GRR Reviews The Awesome Girl's Guide to Dating Extraordinary Men by Ernessa T. Carter

Thursday: daughter of a former rapper star, she knew the price of betrayal... when her mom one day drove herself off a cliff after divorce. But she wanted to write, and falling for a movie star, muchless one of her girl friend's ex, is not in the plan...

Risa: skinny punk rocker, bold and audacious, but she only loved one person... but she's so closeted, NO ONE knew they were an item... Except for them, and a very loyal fake boyfriend

Sharita: BBW accountant, swore she wanted only black men... until she fell for a white guy, who has his own secrets...

Tammy: terribly afraid of disappointing her rich family, she dated a movie star for a while, but she's hiding two terrible secrets... even as she struggled to find her own way in life, after getting fired from her family company.

Part chick-lit, part anthology, and plenty of heart. This is four intertwined stories about four best friends (all black) in college that lasted. Ten years later, and over a period of two years, their relationships will be tested to the brink. Several will have their hearts broken, several find their love in unexpected directions. And one will lose her life...
