And Then There Was Me
And Then There Was Me: A Novel of Friendship, Secrets and Lies | Sadeqa Johnson
Bea and Awilda have been best friends from the moment Awilda threw her fourteen year-old self across Beas twin-sized bed as if they had known each other forever. Bubbly, adventurous Awilda taught sheltered, shy Bea how to dress, wear her hair and what to do with boys. She even introduced Bea to her husband, Lonnie, in college, who pledged to take good care of her for the rest of their lives. But philanderer Lonnie breaks that promise over and over again, leaving Bea to wrestle with her self-esteem and long time secret addiction. Recently Lonnie has plopped the family in a New Jersey upper class suburb, which lacks the diversity that Bea craves but has the school district and zip code envy that Lonnie wants. The demands of carrying a third child and fitting into this new environment while pretending that her husband is not cheating on her again, is more than she can handle. And just when she thinks things cant get any worst, the ultimate deception snaps the little thread that was holding her life together and all comes tumbling down. And Then There Was Me is the story of love and friendship, heartache and betrayal. Its the journey of a woman stripped down to her lowest point and needing to find the will to press on.

This had me locked in from the beginning. I hated that the main character was dealing with so much and betrayed by those closest to her.

Chelleo This sounds worth checking out…thanks! 1y

Not bad
Bea is pregnant, she is carrying the child for her husband's cousin, who can't carry one of her own.
Her marriage is rocky, her husband not being faithful. Suffering with bulimic disease, her one true friend named Awilda, is the one that keeps her positive with everything that is happening in Bea's life.

Is it too early for beach reads???? Friendship, marriage, motherhood, secrets, questions of diversity -- plus good characters & the Jersey shore. Pour a glass of wine and dive in! @StMartinsPress

KateTheBookworm It's never too early for a beach read. 😊 8y
