    “I just finished this book a few hours ago. I loved it. Reshonda Billingsley has become one of my favorite authors to read. When I know she has a book coming out, I automatically buy it--regardless. To answer your original question, that's life...folks will stoop to anything to get what they want--including fake a pregnancy so that part of the storyline didn't bother me at all.

    “Hey, just finished this book and it was very good. I give it 4 stars. Okay, one question. Are you as tired as I am of the old "I'm pregnant" trick. It's so predictable. In this case, I saw it coming a mile away. Just like Terrance's friend Monty said, "I can't believe you fell for that old tired trick". What can authors use besides I'm pregnant?! In this case, I think it could have been eliminated, and just Savannah finding out the secret could have been sufficient. ”
