Ambitious 18 year old Jalani Chambers has always been viewed as the girl who was going to "make it out of the hood". Despite her good looks and brains, people genuinely loved her for her tough but sweet personality.
Jalani has never been anybody's fool...or at least she thought so. Her 22 year old boyfriend Jermaine was the first man she ever loved and felt connected with until he left her for another woman and didn't care to get back with Jalani even after finding out that she was pregnant with their child.
Listen to Jalani's story and bear with her as she goes through the trials, obstacles and temptations of life while trying to go back to the level headed girl that she
remembers before getting trapped and falling head over heels for a sweet talking street thug.

πππ πΈππ'π₯ πππ ππ ππππ is a raw and unfiltered hood-rich drama set in the streets of Memphis, where being different is both a blessing and a curse. Malayah moves through life on her own terms-she ain't pressed for a man, designer bags don't impress her, and she refuses to be just another girl in the crowd. But when a chance encounter at the mall puts her in the sights of a flashy, well-connected dude, she finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of drama, betrayal, and unexpected desires. Her so-called best friend, Tootie, can't handle being second place, and when jealousy turns to betrayal, Malayah is left out in the cold-literally. With nowhere to go, she turns to the same man who caused the drama in the first place, only to find herself stepping into a world of fast money, high-status living, and late-night secrets. But in this game, trust is a luxury, and loyalty is tested at every turn. Malayah ain't like the rest-she's not a gold digger, not a follower, and definitely not the type to be played with. But in a world where everybody's got an agenda, she's about to find out just how dangerous it is to stand out. πβπ π π ππ π§π. πΉππ₯π£ππͺππ. βπ π¨ππ£ ππ π§ππ€.She ain't one of them... but will that be enough to survive the game?

Baby boy βοΈ
"I'm like old enough to be your mum." I say to Jakob not even bothering to hide away how amusing I am finding the idea. "You're only ten months older than me." Jakob shoots back a hint of defence in his tone. Was he offended? "Still." I laugh out. "You could be my baby boy." I smirk sending Jakob a wink. - THIS IS NOT A SEX STORY!!!!! The characters are teenagers! (A/n so the main character starts off as a pretty bad person which is needed because this story is about PERSONALITY GROWTH so if you don't like reading that type of stuff then please don't read this book.
