About this listen
A crippled economy changes Lola Jones' silver-spoon status to copper and threatens to rip her sheltered family from the upper echelons of society, dropping them into the rotten bowels of East St. Louis. Only one thing can save Lola's children from the claws of poverty, and that comes in the form of a million-dollar life insurance policy. It is, however, just a useless piece of paper unless she's dead. With that in mind, Lola vows to make the ultimate sacrifice for her children's well-being.
There are two problems - she doesn't have the guts to kill herself, and her insurance doesn't pay out on suicides. With only days left before her family learns the true meaning of homelessness, Lola turns to Blase, a desensitized hit man with a "no turning back" policy, to execute her murder. To foot Blase's upfront bill, Lola seeks prostitution. It's not long before the hole she's dug gets deeper.
Living on the erotic edge leads her to an unforgettable sexual encounter with Mannish Major, a lonely married man with skeletons swinging in his closet. Their tryst explodes into a full-blown love affair that renews Lola's will to live. But not even a budding romance will cancel the expiration date Blase has set on Lola's soul. Now Lola and Mannish must make a final and desperate attempt to stop the hit man, or else they will die trying.

Unfinished....
This story missed several opportunities to give the characters and the storyline much needed depth. It’s completely unfinished.The ending is a HUGE cliffhanger but I wasn’t bothered too much by it because I don’t think a sequel would be interesting enough for me to listen to.

The story line 🔥
I love the story and the plot twist 😮💨 but the narrator 🥴 not so much. The oldest son was a brat but I’ve never been in his shoes so I don’t understand the grief. He was old enough to understand the struggles tho. I love Mannish even tho he was an adulterer he was such a sweet soul. If him and Lola met in a different life I would enjoy their love story.
That blazay and his partner whew they was some rude boys that didn’t fck around.

You know what…
First let me say that unintentionally I cracked up quite a bit. The verbage alone was hilarious at times from a character. The reader did very little to define each character; I found myself rewinding a lot.
When it finally got into a quick read, pulse pounding octave…It dropped like a ton of balloons😏
