Sins & Secrets

Being a African American woman, I thought the book was very well written. I really enjoyed this book.

THIS BOOK WAS A ONE DAY READ FOR ME

I personally like this book very much. The characters were a bit course but I think thats what made it interesting. I also thought it was an unique touch the way the author talked directly to the reader. She had some valuable insite for the reader especially when she spoke to the fact that the other woman thinks she has something when she gets your man. But deep down she is looking for him to do the same thing to her because of the way she got him. That is so true. As far as the hot, heavy sex and mushiness....Hello!!! this wasnt suppose to be a romance novel. I found it with the mainstream books. As far as the secrets and sins were concerned they were definitely there. I dont know if I would be able to keep a secret like the one Candice and Amber had to keep for life. And what about Toi and the secret she has on Johnny? That was a whopper, now I would like to think I would make a different choice when faced with what Toi faced. God knows I hope I would but who knows. I have known a many women to turn a blind eye to Toi's situation. Now Fred was just a horny freak and wasnt use to women telling him No. I mean really how easy was it for him to do Candice and the others. He wasnt in love....his problem was strictly ego. So what... there was no major drama between Fred, Candice and Michael. I feel like if its over then its over and you dont have time to entertain foolishness and Candice knew Fred was foolish. So why entertain him and his issues. I would have preferred the N-word not being used so much but I think that just let you know them. One thing for sure you can take the girl out of the ghetto but you cant take the ghetto out of the girl. I dont care how successful you are in business or how much money you may have, that still does not give you class. As I use to hear my mother say all the time "if Horsey aint got it then Horsey cant trot it". These girls were successful and had money, but they didnt have class. It was still entertaining though and I know people like every character. I for one thought the book was very good and I cant wait for the sequel.

A Quick Read

I actually enjoyed this book. Carolyn did well for her very first book. Candice, Amber, and Toi were all insane but they were there for one another through thick and thin. I found that incredibly interesting. I love my two best friends dearly but I couldn't or wouldn't kill for them. LOL I'll admit, parts of her story were hard to swallow. Overall, I'd give it 4 stars.

Different Opinions

I personally thought this book was worth my money and a good read. Everyone has different opinions, different storylines catch some people's attention, and some people have indifferent interests for their choice of fiction.

Excellent Read

I could not put this book down. The story line captured my attention from Page 1 and had me wanting more at the end. Great Book....
