I’ve always been an Eve fan. However, I’ve forgotten the impact she’s made for the culture over her career. Thanks for the reminder.

Soledad Barnes has her life all planned out. Because, of course, she does. She plans everything. She designs everything. She fixes everything. She’s a domestic goddess who's never met a party she couldn't host or a charge she couldn't lead. The one with all the answers and the perfect vinaigrette for that summer salad. But none of her varied talents can save her when catastrophe strikes, and the life she built with the man who was supposed to be her forever, goes poof in a cloud of betrayal and disillusion.

Such an amazing book! I loved the storyline and the ways we’re still connected to Yaz, Josiah, and Hen. I wished they’d use a different voice actor for Judah, but other than that, five stars!

Story
When multimillion-selling vocalist and actress Kelly Rowland gave birth to her son Titan in November 2014, it was love at first sight - she honestly could not believe how beautiful he was. But, as Rowland says, she would be lying if she said she wasn't also a little freaked out about what had just happened to her body as well as by many overwhelming new thoughts and emotions. It was a good thing that Dr. Tristan Bickman, Rowland's OB/GYN for the last 14 years, was there.

I started reading this book a couple of weeks before I had my first child and it was so on point and timely! I loved the transparency and openness. There were so many topics I never discussed with my own doctor or other mom friends. I found this book to be extremely helpful while transitioning into life as a new mommy! Way to go, Kelly!

Most people equate success with having more, but Sanya's quest was always for less. She started running track as a little girl in Jamaica and began competing when she was only seven. At 31 she's had a career's worth of conditioning to run a 400-meter race in 50 seconds, hopefully 49, or, even better, 48.
