His pen name is CARL, but he writes like he's CARLA. The female point of view for all three characters was on point. He successfully set the tone for large, single, & married women who of course, relationships shared "Something on the Side" You Go Boy! This is a MUST READ & SHARE! This book was very intersting to say the least. ”

Don't let these plus-sized girls fool ya because they have way more then enough drama to have readers flipping thru the pages of Mr. Webber's latest.
Tammy loves her husband Tim. They have a beautiful home, two kids and fly cars. But what Tammy loves the most is the way Tim takes care of her and to thank him she has a special surprise in store for his upcoming birthday. She's going to give him a threesome with her best friend Egypt. But can her marriage withstand the stress the menage-a-trois places on it? Is she really secure enough to handle her husband sleeping with Egypt? Especially since it was Egypt that her husband initially was interested in when they all first met in college?
Egypt initially thinks Tammy must have fallen and bumped her head asking her to engage in a threesome. But deep inside Egypt is harboring envy in her heart at the lavish lifestyle Tammy is leading all due to the man who's advances she rejected. Can she honestly pass up on this opportunity to see what could have happened?
Isis, Egypt's sister relationship with Tony is going according to plan. Hurt in the past Isis sets up clear boundaries to ensure that her new love won't dog her out like her last. Unfazed by Isis' dating rules Tony is willing to jump through hoops to make Isis happy. But when Isis' ex Rashad returns to reclaim Isis' heart her dating rules might have to be revised.
For entirely too long Nikki allowed her son's father to abuse her finding her only comfort in food. When she finally finds the courage to leave the abusive relationship, she finds shelter in the arms of Tiny a female security guard who works at the shelter she fled to. Nikki had no problem turning to a woman after her disaster filled relationships with her ex. Nikki thought that she sworn off of men until Keith starts working at her job and she realizes she just might need the comfort of a man. But if she thought her ex was a hot-head wait until she crosses Tiny.
Lastly there's Coco Tammy's cousin who has curves for days! She's well aware that only a dog wants a bone so she has meat in all the right places. Coco is a man-stealing manipulator who prides herself at being a kept woman. Her motto is they have to pay to play, and her list of suitors is a mile long. But just when she's hooked the big fish, married real estate tycoon Jackson Brentworth, in walks Mac Reynolds a man sexy enough to make her toss Jackson back out to sea.
Something on the Side is sexy, funny and captivating. It's fun watching as an author proves that the lives of his readers are just as interesting as the characters he writes about.”
