Ivy Symone’s Crush & Crush 2 has been the topic of discussion in many of the Urban Literature groups on Facebook. I’m a member of several reader groups on Face book and my Newsfeed was Flooded with post regarding these two books. As an avid reader I had to see what the hype was about so I went to Amazon and 1 – clicked Crush. It was priced at .99 which is a great price for purchasing a book from an author whose work that I’m not familiar with. I’m glad that I purchased it because, the book is great. The characterization was great, and I even fell in love with Jah, who is a raw brazen character. That all the ladies seem to love. As soon as I finished Crush I purchased Crush 2, which is my current read.
Amazon’s book description of Crush: Jazmin always had the biggest crush on her childhood friend Sean since she could remember. Being that she was the “cute for a fat girl” and “like a little sister” type of girl, Sean never really gave Jazmin much attention. Now that they’re older, things have changed. Sean has started seeing her in a different light and now they’re caught up in a love affair that Jazmin has been waiting her whole life for.
There’s just one problem: Sean is married to Jazmin’s sister’s friend Rayven. To make matters worse, Jazmin has just given birth to Sean’s love child.
As Jazmin deals with the pain, hurt, and heartbreak of being the secret side chick to Sean, another person has entered the picture. Jah, also another childhood friend, is handsome but can be a little rude, straightforward and temperamental. He’s the “bad boy” with a potty mouth that has always been everyone’s least favorite; however he’s attempting to be a standup guy despite his abrasiveness. And he’s there for Jazmin in ways that she would have never expected.
But Sean isn’t happy about it at all.
Will Sean sit back and lose his side-piece and love child to Jah, or will he be ready to let the cat out the bag to hold on to Jazmin?
