It's not too often you can find an African American voice in novels that aren't over the top, stereotypical, and at times offensive.  This novel had me smiling, laughing, and at times as mad as the lead, Sabrina.  I easily could identify with the heroine and even saw myself in her...well without the famous husband...or the money...or the infidelity..but anyway identify none the less.Her voice was realistic and engaging.  The author's writing style was fluid and at times lyrical in it's descriptions.  Her use of colloquialism throughout was indicative of the audience the author was writing for or about.  To the reviewer who was not a fan, there are plenty of successful black women (hand raised) who absolutely relate.  Her reactions, inner musings, and conversations with her sister (and in her head)  were very realistic.  I felt as if I was a fly on the wall, and enjoyed every frustrating, confusing, enraged, yet endearing, heartfelt and loving word.  Sean, was in the peripheral yet a very real presence as you get a first hand look into Sabrina's journey to (re)self-discovery.  It's a bit unnerving because we all we have those journeys, maybe at different points in our lives and for different reasons...but a journey nevertheless.  The ending was rushed and there were editing issues,  but the story eclipsed it all.I highly recommend, and will check out what else this author has out there.
