The woman who wrote that sorry book is an AKA. I actually read it yesterday. I've read all the hype about it and I must say: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!! The book was so shallow and boring - it felt like a teen level read, honestly. Dull Dull Dull. I hated how her protagonists were these silly little girls drooling over boys - that was the only focus of their lives outside the sorority. I found that insulting. I am a college student and I can honestly say, I've never let myself get the pathetic. What an awful representation of us Black women - both in the terrible characters and in the terrible writing. Thank goodness the sorority has better member like Maya Angelou to represent them, becuase with Ms. Butler as a representation, I should say the AKA's should be embarassed. I would've expected more of a women who belongs to a sorority that emphasizes such scholarship and class and excelling in all they do. I know I am going to catch hell for putting that out there, but hey, it's the truth. No one is looking at that book favorably except her sorors.
