Full Figured 7: The Full Figured Plus Size Divas Series, book 7

by Nikki Rashan, Ni'chelle Genovese, Carl Weber (Interviews)

In Full Figured 7 , Carl Weber brings together two literary divas to give readers what they've been asking empowering and entertaining stories about big, beautiful women. Sugar on the Side Sassy, sophisticated, and sensual are the three adjectives Sugar uses to define her personality, her style, and her shapely curves. Fiercely confident about her luxurious, full-figured body, Sugar sashays through Chicago's nightlife belting high notes as a well-known singing sensation. Idolized by many, only few know her she and her long-time manager Ace share more than a common passion for Sugar's career--they're lovers. At Ace's insistence, Sugar has always agreed to secrecy for the sake of her career, but now she's tired of hiding just to maintain her spotlight. Sugar is ready to reveal her true love for Ace. Too bad Ace would rather keep Sugar right in her place--as a sweet scoop of sugar on the side. Queen Con Alicia considers herself nothing less than a survivor after escaping years of physical and mental abuse at the hands of her high school love. Now she does whatever is necessary in order to maintain the picture-perfect image she thinks she needs to present as a female working for the Virginia Beach Police Department. Tia is Alicia's polar opposite. She's an enticing con woman who's broken every law, deliberately searching for cracks and loopholes in the system. Tia's main goal is to live the lavish lifestyle she adores without having to work an honest nine-to-five to achieve it. When their worlds collide, it's everything but ordinary. Alicia finds herself drawn into a world she swore to defend against. They say opposites attract, but Alicia starts to wonder if her fascination with Tia is because they are actually birds of the same feather.

This is a two part novel. Sugar on the Side deals with the improbable rise of an R & B singer whose sexuality is bursting at the seams. It seems like coming out could have been easier than losing a memory card with personal pics. The plot was predictable. Queen Con wasn't much better. Carlos and Najah, aka Alicia, a cop, were a high school item that were separated by secrets. Alicia had a sham marriage that was interrupted by a gay encounter. Her husband was involved in shade. It was wacky with not too much plot development.

Hard to finish.

[Tomekia James]

This book wasn't for me.

[Danielle Vaughan · Rating 4 out of 5]

I felt like I was there reading this book due to the fact of the setting being in my hometown of Hampton Roads, VA. I was expecting something different. Didn’t see how it was related to Full Figured because that was barely mentioned. However, the storyline was decent.

I do not know what to say.

[Shawn · Rating 3 out of 5]

Differences between large and small women in the public eye are now viewed with renewed compassion. This book looks at the music industry, as well as the gay life style and view of both. I found it a bit childish though in maturity, therefore I give it this score.

In the second story led me to believe this book was written for the teenagers point of view. It would give them help with self esteem issues.

Not everything is at it seems, especially on the outside looking in. No ones world is perfect.
