Real Wifeys: On the Grind

<b>Get Money,</b><br /><br />Kaeyla Dennis was fortunate enough to have her grandmother, Mama Bit, in her life, but she still couldn't help feeling neglected by her drug addicted mother and unknown Caucasian father. While most girls in the neighborhood had their fair share of wears, Kaeyla’s choices were limited. While window shopping, she meets Dyme, an older entrepreneur, who takes the time to upgrade and mold Kaeyla aka Goldie into mistress material. <br /><br />After six years of promises, Goldie finds herself on the outside. No longer falling for Dyme's lies and excuses, she's on her own. No high school diploma, she uses her street smarts to get through hustle after hustle. When Goldie is talked into stripping, she decides to take it to the next level. Opening her own spot, securing her own fate, Goldie is a star quickly rising to the top. <br /><br />Cash Rules Everything Around Me, and soon Goldie realizes the error of her ways. What will the cost of having it all ultimately cost her in the end? <br /><br />'Real Wifeys: On The Grind' left this reader wondering why was ‘wifeys’ plural, when the story is only about one person. Also, who is the wifey in the story, as the main character is a mistress? 'Real Wifeys: On The Grind,' has been told a multitude of times and in Meesha Mink's version there is nothing new or unique. While you rejoice that she's learning to utilize her independence, she still lacks any real growth as she's put back in the top position and squanders her wealth on labels while living in an apartment that cost the same amount as her underwear. Something is really wrong with this message. Aside from my disappointment in the story, the editing is just as disturbing as there are so many missing and misspelled words. Minus the pictures, I felt as though I was reading a fashion magazine. <br /><br />Reviewed by: Crystal

Before the reading- Looking at the cover, I thought the main character was going to be the type of person who knows how to survive out in the streets. She know when and how to make her money.<br /><br />During the reading- As Im reading the book, I notice that situations in the book does occur. It's about a woman name Goldie that has been raised in "the hood". She is a bi-racial child and lots of females has hated on her. She hated her life because lots of females talked about her because she was lite skinned and her family was struggling.... Later on in her teenage years, she meets a guy named Dime, he owned a clothing store. Although he is married with kids, he starts a relationship with her and spoils her with all kinds of things. You name it, she got it. She is now in her late 20's and he stil spoils her with everythig. Life has been good to her, not worrying about jobs or beening broke. His wife finds our about Goldie and her spoilness ends. She now starts to her and work for her money.<br /><br />After the reading- The book was good. It let women know that they have to depend on themselves if they want anything in life because a man isn't always going to be there.

I give Meesha Mink 4 stars for this novel because, while it was an average tale, Mink manages to relay a complete story, something most urban writers fail to do. However, I found it quite vulgar and the scenes weren't necessary. Mink's characters were somewhat developed, and I'm happy the main female character wasn't completely unlikeable, which happens in typical urban novels. It was a quick, easy and entertaining read. If you're bored or feeling depressed, then pick this one up - it's bound to make you feel better about your situation.

This book was real good. It was a fast read. You know how some books are fake and u know that stuff like that in the book doesn't happen in real life. This book was real. I love how Mink kept it real. And I loved the ending. Five stars Mink.

Not what I expected and recommended only to a urban lit fan because it's not enough to keep this avid reader engaged.

First book of the Real Wifeys series and it was good. Goldie was a young girl with a married Sugar Daddy taking care of her needs and wants. After six years of lies of one day becoming Dyme's wife, she ends it with him. She is determined to get rich on her own. Becoming a stripper was not her plan but she made it her big hustle. Read to find out how it worked out for her.

A fun, quick, interesting read. There was a section that read as pretty biphobic / lesbian-phobic, so I knocked off a start for that. Lots of good, smutty scenes, which is already a good time. There is a sexual assault that is described, just so you know.

I can not say this was my favorite book but it definitely was an eye opener to understand life for other people and how easy it can take a downward spiral.

I could not put this book down. I read the entire book in a few days. Great read! Dope ending. The main character really gets instant revenge.

WOW!
