Pouring Over Books Bookclub: Confessions of a Video Vixen

The First Half

Ok friends. I have one thought so far…

What. The. Fuck. ( pardon my language)

OMG.

You guys. I know the 90s and early 2000s were crazy. I lived it. I know how men and women functioned in the 90s and it was DYSFUCTIONAL.

But I was listening to this with my jaw on the floor for the first few chapters and then clutching my pearls with my face screwed up by the time I got to 50%.

What did I just listen to?

I have so many thoughts on her mama, her Daddy, Kool G MF Rap, and ICED T.

My question for all of us today is :

What were your initial thoughts about Karrine as she shared her early life experiences? Did you find her relatable, sympathetic, or frustrating? Why?

Personally, at the beginning of the book, I was like: am I reading the wrong book? Because everything that I thought I knew…the book wasn’t a reflection of that. Her mama was awful, the rape had me traumatized. The boyfriend’s mama had her stripping. I felt so sorry for the trauma of her life.

Especially when it moved on to Kool G Rap and that whole…debacle of a relationship. I mean, a man with a Daddy kink…always has issues friends. Always.

But after she got to LA I felt like I was reading a completely different book and it gave me whiplash. I was like OHHHHHH I SEEEEEEE.

I’m going to probably finish this book today in between meetings because I just can’t help myself LOL
