It also offers invaluable tips for finding a suitable mate when you are ready for one. In the meantime, enjoy your single life--with or without Mr. Perfect. Review "A Belle in Brooklyn is fun, sexy, witty and captivating. Picture it as your no-holds bar girlfriend telling you a series of real life stories over cocktails. From page one you're invested... because the writing is just that damn good." --Vibe Vixen "This may be slightly sexist, but I'm going to say it anyway -- [Demetria Lucas] is one of the most self-aware women I've ever met. The level of forthright self-assessment she exhibits in her blogs is extremely rare and commendable. It may be an act, but if so, she deserves a f*cking Oscar." -- Very Smart BrothasLucas opens up her life for the greater good of her readers. You don't feel as if you've accompanied her to a private exam; it's more like you're hanging out at an intimate girlfriend's gathering." --ESSENCE A Belle in Brooklyn is like a warm hug and firm-but-thoughtful counsel from that girlfriend you trust unconditionally--honest, straight-no-chaser. --Denene Millner, co-author of the New York Times bestselling Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man"Lucas gives it straight no chaser. She provides brutally honest bits of her personal life-from a frightening sexual assault by a "friend" to laugh-out-loud/this-can't-be-real-life moments (Suge Knight? Comedy.) to those so familiar and almost indescribable pangs of like, love and lust." -- Madame Noire About the Author Affectionately known as "Belle", Demetria L.
