‘A Deeper Love Inside’ Book Review
I’ve come to the realization that when reviewing Sister Souljah’s books they have to be reviewed from two lenses: 1. Continuing the storyline of The Coldest Winter Ever (TCWE), and 2. As a completely separate story. When reviewing A Deeper Love Inside as a continuation of TCWE then there are many gaps and inconsistencies in…
