A Belle in Brooklyn: Advice for Living Your Single Life and Enjoying Mr. Right Now by Demetria L. Lucas
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Ok, I will preface this review with stating the fact that I don't read nonfiction books in my downtime. I definitely do not read relationship books. But, since I love Essence magazine so much, I thought that a relationship book written by a black woman and the Essence relationships writer would be a great choice. I also need to let you know that I am obsessed with the state of Black America and all of the relationship info and media about black people in relationships, especially black women. I thought this would be a knock out book, but I was a little disappointed.
The book is of course from the writer, Demetria Lucas' point of view, I expected that. What I did not expect was for her to go through nearly every relationship that she had and explain that the reason why she quit all of these dudes was because she was happy being single. Well if you like being single so much, why are you writing a relationship book. Granted, I chose to read the book, not only because I was curious, but also because I wanted some single girl relationship advice. Well, I guess I got what I wanted. All I'm saying is that, in my personal opinion, I was disappointed with the 'advice' she gave, but it was interesting reading about all of her dating escapades.
