Keshawn is a street smart hustler that has his own problems with his mother forcing him into the game, the dangers that he encounters in the streets, and the people around him that he trusts less and less each day. After meeting Marie, he decides he wants to get out of the game so he enlists the help of Marie and her family, and asks Marie to become his safe girl. Although, Marie doesn’t know what this entails she agrees to help Keshawn. This decision will flip Marie’s reality upside down and catapult her into a life that she is not prepared to enter. Keshawn tries to protect Marie from the consequences of street life, but that is a promise that he can’t really keep.
Will Keshawn and Marie end up together or will they succumb to the pressures of the game that threaten to tear them apart?

The Review:
For those of us no longer in high school Alexis Cherie
Norwood takes for trip down memory lane. Marie is very intelligent with a
promising future but with a broken home and love for Keshawn , who’s in the
drug game, she is bound to slip.
This book contains excellent character development as I
found myself relating to many of the characters within. I found myself feeling sorry
for Marie when dealing with mentally unstable mother and wanting to smack some
sense in her when she goes back on her word and keeps allowing Keshawn in her
life.
Bittersweet is an excellent read which I highly recommend for
teen girls and adults. At times I was drawn back to when I read The Coldest
Winter Ever and Fly Girl. I look forward to continuing on with the rest of the
books in this series.
