発行者による作品情報
Dakota, Chrasey, and Jordan have been best friends since college. Now they're about to discover their wild school days have nothing on the dramas of adulthood. . .
As friends, Dakota, Chrasey, and Jordan are alike and dissimilar in many ways. Dakota is the only single one in the group. She and Jordan both thrive on their high-powered careers--and the men in their lives almost always come second. But when Dakota's boyfriend becomes more than she can handle, she realized that strength in the boardroom does not translate to the bedroom. Chrasey and Jordan have marriage in common--and the temptation to have an affair with two irresistible men. Now these three friends who have been through the best and worst times together, will have to rely on their strong bonds and trust the truth that lies buried deep within their hearts to discover who they really are--and find the life they've been waiting for all along. . .

PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Long-time best friends Jordan, Dakota and Chrasey are three New York African-American career women in their 30s who appear to have it all, but don't: Jordan struggles to balance her law career and her marriage, much to her husband Omar's displeasure; Dakota wants to settle down with Tony, but the bad boy music executive may not feel the same way about her; and Chrasey, overweight and ignored by husband Keith, is attracted to Trevor, the younger man she meets at a bus stop-who then shows up at same club where she and her girlfriends are partying. Morris, making her debut, sets things up nicely, but delivers a tale that's less diary than desultory, and isn't even in the first person. Too often, an intriguing scene concludes with a paraphrase, or begins with a rote set of character descriptions. All three primary male love interests are cheaters, all three women cheat on the men they love (more than once with the attendant complications for women). The result is more melodrama than drama.
