After a 40-year battle and finally reaching the top and sitting in the big chair at the end of the movie, Lawrence playing the character of Joy let the slight frown and strained smile on her face do the talking, and it seemed to be asking, “was the success worth it?” All the financial ups and downs and bankruptcies were one thing, but Joy showed what really stings entrepreneurs and sticks in their heart is after you give, give and give more, you always have these people come out of the woodwork to lay claim they are owed something. She had to beat them and all the usual startup hurdles to be successful. Through it all, whether ups or downs, the guys got the most important thing they wanted and shed so many tears of joy.The truth is some of her family members would rather have seen Joy as an unemployed, desperate housewife, than a successful entrepreneur. Baldhead is the truth!!! I loved that dude because his tactics were something serious! Every run in or situation they faced had me wanting to read more. It seemed as if the agents and detective would stop at nothing to build a case. I did feel bad for Danielle because had she contacted Black early enough and put him in the know, things may have been different. They held their men down regardless of what they did. Now Summer and Isabelle are the true definition of ride or dies.

I could've punched Black because he didn't seem to understand it was time to leave some of his ways alone. Damn Black got greedy and caused more problems than he bargained for and lost someone close in the process. I thought for sure Chrome and Black would get caught slipping a few times. After her voicemail I was too through with her! Wow the Mexican cartel started playing dirty as ever.

Out of all Chrome's girls, Kira worked my nerves the most because of her jealously. He was wrong and crossed Chrome for his own selfish reasons. Their occupations though?! I couldn't believe Hot Rod and how he tried to pull a fast one.

Black stayed involved in something, whereas Chrome was more of a thinker that got them out of certain situations. Yes Michael!!! I told you urban was more my speed and I loved this read!! There were some minor errors but it didn't take away from the story.
