Unconditional Bond of Sisterhood

Three girlfriends come up during junior high through adult hood. They have bumps in the friendship but they hold fast thanks to one's older brother Alonzo "Zo" Simmons. It's a story of three the hard way and during their H.S. years, they pick up a fourth girl to complete the bond of sisterhood. First up is Lisa Simmons she is the "leader" of the group being a year older then her two best friends Stephanie & Tina. Lisa is also the younger sister of Zo, the local street pharmacist, who has the game on lock and runs a tight ship. Lisa and her friends are into the boosting thing. Lisa steals her merchandise to create who she is and to stay on top of the fashion game. Next, we have Stephanie Nelson who is the product of her environment. She is also in the boosting thing, only she does it to impress Lisa. She resides in the notorious Bayside Manor Projects and is a down for whatever chick. Stephanie has her girls back though thick and thin. Her story in the book is a very interesting one. To complete the three the hard way is Tina Richards. Her claim to fame into the boosting is to impress her current love interest. She is gullible - a little on the naïve side. She too has her girls back though thick and thin. She has a smart mouth and says what comes to her mind without thinking first which made for a lot of funny scenes involving her. Last we meet Nicole Raye. It's interesting how the author Alfred Adams brings this character into play. When these girls do meet up at a club scene they hit it off and their clique is complete. Nicole is a little on the stuck up side. She resides on the other side of town in influent part of town but loves to hang in the hood. She has a rep due to her uncles being Chris Raye 'the one time drug kingpin", and Mike Raye "the alleged cop killer" were both street legends!!!! Author Alfred Adams Jr does a great job pulling this story together. He kept me wanting to read more of this story of sisterhood, drug dealing, backstabbing, lying stealing - hell I wanted to go out on a boosting crime spree, lol. This book covers it all from the snitches to the true sisterly love these girls have for one another. The Character Zo does a great job in pulling them into his world and putting an all girl female team together. This book is good to the last drop. Some twist and turns have you, like 'damn I didn't see that coming'. The ending was great and no I am not telling, pick up the book and read it for your self. All the characters have a need to be there. No useless characters just taking up space. My favorite was Suge he was a trip and solider at heart. The biggest disappointment with this book is the editing which made it hard to understand what the author was trying to convey. Some mistakes had me doing double takes to understand what he meant. Editing aside, this book was on point and showed the other side of the game. SiStar Tea ARC Book Club Inc. 4 star rating
