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

The Colors of Friendship (Colors Trilogy, #1)The Colors of Friendship by K.R. Raye
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I don’t know where to begin. This whole time whilst reading this novel I was thinking that something was going on between Melody and Kevin, even more sinister than what really happens, though I will not give anything away. This author truly had my mind running around in circles, wondering what was going to happen next. I thoroughly love the kinship that the three of them share, being Imani, Lance, and Melody, certainly one to be cherished, as chosen family is so special in so many ways.

I did feel like this novel seemed to go on a little longer than it needed to, as I did find myself thinking that this is where the climatic part was, and this is where it was going to be, and so on. I do find this to be a common occurrence within the pages of a first installment, taking away from holding my breath at times. The pressures pressed upon us by other scenarios and expectations as we enter adulthood are made very apparent in this novel, which I applaud. I will be reading the rest of the series and looking forward to getting to know the other characters more intimately. Well done!

3.5 stars

Trigger warning – there is domestic violence/an abusive relationship.

Lance, Imani and Melody meet and instantly click. The Colors of Friendship is about friendship, watching the characters grow as individuals and become besties. It is about their journey through good times and bad times and times that will test their friendship.

Lance wants to have fun and is our resident sports jock and any lady will do man and makes no apologies but he would do anything for his two besties.

Imani is sassy, sarcastic and serious about her study and loyal friend. She had me laughing at her banter.

Melody is naïve and a fairy tale romantic at heart and sees the best in people leading to her falling for the biggest a’hole who is good at masking who he is. This took up most of the book which I found to be a slow read in the start but picked up near the end. I also found it hard to relate to/invest in her a lot of the time because she spent a lot of time in the clouds and wanted to shake her to wake up.

When things take a turn for the worst Melody will need her friends more than ever.
