I can&#8217;t add much more to the three hundred\u00a0plus,\u00a0five star reviews Ivy Symone has received already. All I can say is this, her character development, plot, pacing and comedic flare is outstanding.<\/p>\n<p><em>Crush<\/em> will probably remain as one of my favorites and on the top my list. I will never forget it.<\/p>\n<p>You are probably wondering, what is it that I loved so much about <em>Crush<\/em>?\u00a0Well, firstly, it was different. Secondly, Ivy Symone is an\u00a0extremely talented writer. Thirdly, her characters are so real, my favorite being, Jah. I fell in love with Jah.<\/p>\n<p>I would write more, but I don&#8217;t want to spoil it for you. Just trust and believe that once you start reading this book, you are not going to want to put it down.<\/p>\n<p>And that ending though&#8230; all I can say is Wow. I can&#8217;t wait to read <em>Crush 2,\u00a0<\/em>which will hopefully drop on August 7th.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/?attachment_id=3248\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-3248\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-3248\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ordinaryservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Ivy1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"188\" \/><\/a>Ivy Symone was born in Murfreesboro, TN, but was raised and resides in Nashville, TN.
