Cruisin On Desperation

by Pat G'Orge-Walker

In this hilarious send-up of church life, the husband-hungry members of the Oh Lawd Why Am I Still Single church group have gathered to complain about the slim pickings in their little town of Pelzer, South Carolina. And newcomer Birdie Tweet may offer just the opportunity they're looking for…

Birdie's love life was bleak until she received a phone call from Lyon Lipps, an irresistible Afro-Latino hunk. Unbeknownst to Birdie, he's also a con artist who has seduced countless women. Now he's found Jesus and wants to reconnect with good Sister Tweet. But when Birdie passes around Lyon's photo, which is actually his mug shot, several ladies in the church group recognize him…

The ladies devise a plan for revenge that will also improve their chances of meeting men. They're going cruising aboard the aptly named ship, Desperation of the Seas. And they plan to trick Lyon into sailing along with them. Soon, they're riding a wave of bickering, betrayal, and unholy behavior, with plenty of laughs—and a few genuine revelations—along the way…

Don't even try to explain when someone catches you laughing out loud. You won't be able to get through a sentence without laughing. You have to read it for yourself!

I found the book to be hilarious!😂😂😂

[Donna Hulsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a very stupid book. I couldn't even finish it. I did enter the date that I finally gave up on it entirely. It was about a group of man-hungry Black women, looking for a man. One page was stupider than the next, and so it went.

Worst book I have ever read. Absolutely ridiculous!

[Dacia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book started off slow and there were some corny moments here and there, but I liked it. It was funny. The characters were truly characters. Once I got passed the the beginning, it was easy reading and I didn't want to put it down.
