.
