The Weight Of Us

I’d give this a millions ⭐️s if I could. Camille V. did her big one with this book! My gawd my emotions are still all over the place and I’m debating if I should pour me a strong one at 2pm in the middle of my work day. I did not prepare myself for the emotional ride this book took me and my book girlies through. We had full on facetime calls to check on each other LOL! You immediately fall in love with Niyah because she is doing everything to be successful and take care of her brother since her mom left them. You can tell her situation with Derrick is not great but she’s making it work. You are pulled in by Sintonio and his crew because you know they’re talk of the streets, but the crew antics keep you laughing. Then…YOU CRY!! I mean ugly cry. When bullets fly, they have no name and the crew are men with a healthy conscience. They move with intention and when things go wrong they are remorseful. They aren’t bad men. They want more for themselves. So, the chance meeting of Sin and Niyah is definitely weighty and it’s only up and down from there. This story showed that LOVE will take hold of anyone, pride will destroy from the inside out and touch everyone around you if you don’t put it down and sometimes, while sorry ain’t enough - redemption is still yours. My gawd, I’m still a torn up mess but this read was so worth it!!!
