Publisher Description
Easier Said Than Done is a touching new novel of love and risk, featuring a sassy and skillfully created cast of characters that are so full of life, they breathe, dream, and shout right off the page. Kingston Phillips, a beautiful entertainment executive in the fast-paced city of Chicago, has finally grasped the brass ring. But just as her friends and colleagues are buzzing with her success, Kingston must return to Jamaica for her grandmother's funeral.
While there, childhood tragedies, heartbreak, and family jealousies come back to haunt her, threatening to shatter her dreams. Not only does Kingston come face to face with the college sweetheart who left her heartbroken, but her grandmother names her executor of her will and forces her to make a life-altering decision.
Does Kingston continue to reap her success in Chicago or stay in Jamaica to fulfill her grandmother's dream—possibly risking another broken heart? Can a modern woman find the balance between a successful career and the responsibilities of family and love while enduring the bumps along the way? Or is life really … Easier Said Than Done?

THE BEST BOOK EVER
OMG this is now one of my favorite books!!! Nikki Woods humor mixed with romance was a perfect combination. I fell in love with every character! I was sad when it ended because I wanted to know about the baby and if she had adopted Teeka... His was a great book and it would make a great movie. The book is written as a script pretty much because of how well Nikki described the beauty of Jamaica and Everthing else in the book. I can picture this as being a romantic comedy starring Joy Bryant maybe? And tariji P henson as maybe Keela and GuGu mbatha-raw or Jordan Sparks. As Bianca ...and Jill Scott as Sharnesha.... Perfect movie casting complete :-)
Easier Said Than Done
Overall I enjoyed the book; however, I the author should have given more detail about the situation with Essence. Additionally, her agreeing to take Teeka without trying to locate the mother and talk to her or contact the child's relatives, after only knowing them for a week, seemed a little unrealistic.
