Review # 1 was written on 2009-02-11 00:00:00 Lee Bentley This was an enjoyable book. The characters were all funny and familiar and some of them endearing. Basically, it is the sad and humorous account of one woman's experience with a series of bad relationships. Bernita Brown, a Social Worker, tries some of everything-- a pretty boy, a White guy who insists he was African in a previous life, a hard looking brother with a speech impediment, some New Age stuff and "the church" before she finds the love that's been missing in her life. Bernita's abusive upbringing is highlighted as a way of showing why she made some of the choices she did, while her Aunt Babe's ghost narrates the story and trys to steer her in the right direction. The only thing that kept me from giving this book an additional star was the tidy ending, which arrived much too soon for my liking. After all of those bad relationships, I was hoping for a bit more build up and a bigger or more satisfying payoff in the end.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-10-07 00:00:00 Mitchell Goossen Read it - you may not want to see yourself in the words, but you'll be there all the same! This is a book that should be shared because there are too many Bernitas and Douglases and MaBishas and Busters and Babes and Vans and Re Members and Tricias walking around being clueless and unloved.
