"It's a good thing that this is only the first book of a trilogy, because after getting to know Tabitha, you won't want to leave her at the end. . . . Written intimately as if you're peering into the mind of a close friend, this book is a true testament to the stresses on women today and how great girlfriends (and grandmothers) are often the key to our sanity." â?? Good Morning America

The first novel in a captivating three-book series about modern womanhood, in which a young Black woman must rely on courage, laughter, and loveâ??and the support of her two longtime friendsâ??to overcome an unexpected setback that threatens the most precious thing she's ever wanted.

Tabitha Walker is a black woman with a plan to "have it all." At 33 years old, the checklist for the life of her dreams is well underway. Education? Check. Good job? Check. Down payment for a nice house? Check. Dating marriage material? Check, check, and check. With a coveted position as a local news reporter, a "paper-perfect" boyfriend, and even a standing Saturday morning appointment with a reliable hairstylist, everything seems to be falling into place.

Then Tabby receives an unexpected diagnosis that brings her picture-perfect life crashing down, jeopardizing the keystone she took for granted: having children. With her dreams at risk of falling through the cracks of her checklist, suddenly she is faced with an impossible choice between her career, her dream home, and a family of her own.

With the help of her best friends, the irreverent and headstrong Laila and Alexis, the mom jeans-wearing former "Sexy Lexi," and the generational wisdom of her grandmother and the nonagenarian firebrand Ms. Gretchen, Tabby explores the reaches of modern medicine and tests the limits of her relationships, hoping to salvage the future she always dreamed of. But the fight is all consuming, demanding a steep price that forces an honest reckoning for nearly everyone in her life. As Tabby soon learns, her grandmother's age-old adage just might still be true: Black girls must die exhaus… (altro)

Aww, this book had me feeling so many emotions. The characters were developed well and you felt connected to them and the struggles they were facing. I am very much looking forward to reading the next two books in this series. ( )

Quelle lecture agréable! C’est la première fois que je prends autant de plaisir à lire de la chick-lit / litterature contemporaine où une femme noire (les Noirs en general) sont mis a l’honneur! Tabitha a tout pour lui rendre heureuse sauf qu’au dernier moment , on lui annonce qu’elle n’a que 6 mois pour avoir un enfant sinon tout espoir d’avoir une famille sera jeté aux oubliettes! J’ai aimé le lien fort qu’elle a avec ses meilleures amies Laila et Alexis. L’autrice a montré à quel point des amitiés authentiques et saines n’apportent que de bonnes choses et aident à grandir en tant que personne! J’ai aussi aimé la façon dont Jayne peint la réalité des Noirs. Le seul personnage que je n’ai pas aimé dans le livre est Marc bien sûr, vous verrez pourquoi en lisant le livre. En même temps, malgré les 5 étoiles, je pense que la situation entre Tabitha et Marc aurait pu être gérée autrement.
JE RECOMMANDE CE LIVRE A 11000%. Il y a le livre 2 : Black girls must be magic que j'espère lire dans un futur qui n’est pas du touuut trop loin!

This was a beautiful journey of love, friendship, and loss - challenges we face with everyday life, while adding the challenges faced by being of color and facing prejudices and segregation throughout generations.

Tabatha Walker has a lot of challenges added to her plate, and despite having many moments of self-doubt, learns to navigate the ebb and flow of life and all its many bumps in the road. There will be moments that grip your heart tightly and moments where you want to shake her and tell her she's stronger than she thinks.

An amazing journey that opens your eyes to everyday relationships and makes you reflect on your own connections with loved ones. ( )

I received a copy of this book through the Goodreads Giveaways program in exchange for an honest review.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! this book - can't recommend enough. Such a topical story dealing with women's issues (think fertility, workplace politics, relationships, personal identity) and particularly how those issues can be even more complex based on one's racial identity.

Looking forward to sharing with friends and family! ( )
