What About Your Friends...By Leona Romich

What About Your Friends...By L. Romich "Book Nympho"
THICKER THAN WATER by Takerra Allen is a story about four best friends: Sasha, Tatum, Neli and Kim. All four hail from Brick City Newark, New Jersey. Sasha is single, 21 and sexy, with no kids and has her own apartment. Sasha is the type of girl that strives to look perfect under any circumstance. When she meets Chauncey, she falls for him hard. Unfortunately, Chauncey has a secret that threatens their relationship. So instead of talking with her, he just up and breaks things off with her, leaving her heartbroken and confused. Tatum is the girl that always has an eye for fashion. Tatum can put anything together and look fly wearing it. Unfortunately Tatum's only family consists of her brother, Chris, and his two little girls, whom Tatum seems to be raising. Her brother, Chris, is in the streets trying to make a name for himself, while Tatum is busy going to school trying to get an education. When Tatum meets the sexy Respect `aka' Ree, a notorious drug dealer, her loyalty will be tested. Penelope 'aka' Neli is the quiet one of the group. She is envious of another group member and is determined to be like her or have what she has at any cost. Neli will smile in her face but will plot behind her back. Unfortunately she is about to learn that if you do not have family the only one you can count on besides yourself is your friends. Kim is the wild child of the group. Kim has the attitude "if you got it flaunt it." She has only been in love one time and unfortunately, it was with someone older and off limits to her. Kim's philosophy is to "use men for what she can get out of them." Kim is the type of girl that will speak her mind and not sugar coat it. She could care less what you think of her. THICKER THAN WATER is an excellent debut. It is a tale of friendships, secrets, lies, envy, temptation and murder. Ms. Allen does a great job with character development and draws you into the story from the very first page. Only because of the minor editing issues did I knock off .5 stars. I sincerely look forward to reading more by this author. This book was provided to me courtesy of the author for review purposes.
