Ester, Helen, Lula-Mae, Rockelle, and Rosalie have one problem: Clyde Brooks. All of these working class woman no matter how smart, sophisticated, and witty have issues with men, and they just can't stop making crazy decisions. I won't delve into all of them but I will confess that Ms. Monroe covers woman in four different shades and all woman may find themselves in all or one of these ladies. The novel had some very vivid visuals that Monroe really painted to perfection. Just something as simple as Lula-Mae's pregnant belly hanging off the bed was spelled out in a unique way. I loved the writing. I definitely recommend this novel to woman looking to learn something about themselves and men looking to learn about the psyche of a woman.

From Amazon:

From the bestselling author of God Don't Like Ugly comes a powerful and passionate new novel about six unique women who share life on the streets of San Francisco - under the control of one charismatic man. With humor, style, and empathy, Mary Monroe lets us in on their hopes and dreams, their laughter - and their limits.
