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.

It is only for the first 5 chapters and I'm not justifying her actions. She is a b***h) Highest ranking: #2 youngadult #2 teenromance #10 romance Started October 2018 Finished July 2019Complete
