Emotional Facades: A Novel

by Taylor Bianca B.

Khadijah and Rebecca planned to be the black and brown Golden Girls, until Rebecca stormed out of Khadijah and Jamie’s wedding, vowing that she “couldn’t do this anymore.” The “it” in question was their friendship. Khadijah deserved that dismissal, but she was devoted to fixing things.

Become a Better Version of Khadijah to Earn Rebecca’s Forgiveness So They Could Be Lifelong Best Friends Like They’d Planned.

However, all of Khadijah’s efforts to be a better person seem to come undone. Her therapist disapproves of her strict goals for self-improvement, everyone from classmates to coworkers provokes her bossy side, and trying to avoid squabbles as a newlywed is like walking on a tightrope that is on fire. Now, her impulsive actions have her forming unlikely alliances.

Was there a better version of Khadijah for her to grow into, or was she destined to revert back to the trainwreck who almost ruined Rebecca’s happy-ever-after?
