Uglass

The Intrusive Thoughts Of A Melanin Queen | Complete Series, Book 1-6

By: Rod Palmer

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Imagine being the most beautiful woman in the world, and no one seems to notice.

Called Uglass, as a child, for her dark skin, Tahj Thompson learned early to tune out the haters. The duckling was never ugly. She goes on to become a fashion model, and yet men on her pay grade ain’t even checkin’ for her. Not that it matters. Tahj’s true love is NFL player Fletcher Lewis. But here’s the caveat: they’re best friends.

When romantic tension arises, telepathy kicks in; conversations pass within their gaze. There are legitimate reasons that keep Tahj and Fletcher from being together, but no reason more pressing than Riley Purlieu, another longtime friend and model who happens to be light-skinned. Unlike Tahj, Riley has enjoyed the spoils of beauty; men fall at her feet and she always seems to get what she wants. But will it be Fletcher?

In this intimate, first-person, true-to-life telling, the spite is so visceral that no one gets away unscathed, but at the same time, this page-turner presents hard-hitting drama paired with the story of a love that's so tender it's falling off the bone.

This is a complete 6 book novel series released in one book.

The storyline was great

It would have been better if it was read by someone instead of it being virtually read.

Relatable and Entertaining

The storyline kept on giving. There were moments that seem as if the drama would peter out and BAM, we right back in it. AI reading got a little annoying because AI is not quite as intelligent as we need it to be so you had to think hard to relate the AAVE to what the reader tried to say. Nevertheless, as a dark skinned woman, the story was relevant. Maybe too relevant. Extremely interesting and a nonstop listen. Ready to listen to another from this author.
