Book Description

April 13, 2011
Relationships aren't complicated... People are! Button Jackson knows two things for sure: all men cheat and all women are rivals. So it's no surprise that the impeccably dressed restaurateur hasn't had a serious boyfriend, close girlfriend, or any connection of substance in years.
Meghan Cherry has the opposite problem. Reeling from a painful divorce, the techie with a desire to unleash her artistic side, can't figure out why her relationships end with nothing when she gives so much.
Attorney, Dawn Martin, is stuck somewhere in the middle. Waiting in purgatory for a marriage proposal that just won't come has molded her into a woman she swore she'd never be.
Against the backdrop of hot days and cool nights in Chicago and armed with red cups of Single Girl Sangria, Button, Meghan, and Dawn share stories, perspectives, and advice on everything from open relationships to open-toe shoes. They come together by chance, grow together as friends, and ultimately discover that for every girl, there's a season.


Editorial Reviews

Review

"When the antisocial sommelier [Button Jackson] befriends recently divorced Meghan Cherry, and Dawn Martin, a top-gun attorney who's single and haplessly searching, the ladies' views on love, marriage and sisterhood catapult from awkward to awesome." -S. Tia Brown, Jet Magazine


"If Waiting to Exhale and Sex and the City procreated, the healthy, bouncing baby would read like Single Girl Summer. You'll live vicariously through Button, Dawn, and Meghan. Even if you've never set foot in Chicago, after reading this, you'll feel like a Chi-town native." -Lana Pipkins, thesavvysistah.com


"Single Girl Summer...is a breezy, enjoyable romp that will make you long for hot days and balmy nights in [Chicago]." -Kyra Kyles, Chicago Tribune RedEye

"Each character possesses her own plight that doesn't offset any other character, but compliments it." -Chivone Smith, Chicago Defender

"All three [characters] carry interesting stories and, my gosh, do they come with fun drama and baggage." -LaToya Cross, N'Digo

"Requesting Single Girl Summer The SEQUEL please. And that is all." -Zondra Hughes, Rolling Out

"A most enjoyable read"-Nikki Giovanni, Author and Poet

From the Inside Flap

This book is dedicated to dreamers
Who are pregnant with possibility, 
Unrelentingly pursuing their passion, 
And producing nothing short of phenomenal.
The journey to manifestation 
Can be trying and exhausting, 
But don't ever stop.
We need your dreams and contributions; 
They make life so sweet,
Like a ripe, juicy peach on a hot summer day.

Single Girl Summer is a wonderful mix of comedy, drama, and love. Once you begin reading it, you won't stop until you finish the whole book in one setting as I did! Do yourself and adult women in your life a favor and get a copy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Male Perspective May 4, 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The old saying, "Don't judge a book by its cover", holds value here. I thought this was a Man bashing Novel the first time I read the Cover, only to find out it wasn't. It allows you to walk in the everyday life of these women, and have deeper respect for their experiences. Its something both Men, Women, and anyone from any City, State, or Country can all Relate to. Its Very funny, Entertaining, and a great Read for all Women and Men alike.
