Capone (Season one: Delgato Family)

to the incredible book babe who introduced me to Jahquel J., I owe you a lifetime supply of snacks and maybe a trophy for best friend of the year! seriously, you have no idea how much I needed this urban lit gem in my life. picture this: at 17, our FMC Erin has the job of bearing not just her soul's burdens but also those of her younger brother Jaiden after their parents’ *dramatic exit* from the stage of life—was it a suicide or homicide, plot twist much? fast forward 16 years, and at 33, Erin is still doing her best working a job as a city bus driver and providing for Jaiden the best she can with side of help from her aunt and her mother's twin sister, Jo just to speed this up and focus on our main characters, when Capone, our charmingly delusional hero first lays eyes on Erin, it's like he’s hit by a romantic lightning bolt and he’s convinced she's destined to be his, and honestly, his delusional devotion is so endearing. Capone is here to provide in every sense, and honey, i’m here for it! - but let me add another plot twist, Capone is Erin's first love brother-in-law! this series is packed with a parade of characters so make sure you are locked in while riding this rollercoaster. and of course, it ends on a cliffhanger that left me more shocked than finding out my favorite ice cream shop is out of stock. let’s just say, i’m ready for a sequel (and therapy) because that ending truly took me for a spin! p.s. i only rated this a 4/5 due to the repetitiveness of the writing style, besides that this read was right up my alley!
