I'm. So. Mad.

 Capone by Jahquel J. 

I was so mad at this book it has taken me DAYS to calm down to be able to write this review. I can't stand Capone! Really, by the end of the book the only characters that I liked were Erin and Capri. Everyone else could go kick rocks. I can't stand a MMC who is domineering. What you're NOT going to do is tell me who I can and can't talk to, where I can and can't go. And he was doing all of this to Erin and THEY. HADN'T. EVEN. BEEN. ON. ONE. SINGLE. DATE. YET. Then, he stands her up for the date he plans and doesn't even have the decency to be like my bad, I was sick. Damn. I understand not wanting to drop the sickle cell bomb on her from the jump, but you could have at least told her you were too sick to even get out of the bed. Something! I will give him credit for telling her the cause; that was good of him. And he does pay attention. Him buying her her favorite car was above and beyond, but chill. I do not like his dynamic with his baby mom. I understand that at his age he is going to have a past and kids, but him still messing with her and leading her on is all kinds of messed up and I don't blame Ella for how she's acting because she has been upfront about wanting to get back together and have another kid. This is all on Capone. Now, for Erin. She DEFINITELY needs to go to therapy. She has been taking care of her brother since she watched her dad kill her mom and then kill himself. I'm glad we, the reader, got some answers about that, but Erin needs some closure too! And some hard core therapy. Jaden is a brat. I don't think the baby is his; I think Timmy is the father the way Joy was acting at the end of the book. I can't believe Timmy shot him. I mean, I can, but damn! And then the reveal that Capone is Timmy's father! So, Capone slept with BOTH of his sister's best friends. His hoe ass is a terrible brother. And now Capri, who is down bad for her husband, is convinced that he's cheating on her, and she's right! And he's cheating with her former best friend! The same woman that Capone had a child with 16ish years ago and didn't realize it!  This book is messy messy! I was mad, but I enjoyed it. I have put in the request for book 2 and now we wait. Also, the narrators were great, but I don't like when you have two narrators and two perspectives but if it's the woman's perspective then she does both voices. Like, you have a male narrator, let him read the male parts during the entire book!
