"...Blend a 21st-century New Adult version of Waiting to Exhale and "Girlfriends" with candid revelations about traumatic injuries of the spirit reminiscent of For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide/When the Rainbow is Enuf. Toss in the caustic wisdom of seasoned women a la "Golden Girls" or "Grace and Frankie" into a sometimes exclamatory narrative style familiar to fans of Sophie Kinsella to create this endearing tale that's provocative, funny, and emotionally satisfying..."  - Cardyn Brooks of BlerdyBingeReader and MediaDiversified.org (4-star review)

"Absolutely lovely story. First it starts like a basic rom-com but then you get so much more out of the characters. So much love in it. Pointing at real problems of our society. I loved it and can't wait for the second volume!" - NetGalley Reviewer (4-star review)

"Amazing book with fully fleshed characters and a solid plot. I couldn't put this book down! Utterly amazing! I will read it again in the future." - NetGalley Reviewer (4-star review)

"I guess that on some days, and maybe for some, every day, people other than me could be found walking into their workplace pretending to be someone they're not...

...Today was my first time feeling so acutely aware of that disconnect."

Thirty-three-year-old Tabitha Walker thought she was living her "best life" completely under control.  She had Marc, her sexy, smooth and successful "paper-perfect" Porsche-driving boyfriend; a coveted position as a local news reporter; and weaving it all together, a standing hair appointment with a reliable stylist.
 
But it's funny how life can interrupt even the best planning.

Tabitha's fortunes take a turn when she learns that the family she always hoped for could slip away -- and not just because Marc has been slow to propose.

When her otherwise enviable body starts to fail in a surprising way, Tabitha must embark on a journey, supported by colorful family and friends, to reclaim her own quirky version of "black girl magic" before the unexpected takes more from her than just her dreams of becoming a wife and mother.

A well-written and relatable "chocolate chick lit" dramatic comedy -- perfect for fans of Terri McMillan, Sophie Kinsella, Trisha R. Thomas, Eric Jerome Dickey, Omar Tyree, E. Lynn Harris, Kimberla Lawson Roby.
