Praise for this book

"An inspiring yarn...light and quick and packed with enough issues to keep a daytime host busy"--"People"A 'Bridget Jones's Diary' for black women...Readers will respond to this novel's honesty, to its colloquial humor and its exacting exploration of Daphne's relationship woes."--"New York Times Book Review"Any sister who has felt unlucky in love will identify with Sinclair's smoothly written tale."--"Essence"April Sinclair's jazzy new novel is her best yet. Her syncopated rhythms and her cool, bluesy tones make her Ella Fitzgerald's literary rival."--E. Lynn Harris
