Who You Callin' Hoochie?

by Tillie Wells

Who You Callin’ Hoochie? introduces readers to the electrifying personality of the main character—Marquiesha Jameesha Foster. Marquiesha hangs out with her best friends and embarks upon hilarious adventures that will never lead you into a dull moment. Zany characters who keep the laughter going Marquiesha—a flashy college graduate, Tina—a baby’s mama with drama, Derrick—a homosexual with boldness and feminine flair, and Heidi—who is white, but loves to date black men. By the way, they are all labeled hoochies. Marquiesha was once best friends with Jazzmin and Africa, but they rudely called her “hoochie” over a summer vacation. The battle began between the three of them and lasted throughout their separate journeys through college. The excitement begins when the two girls return home from college and all six girls accidentally meet. That’s when the feuding continues to an unimaginable end.

Even though the cover turned me off (A Word Of Advice: Self Published Authors, if your cover looks like your cousin's best friend drew it, no one will want to look inside)I tried, I really tried, to finish this book; especially since it started strong, and I love "Girlfriend" stories. Unfortunately, it was too Over The Top for me. I knew where Ms Wells was trying to go with this, at least I think I do. It seems as though Wells was attempting to write a sort of Urban Tall Tale, a la Paul Bunyan. It simply didn't work for me, and I was unable to finish it. It's a shame, too: Hoochie was one of the better-edited self-pub books I've read this month.
