I read the book while I was dating a guy and when I completed it, I began to tell him about it because I knew that he would never read it. Well when I got to the part about how the engaged guy (Jake, maybe?) was cheating on his fiance and how the girl who he was cheating with knew that he was involved with another woman, my boyfriend stopped me in the middle and asked "What's wrong with that?" I ignored that ignorant comment and went on with the narration, so when I finished, I asked him, "Wasn't Jake a jerk and wasn't the girl that he was cheating with equally as trifling?"
What he said next got him CANCELED----He said, "Don't trip, the trifling girl might be you." My question to him was, "What the he!! do you mean?" He tried to laugh it off, but since I had always had the feeling that he was living a DOUBLE LIFE with his BABY MAMA (so ghetto!!!!)
I just decided to take myself out of the situation. Glad I did too, because he wasn't hardly worth no REAL heartache. Which is what I would've gotten if I had ever had some hardcore evidence of their relationship. Actually, that statement that he made was hardcore enough for me.
Sorors and sisterfriends beware and PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE don't get caught up in the "BABY MAMA DRAMA"!!!!!
