Cold Inside Us II: The Tides of a Third World Triangular Friendship

"The drama surrounding the lives of three friends, Burch, MJ and Ami, continues to unfold in Cold Inside Us Book 2, revealing the amazing talent of Jamaican author Tabitha Smith.

She has developed a moving plot that keeps the reader engaged along with characters whose emotions and thoughts connect with the reader. And at the backdrop of such an incredible story, are the powerfully penned themes of disenchantment, youthful desires, grief, tragedy, friendship and hope. A brilliant tale that can easily be coined a 'must read'." Sherell Bernard"Once again, I have to laud Tabitha on a next well written book.

One decisive factor of a successful novel is that it brings about social reforms.

This page turner addresses the issues of stigmatization, and another prevalent problem that is hushed by society because of its gruesome nature.

Despite the serious issues that the book addresses; it is still very entertaining.

Like most thrillers; this book instills a feeling of foreboding towards impending doom.

Cold Inside Us book II, a very interesting odyssey of three friends making the best of whatever life throws their way.

The fortitude of the narrator is really admirable, as it communicates good character traits to teenagers.

It is a definite must read." Oneil Clarke"Cold Inside II, follows the lives of Burch, MJ and Ami, who, although are struggling individually with their personal lives, they still find time to bond and share mutual love and respect for each other.

From the onset, their stories take you on a rollercoaster of emotions, as it serves up a mix of happiness, grief, anxiety, anger and suspense in the mind of the reader.

Additionally, there is a sense of family and a community of support which is a key ingredient in the story.

The storyline is relatable and aspects of it can be found in the typical home environment, as it reflects the reality of many teenagers, especially here in Jamaica; if one only cares enough to look.

Overall, the book is manageable and is a refreshing change from the usual teenage romance novels.

It has depth and is quite profound. Above all, the language is appropriate for its targeted audience." Shanique Leslie"I must say "Cold Inside Us " books are both interesting and fun to read.

As a Jamaican teen, I liked how the stories captured our 'now-a-days' society.

I especially, liked how these friends helped out each other as much as possible without even knowing it.

It brought to life hope and life lessons. It is amazing
