It all started with a table game. Four friends from the black community in New Orleans with different backgrounds met in college and established a bond that is stronger than the bond of friends. They became sisters!

Trapped by Reese is a romance novel that depicts the lives of Naomi, Arnya, Stephanie, and Jasmine. The early chapters of this novel depict the lives they lived before college. Naomi came from a wealthy family and was home-schooled because she doesn't like crowds and couldn't stand the bullying in her school. Arnya grew up without a father and was eternally grateful to her mother for teaching her about humility. When she was able to get into college, she lost her mother. Stephanie was the rock of the group; she lived her life without her parents and was only trained by her grandmother, who taught her to be strong. And lastly, Jasmine. She was raised in a foster home, and she learned to be strong after being alone for too long. When all four girls lived under the same roof, they had their differences. Jasmine was jealous of Naomi because of the life she had, but she loved her and protected her from any threat she encountered. The question that lies here is: How would their friendship stand the test of time? Did Naomi and Jasmine become the best of friends among the group of four? To experience the drama and get answers to the question of trust, grab a copy of the novel Trapped by Reese.

The most enthralling and exciting concept of this novel was the author's narrative style; each major character was given a chance to narrate their experience from a first-person perspective. This method of storytelling doesn't only give information about the characters' lives but also elicits emotions from the readers while following the journey of each character in a novel. The relationship between Arnya and Shane was what moved me most in this novel; despite her setbacks, he didn't consider her a lost cause; he loved her still and treated her like an angel. This made Arnya feel special and made her love Shane more than ever. Another point that intrigued me in this novel was that each chapter had something new and unique to offer the readers. I had predictions of how this novel would end, but it didn't happen that way. I also enjoyed reading the dialogue between Stephanie and her grandmother; the author did a great work of art to employ the African-American language style in the novel. When I was reading their conversation, I was enthralled.

I didn't like the frequent sexual descriptions employed in this novel; I felt the novel didn't need much of the sexual descriptions and would still be interesting and fun to read. Apart from this particular dislike, there was nothing that I found dislikeable about this novel; I found each chapter interesting and exciting.

This novel deserves a rating of 5 out of 5 stars because of the author's storytelling ability. I would also ignore the dislike mentioned above because it is insignificant to the enjoyment of this novel. In my course of reading this novel, I noticed that it did not contain a single grammatical error, so I would therefore state that this novel has been thoroughly worked on and is exceptionally well edited.

Romance, love, and drama are the major genres used in this novel, so I would recommend this novel to readers who intend to experience the romance and drama between four female friends. I would also recommend this novel to older readers, as this novel is rated 18 and not suitable for readers below the age of 18 because of the use of sexual descriptions in it.

It is always nice to have friends that will always stand by you in any circumstance anytime, anywhere. Nice review.

[Sarah Kate Smith]

Four women from different backgrounds finally live under the same roof and know their differences. It seems like a book to read, and I guess there would be a lot of drama in it.

I love that the book is about four women coming together and making each other stronger. Many books that gave the concept of romance are always ready to show a perspective where women are against each other so this is refreshing.

[Kenny Geneva]
