    I forgot to add that I just loved the aunts. They were a trip and loved them some Terrence. I would love to see this book as a movie.

    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.

    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.
