ROFL
This book had me on the floor! The crazy situations and even crazier sistas. There is a lot of profanity and very explicit sexual situations but I would recommend it.

I read Addicted by Zane this past month for my book club. Zane is a woman. The Sigma Gamma Rho forum started a thread about it this morning I believe.
Also here is her newest book called Shame on It All:
Book Description
If you have ever observed the behavior of a close friend or family member and wanted to scream out "Shame on you!" then Shame On It All is the novel for you. Harmony, Bryce and Lucinda a.k.a. Lucky Whitfield are sisters in the truest sense of the word. They argue and they get on each other's nerves but when it comes down to the wire, they are extremely protective of one another. Shame On It All is a dramady about their adventures, their friendships, their love lives, and their outlooks on situations facing the majority of African-American women in today's society.
Jam-packed with unpredictable, unbelievable, and just downright crazy situations with a few surprising twists thrown in for good measure, Shame On It All is as wild as they come.
At a time when much of African American fiction has fallen into formulas and mediocrity, Zane has lifted the bar of literary standards again with this insightful, often hilarious work, which showcases her talent for satire, irony, penetrating analysis and downright hijinks. The sista can write! This book is a complete departure from her earlier efforts and one that should bring her the notoriety she so deserves. If you loved Addicted, then Shame On It All will give you a whole different view of this woman's immense talent.
