Janine A. Morris bursts onto the fiction scene with a page-turning novel featuring three smart, sexy African American divas: Dakota, Chrasey, and Jordan. Best friends since college, these thirty-something native New Yorkers have seen it allβor so they think. Because as theyβre discovering, their wild school days have nothing on the dramas of adulthoodβ¦ Do the thrills of youth have to end after a certain age? With her thirty-first birthday around the corner, Dakota doesnβt think so. Sheβs a successful marketing executive who still believes in sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Tyreek, her on-and-off man, is successful in his own right, making his money in the music industry. The idea of settling down has come up once or twice between them, but Dakota isnβt sure Tyreek is quite ready for thatβalthough sheβs beginning to think that she finally is. The challenge will be getting her lifestyle to line up with her dreamsβ¦ Chrasey has been happily married to Keith for nine years. They have two children and a house in Queens, but lately Chrasey senses problems. Keithβs not himself, and sheβs feeling neglected. Chrasey is a firm believer in upholding her wedding vows, but after months of temptation from a handsome younger man, she finds herself becoming something she never thought sheβd be: married and unfaithful. As much as Chrasey wants her old life back, some messes are easier to get into than out of... Jordan, the most sensible of the trio, has adopted the mother role, although even good girls have their demons. Jordan lives with her husband and son on Long Island and has worked hard for her success as a lawyer. But with a husband who didnβt sign up for glitz and glamour, Jordan has to walk a fine line to balance her personal and professional livesβ¦a line thatβs blurred when she begins spending too much time with a male colleague. Ultimately, Jordan must decide what her priorities areβbut the wrong choice could cost more than she wants to pay. From the sweet to the bittersweet, lifeβs dramas will play out one way or another. And one way or another, the secrets these women share will strengthen the bonds of sisterhood that help them survive it all...
