Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Crystal Taylor, along with Keyandré "Key" Emerson and his sister Shonté have been friends since forever. She and Shonté are roommates who, although share the same space, lead very different lifestyles. Crystal is conservative and always in charge, Key very comfortable with the person he has become and Shonté is the wildest of the bunch. After trying unsuccessfully to get Shonté to stop dating a married man, Crystal finds herself getting drunk and crying on Key's shoulders, while the two are out on the town. They end up at Key's apartment, one thing leads to another, and they have sex. Her relationship with Shonté is already strained, now Crystal is also having a hard time coming to grips with what happened with Key. She decides to take control of her own life, changes her appearance and stays as far away from Key as possible. However, Key is not having it and tells her in so many words what she means to him. If Crystal gives in and she and Key become lovers, will it affect her friendship with Shonté or her sanctity for that matter? Andrea Jackson, aka, The Paperback Diva has written a wonderful novel filled with drama. The friendship shared by Crystal, Key and Shonté was priceless. Most times, friendship based books will feature two or more women as main characters; however, Ms. Jackson ventures a step further by adding a male in the mix. WHO'S THAT LADY is a book readers will enjoy. Reviewed by Pamela Bolden of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
