Still Mad part 2

 Capone II by Jhaquel J.

I listened to this book in two days and the majority of it was while I was setting up my classroom for the new school year. I was SWEATING it was stressing me out! The same narrators were back for this book as book 1 and by the end of the book Erin was the only character I liked. We pick up right where we left off, with Jayden and Joy being shot. Jayden survives and Joy, who seems like she is getting better, dies from a blood clot. That was horrible! Capone moves Erin and Jayden into his house and changes the code so Ella can't just come and go whenever she feels like it; her chapters were the least enjoyable (she's so jealous). Ry was getting on my nerves; she was so caught up in herself and her NBA player boyfriend she couldn't even be there for Erin and Jayden. Capone pays Jo's salary so she can be his full time nurse and she ends up moving in as well when her boyfriend gets jealous of all the time she's spending there and their relationship ends. Capone proposes to Erin and she says yes, and she's pregnant. When she goes to tell Jayden we find out that he already knows; Capone asked for his permission to marry her (which is pretty cute). We find out that Capri has been cheating on Nahiem with Kincade! And then Kincade takes her out to this bar and he gets high on pills and almost gets her kidnapped and sex trafficked, but she had her wits about her and was able to get them back to safety. At that point she realizes she really does want to give it another shot with her husband, but Tasha shows back up. Turns out they didn't actually kill her son Timmy and she buried some stranger and was just pretending at the funeral. She finds Capri and Nahiem while they are at dinner with one of Capri's friends from law school and tells Nahiem that he's going to be a father and that's where the book ends.  I am on hold for the next book and cannot wait to find out what happens because right now, I'm still not convinced about Capone but he's growing on me a little. Erin is still my favorite. Jayden and Jo both need something good in their lives and I can't wait to see what's going on in the soap opera that is Capri and Nahiem!
