Avail Yourself The Prada Plan (The Prada Plan, #1) Written By Ashley Antoinette Readily Available As Audiobook
the name Ashley Antoinette may not ring a quick bell for some, if you throw JaQuavis in the mix, you will understand that the two have made up some of the best street lit fiction to hit the shelves.
With The Prada Plan we welcome Ashleys solo debut,
At the tender age ofDisaya, better known as Yaya handily learns the quality of couture and the importance of having a plan in life, a Prada Plan.
Disaster strikes Yayas world when both parents are eliminated, and is suddenly forced to forget an existence where she is the center jewel of their heart, Yaya is immediately defaulted to being a foster child, where she endures nightly molestation by her foster Mothers son, Being raped of her innocence at, the only piece of hope and spirit she has left is the echoing of her Mothers voice and her new companion, soon to be sister for life, Mona.

I gave Prada Planstars, while a couple situations in my opinion were unrealistic even in fiction form the story and bombshell situations were enough to make me smile at the work of a mastermind in street lit.
With pending answers, and the outcome of characters to be left unanswered I am desperately waiting for part, Pick of Prada Plan, you surely will not be disappointed,
I could bash this, but it was actually really interesting reading something with a target audience so far outside my demographic, OK first of all I will like to say is this book is RAW, So for you sensitive people read carefully, It tells the story of a girl whose mother has been shot by a jealousy lover and a father who was the Pimp, that has been sent to jail for her death.
She is placed in foster care at the age ofand becomes very close to another young lady the same age because they are being rapped by the foster mothersyear old son EVERY night until they arewhen he brutally beats and tries to rape the friend.
The foster mother and YaYa walks in on this and decides to burn the house down when the foster mother blames them for what has happened all those years, with the foster mother and son in it.
They go on to survive on the streets and becomeyrs olds only to fall into the ring of prostution that causes one friend to become HIV positive and the other to meet up with a crazy woman that will do anything to have YaYa as her very own.
But YaYa does not get down like that and leaves her for a guy that has taught her that she is more then that and needs to respect herself and makes her feel like she is worth something.
The crazy woman and I do mean crazy, kills the new found guy brother after she makes herself look like YaYa on tape and sends it to him, He beats YaYa half to death and leaves her only to get caught up with the crazy woman, Read to find out more!! I do believe this is a good FICTIONAL for some of you read that is just plan ol entertaining, It is not supposed to be REAL life down to somebody saying, “Oh snap that happened to me too!” and who knows maybe it did, Come on people. For real! Lets not take the book and dissect it page by page, paragraph by paragraph, If that is the cause, I am still waiting for that clown in It by Stephen King to come out the sewer and get me! OMG! You write something and lets see how that goes! I look forward to part.
THIS BOOK SUCKS!!!!!!! BY FAR THE MOST SUCKIEST BOOK I'VE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE TO COME ACROSS, READING THIS TELLS ME THAT MS, ANTOINETTE HAS NO TALENT WHATSOEVER,
IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM WITH MY FEELINGS TOWARDS THIS BOOK THEY CAN KISS MY ASS, OH, AND HAVE A GREAT DAY! :
Okay here goes, I'm extremely dissappointed in this book, Ashley's writing, the plot, the characters, pretty much everything included in this debut, Of course this is the first book in a series that was a must given the series loving authors out there today particularly in the urbanfiction genre, I just wish they would stick to only making a sequel if the first book is actually GOOD, I have doubts I'll even pick the sequel for this up, If I do, it'll be because I'm wondering if she's gotten any better on her own,
Ashley Antoinette is "Ashley" from Ashley amp JaQuavis, Together, they make great books, Alone, the one half I can speak on as of yet leaves a lot to be desired,
Here we go folks:
The Prada Plan the plot eh, What can I say. It was borderline decent and a better author may have been able to do more with it but either way it's severely lacking,
Leah not the main character but she's the crazy one, How many people want to guess the biggest situation that shows Leah's craziness No one I'll just tell it then Leah is sitting in front of a mirror doing her lipstick anyone know where this is going yet, she's thinking about how Disaya supposedly played her and what does she do She keeps drawing on the lipstick.
Over and over and over again, Yes, I'm quite serious everyone, "With the lipstick in her hand, she continued to apply layer after layer, making her circle wider and wider, until red lipstick was painted all over her face, " That's a sentence from the book by the way, I'm embarressed to even retype it personally, A child could come better than that,
Um, I'm not sure what all Ashley knows about drugs but from what I do know, cocaine doesn't make you fall asleep, Heroin Sure. Not coke. Sorry Ashley. That just made the story a little more idiotic in my opinion,
Another example: Leah whispers into Indie's ear when he's asleep, supposedly "programming" him to where she wants him to be, "Don't be a fool. You're taking care of a bitch that you're not even with, She killed you're brother. Put that bitch out on her ass and sell your house, " Real sentences again by the way, How stupid can one situation in a story actually be It's not even attempted to be realistic at all, Oh, by the way, the next morning Indie called the realator and sold his house, Of course.
I'm not even sure I can go here but what the hell, I have to. I'll let this paragraph speak for itself,
'"Oww!" she shrieked, She felt something slip between her legs an, and when she lifted the covers, she quickly put them back down, "Oh, my God. Oh, my God," she chanted as she lifted the sheets again and saw a huge mass of blood, mucus, and an undeveloped human body between her legs, '
Do I actually need to say anything else What is this science fiction all of a sudden I was under the impression this was supposed to be realistic, I almost threw the book in the trash when I read that stupid ass simple sentence,
The ending to the story was absolutely horrible, I read this days ago and couldn't even bring myself to review it right away, I'm sure I could have given more samples of how utterly horrible this book is but I don't want to rack my brain anymore, I'm disgusted.
It's as if JaQuavis has been carrying her this entire time and I for one, feel blindsided, When I see a book with two names on it I have to assume they are BOTH the authors, From what I can see from this book and what I've read from them before Ashley was being piggybacked the entire time, Although YaYa parents lifestyle was not the best I'm sure it would've turned out better then not having them in her life, YaYa and Mona endured so much pain and abuse which caused a spiral of downfalls throughout their life, Everyone desires a chance to make their wrongs , right,
Yaya's moment came in Vegas when Indie gave her the courage to change for the better she should've left the game at that very moment, Leah is scorned and possessive , what happened in Leah's life to cause her to be so bitter Karma is kicking butt and doubling back around,
Indie got caught slipping , he broke his own rules he should've never took Leah to his grandmas house or trusted her with his personal responsibility which lead to a baby.
She was suppose to be a one nighter which turned to a live in baby mama,
I can't wait to read Prada Plan, Leah needs to be stopped she's out of control,
Disaya Morgan, a character first introduced in Girls from Da Hood, returns in this gritty tale of a moneyhungry woman who finds her life spinning out of control.
When Disaya meets Indie and falls hopelessly in love, she is determined to keep her lifestyle a secretbut everything done in the dark eventually comes to light, When she loses control of her own hustle, things go horribly wrong, and she learns the hard way that, in the game she's playing, there are no winners, This book was too much! My emotions are all over the place, Leah is a monster. I read this book back inwhen I wasand thought it was amazing, So amazing that when I saw it in the store i picked it up to reread it, BIG MISTAKE. The storyline is wildly unrealistic and over the top, Now I've read majority of this series so I know more of what Leah's motives were, But I just kept finding myself sighing and shaking my head at how immature everyone really is in the story and I mean everyone, Does no one notice that Disaya and Indie meet once before deciding they're so in love with each other, and they're engaged and expecting all in under a few months of knowing each other.
year old me ate it up, butyear old me is not about it at all! Let me start by saying that I might have rated this book better if I read it instead of listening to the audiobook.
The author needs to invest more money and upgrade on readers, The background sounds in the book running up stairs, people being slapped, cars speeding away, comical. The plot is horrible and should have been thought through a little better, Ive read way better urban drama than this and def wouldnt recommend this book to anyone else, Im still trying to figure out why this book was rated so high, I only read this because I'm in a book club, This isn't the type of fiction that I dig, Nothing about this book should be considered deep, But if you are looking for a mindless unrealistic read, . . then do I have a book for you, Omg. . This chick Leah is a total PSYCHO, . I had a feeling all of the players in this were connected to Dynasty in some way, . On to part. . I'm not sure I was ready for Yaya's story to be this dramatic, When it rains it pours in a Ashley Antoinette story, DNF. Couldn't relate to subject matter, No judgments just not interested in pimps and hos, Foolishly thought the story arc was more about rags to riches, revenge and redemption, especially after such a stark beginning with foster care and sexual abuse, These characters are something else, Bitter females do disgusting things, Watch the company you keep, I will be reading Book, Great series! emotional,thought provoking storyline,amazing characters and writing paperback! Whew! Loved it!
Let me get started on book, I'm looking for Ethic But Laila needs her ass beat, Really good book, I listened on audio and it really pulled me in! I was rooting for YaYa the whole way through and praying for Leah's demise, Leah showed she was a cold hearted, unfeeling, deceitful person over an over again, I just can't imagine all that evilness stemmed from obsession and rejection, I definitely have to pick up partand see what more havoc Leah can wreak and how things play out with YaYa and Indy, I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good urban lit book with street drama, a love story and back stabbing, The Prada Plan was truly a fictional story book, Many parts of the story was left out such as: what happen to the girls after the
house was burned down, They were onlyyears old, The Streets wasn't the only place they had for shelter, Where were the parent's relatives, If you fall from a three story level building, . there are bound to be more than a spine injured such as something seriously external injured, Again, the book was a overly dramatic and unrealistic store, But, I must say it was funny and entertaining, Like the way this book end, . . ridiculously stupid putting a baby at the grave site, Wow I'm glad iDidn't read this book when it first came out because iWoulda been too pissed if iHad to wait on the Part, The book was great! Filled with drama on pretty much every page, iHave a few suggestion for the actual medical things that goes on in the book, but that could be because iWork in that field, Overall, great book! This book was okthis author absolutely has a way of pulling you into the story and holding you hostage, The beginning of this book almost made me not read the whole thing, It was difficult to get through I skipped some of it because it was so graphic and detailed with the kids rape, Overall the book was good once you get past that point, I just feel that it didnt need to be so graphic, I had no intentions of finishing this book, I thought I would just read a few pages to past the time, I was wrong Yayas story had me hooked on page one, This booked is filled with drama, lies and murder, I like how the Author entwined characters from the past into their present, Im looking forward to reading book Two, I dont like Leah but I need to know whats going to happen next, If you are looking for a good drama book to read, . . here you go. .
