Usually “socialites” have little to no talent, other than being connected to a famous BFF. (Think any Kardashian sister.) However, don’t lump Juliet “Juju” C. in that category though. The Love & Hip Hop cast member and fiance of Harlem rapper, Camron, pens a debut book entitled, Secrets of a Jewel and it is a hit! Part memoir, part self-help, the book sizzles with tantalizing stories of lust, greed, and acceptance that all women can relate to.
Secrets of a Jewel open up with Brenda the Booty Call. Just as the name implies, Brenda is a woman who is in a “relationship” with a man that only visits her after the sun goes down. Brenda longs for fulfillment and recognition from her "boyfriend", but she doesn’t realize she never demanded more, in the beginning, therefore, she is trapped in a cycle of drive-by sex and wet pillows. Juju offers Brenda advice on breaking the cycle and claiming her validation. Following Brenda’s story is Drunk Danielle, Settling Selena, Paranoid Paula, and a host of other archetypes. It is impossible for women not to find a character in this book that doesn’t speak to them – who they are or who they have been.
Very refreshing, very raw, and interesting. The only thing that was noticed was that the pages were not numbered which struck me as odd but other than some minor typos, it still flowed and you understood what the author was ultimately trying to convey. The stories are told with the emotional details of a seasoned woman. I can easily see her turning any of these stories into a full-fledged novel. (Hint, Hint.)

This book was a bunch of short stories about life experiences. Something you look back on and say lesson learned. Great read.

Where do I begin? This book is a combination of short stories outlining different women and their perspectives of their lives. Each story is followed by a letter to the main character giving advice and the Author, Juliet C., words of wisdom. I enjoyed the book as well as her letters following the story.
I thought the stories were very realistic and involved topics that can touch any woman who opens this book. I honestly felt like I was in a room with all of the characters and he author, just discussing being a woman. Good job.
