Heartfelt Story of Grief, Family and Releationships
I was very excited to read Sharina Harris' book "Judge's GIrls" just from the excerpt itself. What I thought would be a book filled with fluff but heart warming moments, turned into a much deeper, realistic book, which I very much enjoyed. I loved Harris' use of POV for each chapter and how early on she made sure you knew the voices of Maya, Ryder and Jeanie and how distinct they were.
The character arcs were very well thought out and felt neither rushed or dragged out. Harris had this whole book so well planned out that I found no holes in development. I will note, I wish we got more about Jeanie's struggle during rehab dealing with alcohol with drawl as I felt it would've shown her realizing her mistakes a little clearer.
When I mention this book is deeper than I assumed, it means it goes into the realistic aspects of losing someone and not in a Hallmark way. The whole scene with Jeanie and Vic in their apartment is a good example. I also appreciated how Harris brought up topics that otherwise would've been passed over in other books (ex. Alston arguing about his and Ryder's age difference) and made sure to play out the pros and cons of each situation.
Overall, I very much enjoyed "Judge's Girls" and recommend it to anyone who would enjoy a light drama with hints of humor.
