This is an incredibly easy read of increasingly alarming behaviour. All too familiar, easily believable and totally doable actions on a number of levels. I can't speak to murder, kidnap, stupefying, or assault; but l know the industry. I know media. I know spin. And I know this happens. Anyone who hears a story like this and judges the parents or the child needs to realise the machine that creates the image they need to see to be comfortable signing their child into the care of someone else. Sometimes, what they are told happens. Often it's not. Worst case scenario, it was never going to be. Believe Women. #believewomen

🛑SPOILERS🛑 ⭐️: 4.75/5 I brought this book a while back and kept putting it off. This is the first book I have read by Tiffany D. Jackson. Based on it I want people to put respect on her name. We are introduced to Enchanted and based on reviews I knew this book was like a R.Kelly story. I'm oing say this people might call Enchanted naive and stupid or felt she could have done more, but that is easier said then done. First, she was expected to be a parent to her younger siblings that she didn't give birth to just because she is the oldest. As a older sister I know how that fells and to want to live life, but have to grow up quickly. So, when Korey came around and was feeding her all of this information including freedom I understood completely on behalf of Enchanted 🤷🏾♀️. Not to mention she wanted to take care of her family. Speaking of family I didn't like Enchanted parents at first. They basically wanted there daughter to be a babysitter and then she became there cashcow. They didn't realize anything was wrong until it was to late, but I am glad they supported her and started to understand her more towards the end of the book. As for Korey. Hated Him. Disliked Him. & Despied Him. I wanted to see him be held accountable for what he did, but he wasn't, however, I am happy his victims got a voice. The reason I didn't give the book a five star because scenes where there could have been a plot it wasn't taken advantage of. To add on, somethings were forgotten. I wanted Koreys murder scene and leading up to it to be longer. Also, the conflict around it wasn't shown much and Richies and Jessica's reasoning made absolutely no since at all to me. I also wanted to know what happened to Derrick? Was it Enchanted in that video? Did Enchanted see Korey that that "concert"? But, the book was amazing and I still would re-read it. The twist and turns finding out Enchanted was not mentally ill and people were playing against her was crazy 😳 . Not to mention the twist st the end 😱. I had to go back and read it again because I wasn't sure if that was true and I read it correctly. This book was great and talked about a series issue that affects the world. This man groomed this young girl and held her against her will. He used his money to control her and her family. Read this book and see what women and men talk about because it is a huge narrative that is true within America.
