C.B hosts Our Lit Chicks Book ToastSaturday, June 15, 2013 |
We got right into the discussion of Porshe...like the car...Santiaga, the second born child to Ricky Santiaga.
Many of us felt the story moved very slow through the first half and that Porshe spent too much time on the reservation. We also discussed if this story was believable. How could a child encounter and accomplish all the things Porshe did at such a young age: taking care of her drugged out mother, being out on the streets of Brooklyn at night, juggling multiple jobs, and saving $20,000. Others said they could relate. Growing up on the East Coast, Porshe's story was like everyday life.
Having read The Coldest Winter Ever first, we now see Winter from a different perspective. We felt sorry for her and were rooting for her to grow up and finally get it. After reading A Deeper Love, how do you feel about Winter now?
Throughout the book, I found myself asking the question, 'Where is Suri?' Lit chick S.T. believes that Porshe’s friends on the reservation were fake. What do you think?
Lit Chick T.J felt Porshe had a serious eating disorder along with multiple personalities. Who agrees?
Lit Chick L.M had a great alternate ending. What if Porshe was actually in a mental home and fantasized the whole story?
No doubt, A Deeper Love was an excellent read. The book got 9 out 9 cheers!
Why I choose this book: I picked the book because it was the long awaited/anticipated follow up to Sista Souljah's first book, The Coldest Winter Ever. I knew it was going to be good based on the way The Coldest Winter ended. I was right, the book did not disappoint!
