      It was good over all, I kept waiting to see what was around the corner, I wasn't sure how it was going to end.

      I am not a young black woman, but could still enjoy reading about the ups and downs of Nikki, who struggles with life (father who she never knew dies, contractor's scam forces her to move back in with mom), love (sneaking around with a married man, then meets handsome stranger who seems too good to be true), and work (hotel management) in Philadelphia. It seemed real enough until a twist at the end made me go, "Oh, come on." Still, it's fiction. The book jacket confused me by mentioning her friend "Kia" who was actually "Tia."

      I received this book as part of early reviewers. It was pretty obvious that this book was written for a certain reader demographic and I do not fit that demographic. However, the storyline did keep me interested although I found that I could not relate to the desperation these women felt. Their struggle to hang onto the 'best option' and to settle for any type of companionship painted a sad portrait of a single black woman's life. I found this to be a quick read although the blantent lack of correct grammar was irksome to me.

      I got this book as an early Reviewer. It was written by and for a certain genre and I am not of that genre. I am a white, married, middle-aged grandmother by now and although the book held my interest and I wanted to see what happened next, the lack of correct grammer just grated on my nerves throughout the book. Also, the poor choice of men and the womens' reasoning behind hanging onto (or trying to hang onto) these men was so faulty that I could not relate to any of them. Yes, I have certainly made bad choices in relationships and marriages, but I couldn't relate to the choices as bad as these women all made (married men, accidental unmarried pregnancies, thieves/druggies, etc..). Wow. I hope life as a single Black woman is really not as grim as this book makes it sound. I can't imagine so few choices, and mostly all bad, unethical, undeserving and liars. The very few that were not were not really appreciated by their "women" so were either accepted as "all that's left for me" or "the best I've been offered so far". The book painted a sad, sad and possibly desperate life for a single Black female.
