Book Review – Torn by Keisha Ervin by Triple Crown Publications

October 13, 2011 · Book Reviews · ·

Torn follows the bittersweet relationship between lovestruck Mo and eternal-playboy Quan. The line between right and incorrect in their relationship is hazy because Mo and Quan have invested nearly a decade of like, time and cash in each other. Although the fruits of Quan’s hustling is visible in the expensive house, cars and clothes, Mo would trade it all for a right bond of like from his heart to hers.

Mo’s father and her acquaintances, Quan’s mother, and even Mo’s own intuition tell her to go on, but her desire for Quan controls her actions. Quan, on the other hand, knows he isn’t right, yet explodes at the very thought of Mo maybe being unfaithful. Their relationship is at once passionate and pathetic, maintenance you absorbed page after page. While they are saying “Yes, yes, yes!”, you will be cringing and saying, “No, no, no!” When you add baby-momma-drama, shady acquaintances and other like interests, Mo and Quan are forced to make life-changing decisions that will test whether or not they are soul mates.

Keisha Ervin’s latest spin on like, life and lies is nothing less than incredible. Torn is street literature in its finest form. Keisha Ervin has written a report transcends its environment. Gunshots, crackheads and drug lords have been replaced with the sleepless nights, the phone calls that need to be full in private and heart-to-heart advice that may hit home for some of the readers. There is even guest appearances by sisters Mina and Meesa, from Keisha Ervins’s National Best Promotion Novels Mina’s Joint and Me & My Boyfriend respectively.

Keisha Ervin’s Torn has added on to her remarkable repertoire and is a yet another Best Seller in the making, following Chyna Black, Me & My Boyfriend, Mina’s Joint and Hold U Down. If you came across “After The Storm” in Triple Crown’s second anthology Street Like, Torn is the spectacular expansion on that small report. This is not book for quick consumption like an item off the dough menu. Instead, this book is full of substance, a tale that you will not mind taking time to read and digest.
