“I read this book and realized that this author has a gift. I felt like I was back in college with my first college sweet heart. I almost picked up the phone to give her a call. The emotion, and the realism the writer displayed was very unique. The relationship in the book between the 2 main characters is something that anyone can identify with. The young author Ashley Charisma has a promising future in writing, that I will enjoy reading hopefully for a long time to come.”

“It only took me a day to read this book, not because it was a short read, but because it was an enticing one. The book makes you mad, confused, happy, and sad; therefore, leaving each character to be relatable to the reader’s own life. I’m looking forward to her other works.”

“These writings are vivid and colorful. To read one is to have your senses opened in a way few literary pieces are capable of. How refreshing!”

She calls it the SCHOOL OF BLACK LOVE but it would cover just about anyone in a relationship who doesn’t know which direction to turn. She also intersperses poetry with the prose which makes for a very interesting read. It is definitely a must read for those starting out in a relationship they wish to keep alive.
