4.0 out of 5 stars TOO MUCH DRAMA, April 23, 2007

APOOO Rating-4.5

LaJill Hunt definitely delivers a page-turner with Too Close for Comfort. Quianna Westbrooke and her brother, Quincy Westbrooke, are the main characters in a DRAMA-filled saga. There is drama with family, baby daddies' family, friends, and lovers.

Quincy is dating Paige Michaels. He thinks he has found the one. That is until she allows her past to interfere in their romance. She gets caught up with her baby daddy, his mom, and his new wife. Someone close to Paige goes through great troubles to try to pull them apart.

Then we have Quianna, also known as YaYa, who is dependent on Quincy to pull her out of any and every jam. He decides to help her live out her dream of owning her own shop, a nail salon, by allowing her to have the space next to one of his four barbershops, Q-maters. This only allows YaYa to be deeper into his business...personal business that is.

I read the book in ONE sitting. I could not help but continue to turn the pages to see what would happen. I would have definitely given this book a 5 had it not been for the oversight of the main character's name. I see that I now need to go back and read "Shoulda Woulda Coulda", which is the prequel. Definitely recommend this book.

This book is really a good book i read it in one day.I love the part were Paige's mother finally put Gayle and Celeste in their place.(It was a Madea moment really good).Marlon finally gets his life in order. At the end she could have said a little more about Paige and Q. I felt like it ended to soon.

All in All this book is good;go and get it y'all

4.0 out of 5 stars Boiling Over, December 11, 2006

This review is from: Too Close for Comfort (Paperback)

Too Close for Comfort is a fitting title especially since we're back to the drama at hand with the crew from Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda. Yes, the endless enigma, charisma and DRAMA, which La Jill Hunt is bountiful with, are in full effect.

Paige and Quincy look as if they can be moving into the serious stages of a relationship. That is if they can keep the haters out of their business. But, maybe there is something to all of these accusations. Could it be that Marlon and Paige have some unfinished business? If it were you, what would you believe your ears or your eyes?

Too Close for Comfort boils over with challenges, acceptances, fake friendships, lying mates, and a broken families. As always readers were graced with a visit from some of the memorable original characters.
