Summary: Romance meets mystery...
Comment: Shereen, Yolanda, Ellie, and Jessica are best friends, known as the Fabulous Four after pledging Theta Phi Kappa at Howard University. The book takes us a decade past their college experience and expertly crafts in moments of flashbacks. In her novel, Perrin distinctively details the bonds of friendship with well-rounded, well developed and real characters and spins the lesson of forgiveness and moving on with life.
In their adult lives, each woman is successful and they've kept their ties to each other but once trouble comes knocking, they stick beside each other forming a bond that helps them deal with their problems. After meeting up, one of them does something totally unthinkable, shattering the world of another one that starts a myriad of chaos between the friends. In addition, another starts receiving threatening calls that place her in the position to lose all she's worked for if the secret the four women are hiding becomes public knowledge. The author successfully uses flashbacks to share the secret they shared during their college years and the effects it had on each of them.
This book is fast-paced and a wonderful read. My only problem with the book was the ending. It seemed a bit unrealistic and over the top, nonetheless I enjoyed the story and commend Ms. Perrin for doing a wonderful job melding together the genres of mystery, drama, and romance. This would make an excellent book for discussion and for highlighting sisterhood and friendship.

Summary: Intriguing'.Thought-Provoking'.Heartrending
Comment: A friendship is a dynamic relationship. At any given moment, one could find friends laughing and goofing off, celebrating the good times, while discussing the bad, and within an instant something could be said or done, which can put even life long friendships at odds. Although friendships are sometimes intricate, Kayla Perrin illustrates in her book, The Sisters of Theta Phi Kappa, that having caring friendships as loyal as gasoline is for a car to run. Indispensable! While reading this superbly written novel, I found myself evaluating my own "sista girl" friendships. In doing so, I realized that through the ups and downs of life, my friendships have been the rocks that I've clung to and life jackets that keep me afloat on this journey called life. And, for this I am forever grateful that God allowed our paths to cross.
As for the characters within this novel, they were extremely well developed, with all of them having their own distinct personalities. Jessica is shy and naive. Ellie is confused and insecure. Yolanda is headstrong and prideful, while Shereen is compassionate and dependable. Four women with diverse backgrounds, yet the bond they formed while having met pledging for the fictitious sorority, Theta Phi Kappa, during their tenure at Howard University, developed into a lasting, super-glue friendship. Although these women face some profound trials, their close-knit friendship helps to keep them all afloat. This novel powerfully deals with female-bonding and romance, while offering captivating twists and turns. What's more, Perrin's transition from the present to the past was as smooth as a newborn baby's bottom.
I must say that this is a novel that stuck to my hands. Every time that I wanted to put this novel down to give my eyes a rest, I could barely detach it from my hands. As a matter of fact, I read it in one day, with only stopping for bathroom breaks and to stuff my face. Upon my completion of this novel, I found myself disappointed that the story had ended. Over the next few days, I periodically tried to envision just what life would have in store for Jessica, Ellie, Shereen and Yolanda in the future. I cannot wait until the sequel.
With extreme emotion and passion, Perrin offers an intriguing, thought-provoking and heartrending novel that discusses friendship, romance, forgiveness and healing, while encompassing mystery. This is a very gifted writer, so do yourself a favor and pick up a copy of this book ' you won't be disappointed.
