Chris was “dead” to his family and decide to risen up from the death. The beginning was very confusing at first, since i didn't know who the main character was. When we first meet Chris is very rude and disrespectful and we end the book like that as well. I love Jada and loved how the author approached the colorism and the favoritism in her family. I think we didn’t get a lot of the main characters together so i didn’t really feel their connection for each other together. The flashbacks bored me. It’s felt like a lot of info-dumping. I’m glad that Chris ended up working on himself but if i was Jada i wouldn't have forgive him and made him grovel. I also love the song choices as well. I wished they were also trigger warnings like miscarriage and colorism. Thank you for this opportunity!

LOVE SONG LYRICS by M. O. Kenyan had an interesting premise but faltered in the execution of the story. Chris’ family thinks that he is dead; he allows them to think that and holds great animosity towards his family members, even his twin brother Kris. While missing in action, Chris has time to meet a young woman named Jada and have a one-night stand with her. This encounter ends in pregnancy. A lot happens in this story, but the structure of the events is so disjointed that it is difficult for the reader to establish a timeline or trajectory. The story is all over the place and unfortunately never establishes a tone or a connection to the audience.
I voluntarily read a copy of this book from Netgalley and this review is of my honest opinion.
