This review is from: In Those Jeans (Paperback)
Chantel Jolie's debut novel, In Those Jeans, was one jaw-dropping moment after another. The beautiful Chanel Martinez was not your average hit-em up chick. Sure, she wanted and needed someone to take care of her, but she was not above going out and making it rain money on her own.
Desperate times called for desperate measures as we opened up this story to find Chanel being dumped by her man before he sponsored a much needed trip to Brazil. That did not stop her though. She financed her own trip and upon her return to Hot-Lanta, with no where to go, Chanel did what she did best; hustled to survive.
Just as times got a little rougher for her, in stepped Samuel; a fine Jamaican brother with a here one moment, gone the next accent. Chanel knew she had a keeper. But in order to keep him, she had to keep one life-shattering secret to herself. Little did she know, Samuel had a devastating secret of his own.
Chantel Jolie has the makings of an awesome street-lit writer. In Those Jeans was consistent, smooth flowing, exciting, and everything made sense. Well almost everything. There were a few grammatical issues and I was not fond of the typesetting. Still, the plot was tight, the characters were believable, and the material was fresh. I recommend In Those Jeans to urban fiction/street-lit fans.
