Trying hard to survive the struggle but making sure they look good and have fun doing it, they are all caught up in the game in their own way. However the bond that they share seems to prove strong enough to conquer almost anything. That is until secrets are revealed, temptation is tested, and pride, envy, and vanity play at the core of their relationships.

With good times, and bad times, fun times, and sad times, there is only question left to be answered in the end about their friendship.

A Great read! I really just started reading urban fiction books and alot of them seem the same, some are unrealistic while some are entertaining. I ordered this book with some Ashley and Jaquavis books and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining, the author did a great job at making the character realistic and I actually wont pass this on to my best friend like I do most books, I want to read it again! Chauncey seemed so sexy and Tatum seemed wildly relateable to myself as well as any young girl trying to move into a positive direction regardless of your surroundings. Kim was off the hook! She had me literally laughing out loud! The plot was a real wow and I think we can all relate to at least one of the charcters. I read tihs book in a very short time and I was enthralled completely. Overall, the book was a must read, and I will definitely reccomend it. If you are reading this Thicker Than Water is a book you should pick up. I hope more people learn about this book and it gets the recognition that it deserves. Milanie! xoxo
