A young black woman gets caught up in a relationship with a married man in an open relationship, and you're witnessing a woman searching for something, but no idea what that something is. It's sad, she's hurting, she's lost, she's detached and she's messy. This is one of those books where you're going to be uncomfortable the entire time you read this.
