The Ex Chronicles
THE CREATOR OF THE BESTSELLING BROWN SUGAR SERIES DEBUTS HER SEXY NEW NOVEL
"A delicious debut novel...with some Terry McMillan-esque twists." — Publisher's Weekly
In a New York City rife with emotional land mines, four friends search for Mr. Right but often end up settling for Mr. Right Now.
Precious a struggling writer, discovers her fiance, Darius, in bed with another woman, but that doesn't stop he from wanting him. Bella, the wise-cracking, overindulged child of an absent diplomat father and a pill popping socialite mother, knows her boyfriend, Julius, is using her, but before she can give him up she has to give up her first love, alcohol. Half Jamaican, half British, Zenobia sacrifices a successful modeling career for Malcolm, her overly critical boyfriend, but when he strays she fears she's made a terrible mistake. Bourgie Hope, the editorial director of a high-fashion magazine, is working double time to hide the strain of caring for her dementia-ridden mother and her own debilitating depression, while trying to resist a strong attraction to her new driver Derrick, a single dad from the projects.
Funny and sexy, heartbreaking and inspiring, The Ex Chronicles is a novel about faith in one's self, trust in one's friends, and the sacrifices we make in the name of love.
