Stories on the Go!

Wattpad

I'm back again with the amazing Wattpad app! I have a pretty extensive library going on, and it's so fun to get caught up in the different genres. This time I will be coming to you with a more "urban" selection. Why does urban generally mean the hood version of something LOL?? That's the section I had to find these stories under, but swear they don't qualify as "hood"! My lil sideline commentary is over so.... back to the topic!

Crossing Lines is written by user Lowkey_Lullaby. This storyline comes from a few different characters, and how they all overlap and intertwine into one another's life. The McCall family has their own family company that brings them in a lot of riches and attention. Not one scandal has marred their reputation. The McCall brothers are married and in love, thus following the example their parents set. This would be true if you met them some time ago, but not anymore. Andrew McCall really does love and adore his wife (high school sweethearts), yet his wife, Vanessa, has decided to push him away with no warning or explanation. He would never step out on his marriage, but it has been around 6 months with no change. It doesn't help he literally just ran into  captivating woman named Tiffany. 

Raymond McCall seemed to adore his wife Lauren and their children, until a tragic car accident left his wife in a wheelchair. So, while she is in physical therapy hoping to walk again, he has decided to step out on their marriage at any chance he gets. He no longer cares for his wife the way a husband should, and she feels all alone and a burden with this handicap. Raymond has become quite obsessed with a new flame, leaving Lauren to figure out how to raise their young boys while enduring therapy. Each person we come across has a tie leading to someone and something else. What's done in the dark, shall come to the light. So be careful of the boundaries you cross. A mature adult read, and if I didn't go back and skim some things... smh. I clearly edited some things out in my memory! Overall, a solid read that had me ready to jump in the story ready to get hype LOL!!

Him, written by user queenalisa (Queen Alisa). First off she has written 4 other stories, and these two main characters appear in three of the works (one of them is the sequel to this)! However, this story can be read without the others. Carmen and Justin go way back to the sandbox, but they have grown! Carmen is finishing college, while Justin is already playing in the NBA with a full blown career. Carmen has been in love with Justin, but she dare not mess up her relationship with her best friend. Like come on he is in the NBA, so there is no way he isn't getting the hottest women around! How does she compete with that? There is cute flirting back and forth via FaceTime, texts, and phone calls, but what does it really mean? Carmen is just like us trying to figure out the signals and how far to read into them, plus add in the weight of insecurities. While she may frustrate you a bit at times, I know I would be all out of sorts if my life long crush was a celebrity athlete!

I really enjoyed this novel! It is always refreshing to get a book you feel is relatable to your day to day life, and your own prospective. Unfortunately I didn't grow up with my celebrity crushes... not even one! I'll just say for adult audience, even though I don't remember anything wild in the book! I highly recommend reading her other works as it is simply delightful! I believe one is still in progress and another she may be going through editing, but the story is still posted.

Feel free to comment any questions and/or suggestions because I am always here for it and love it! I try to respond, but as life goes, I sometimes get the notifications in the midst of class or other engagements. I be seeing them though and feel the love!!

Much Love,

Khariah
