The Carter Boys by Desirée
A Review By: DWP
Sex, love, drugs, and music are just a few of the Carter boys’ daily dealings. Drama follows them everywhere, especially being the largest, most dangerous organization the city of Atlanta has ever seen. The women who want to be with them and the men who want to be just like them can easily get lost in the shuffle when the target is constantly moving to a new Carter’s back.
So, what happens when a slick-mouth girl from Brooklyn decides to go off to college in the unofficial capital of the South? She is quickly introduced to the Atlanta lifestyle, where “Bruh” is part of every other sentence; dreaded ‘fros are a must; hot lemon pepper wings are law; west side accents are always thicker; nobody says ATL unless they’re from out of town; HBCU life is unlike any other; and most importantly, it’s all about family. In particular, it’s all about the Carter family. Without the Carters, there is no Atlanta.
Review Notes:
Audio Book Publication Year: 2019
An installment in a Series? Yes
Narrator (s): Misty Reign
Desirée brought an interesting take to the world of HBCUs, and the construction of this story is something completely new to read. The characters were funny and completely unique. This story took you on a ride from beginning to end.
Misty Reign did a good job with this story. As the only narrator, she brought the characters to life. The story is very character driven so Misty had to keep a lot of energy and bring the swag to the characters. She caught all their personalities and the little quirks they seemed to have. Listening to this story was a true pleasure. The mess in this story will have you on another level all by itself, but Misty definitely elevated the experience. This was my first time listening to Misty Reign, but it won't be my last; however, her men's voices could be better.
