The Colors of Friendship (The Colors Trilogy Book 1) by K.R. Raye – Review by Shelly Kittell

The Colors of Friendship by K.R. Raye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book was a pretty intense, emotional ride. Three young friends in college end up on a scary adventure noone really wants to be on. Lance is sowing his oats. Imani is just trying to decide what she wants and her plan. She doesn’t even know that Trevor is in love with her. Melody, naive and believing in romantic fairy tales, is preyed upon by a controlling abusive boyfriend. Her friends are just trying to watch out for her. Who will she believe? This stuff breaks up friendships. Can they survive this. You have got to read this book. It’s one of the best fiction books I’ve read this year. This maybe a trigger for some. I could relate to all three, especially Melody, as I’ve had my share of those relationships in my younger years. This is one of those stories where you feel what they feel all the way to your soul. Melody is basing her view of romance off her parents marriage. Not naive, just not a realistic picture. She puts herself in danger and yet doesn’t listen when her friends are pointing out red flags. Imani and Lance are great friends who place themselves right there in dangers way when required. The plot was well-written with twists where needed. I found it to be very realistic but also inspiriting because her friends wouldn’t give up. The characters are very well-developed. It was nice to get a look into the families over the summer. Keeping the mystery of Kevin was a nice touch. The detective in me wants to know more about who he is. Great story, I’m looking forward to finishing the series.
