Devonte is your typical young man from the hood. Nicole would give anything necessary for him and vice versa. She's been there through all the ups and downs. She understands him...so why can't he treat her right?




Life has a way of catching up to you, whether it's good or bad. What goes around comes around. We've all been in at least one bad relationship that was toxic or taught us a life lesson. Anyone can relate to The Way that I Love You, whether you've lost someone, had a bad relationship, in the streets, been hurt or betrayed, you'll be able to find some version of yourself in at least one character. Those who share experiences with the characters will find comfort in that and feel like they aren't alone and they can change their situation.
