Well, I never and I probably never will! This book really was not what I expected, in a good way. I expected baby daddy drama from the title but the extra's were the bomb! I had to leave my desk at work at a prestigious plastic surgeon's office a total of 5 times I was laughing so hard. This is a must-read for lover's of fiction, family and relationship reader's and who would have thought that this plot would be so "tight" and crisp for an unknown first time author. I am leaving out specifics about the book on purpose because this is a true must-read, must-have and Toschia will have you on the floor crying! There is a scene where the male-character sings jingles dressed as Dora the Explorer! Bravo Toschia, I can't wait for the sequel and you know you are "Wrong For That"
A happy reader,

Toschia would like us to believe that Rhea, our protagonist, is this strong yet sassy sista who's got it going on making a life for herself in Hotlanta. She comes from a wealthy family with a strong and proud Haitian/Cuban heritage. With close friends and family and organizational involvements, one would think that Rhea is complete, but is she?

The books' opening pulls you in. Rhea tells of her divorce from Marcus. Amidst doubts and fears, she thought she was destined to live the "perfect life" of a Doctor's wife. But unbeknownst to Rhea, a "friend" has wormed her way into Marcus's life and puts a knife in the coffin of an already doomed marriage. She swears off men until Davis enters. Afraid of being hurt again, she tries not to be enticed into starting another relationship but is quickly swept off her feet and lured into more drama than she'd ever imagine. Should she stay or should she go is the question? Why the answer is ostensibly so hard is beyond me.

Rhea's reasoning for her actions were too far fetched for words. Like most of us, sometimes Rhea has mood swings, raging hormones and family issues to content with. And yes, sometimes the heart and the mind are not always on the same page. This still wasn't enough to justify being so blinded by such a non-deserving, immature and uncaring man.

I won this book and therefore had to write a review. Besides, the author's a Soror so I really wanted to like it. True, the lack of editing was a distraction but can almost be overlooked with hot-tempered dialog and explicit sex scenes. However, the underdeveloped relationships made it hard for you to empathize with Rhea. You Wrong For That fell short of being a well thought-out fun read. I'm confident though that the sequel (there has to be a sequel) will surely be better.

I think it's terrible that people can now voice their personal hatred about an author instead of rating the work fairly. It's terrible that reader's are allowed to repost negative reviews under different names and accuse the author of faking reviews. I like most readers look at reviews when looking to purchase books. Once I saw a review by best-selling author Sheila Goss (www.sheilagoss.com)of "Roses are Thorns" of the Talented Tenth Reviewers and saw that it was favorable I purchased it. This was a very good book, it had some typo's but most self-published books do. The editing issues were not so that you wanted to not read the book, the drama was so intense that whatever few typos there were was not a big deal. If it was so terrible it wouldn't be re-released from a major publisher. This book was full of drama, suspense and is a very good book. Other's think so too.

I guess these nationwide reviewers are all made up to? They all have many reviews and all have given this novel positive reviews. Toschia did a fantastic job with her debut novel and I'm looking forward to the rereleased version.

After divorcing a cheating husband, Rhea thought she would be living the single life forever until she meets sexy businessman Davis Hickman. Rhea believes Davis is the man of her dreams until she finds out about his two baby mommas. Rhea has to decide if staying with Davis is worth all the drama. She also has to keep her brother Toussaint, who has ties to the Haitian underworld, from killing Davis.

You Wrong For That is the perfect title for the debut novel by Toschia. The antics of some of the characters will have you screaming the title of this book out loud! This story shows that even a successful, college-educated, career women like Rhea can get mixed up in some ghetto, Jerry Springer-type drama. You Wrong For That has drama, sex, and humor...everything you could ask for in a novel. Toschia's witty, in-your-face writing style is what keeps this novel moving. What also stood out was the creative way the author incorporated Haitian and Caribbean culture into the story. You Wrong For That is a book that you will be wrong for passing up.

TOSCHIA'S debut novel YOU WRONG FOR THAT is full of drama and you can't resist turning the page to find out how Rheonique Baptiste LaDay will handle the lies dished out by Davis Hickman

Rheonique comes from a wealthy family, but is independent and has built a successful career as a marketing executive. She is divorced and relationships are not high on her agenda. Davis and Rheonique initially meet at work. Their conversations lead into them meeting face to face.

Red flags are given that Davis is not who he appears to be, but Rheonique ignores every last one. Will she be able to cut ties with Davis or will she continue to believe his lies?

The actions of Davis, Rheoninique, Davis's mom and some of the other secondary characters will have you saying...SHE/HE is WRONG FOR THAT.

I can see a sequel in the works. Toschia's story telling is unique and the characters may remind you of someone you know in YOU WRONG FOR THAT.

Where has this book been? why haven't I heard of it? I was surfing the web and ordered it and boy am I glad I did. I, like all of my friends are tired of these ole' people books that resonate with too much holier than thou themes, but on the other hand what do you have? downright gutta trash. I got shot 10 times so I wrote a book theme, yes.. Toschia, yes... you have found the middle ground the represents the mass majority of us readers today, a lil' sumpin sumpin for the boughetto! and Soror big ups' to you. This book had drama from page 1 to the end! it had religion but didn't preach, it was def comedy jam comedy, it had steamy, raw, sex, it had voodoo, it had other cultures and languages and guess what? it had an excellent plot. Toschia wrote her butt off in this book and it's hard to believe that this is a first time novelist because "You Wrong for That" is just as good, let me correct myself better than some of your everyday names. Finally a writer that has taken a Creative Writing or English class or two! And can still make you laugh and scream at the characters at the same time. This book was way over the top, I wanted to kill the main charater Rhea on one page then, I felt sorry for her and wanted to kill her baby's daddy. The voodoo lady with the elephant tusk bracelet scared the h*$% out of me! The sex was just the bomb, I'm too through with that bathtub scene and the "milk" bath! ugh!! All I want to know is why did Davis send Baby Mamma #2 home on a greyhound bus with two faded-Dukes of Hazard pillowcases? why didn't he have a blanket?
Why did he want Baby Mamma#1 to cash her student loan check in and buy her own engagement ring from Wal-Mart? Why Lord Why did Davis show his mamma his "thang" and why did she put green alcohol and a sponge-bob bandaid on it? Was Willie Mae Hicman a tard' or what? and Davis's father was a moocher with a bad attitude! This book was retarted! Why did both baby's mamma's steal the earned income tax credit and he had to borrow money from Baby Mamma #3. What was on Davis's lip??? TOTALLY PSYCHOTIC AND I LOVED IT AND CAN'T WAIT FOR THE SEQUEL! This book was too funny and I'll make sure everyone at Howard reads this!

After going by the recommindations of the reviewers for this book, I immediatly read it soon as I opened the Amazon package. Man, was I let down. The book had a wonderful plot which I am sure many sistahs have been through, but it was turned into a jumbled mess that was hard to follow. One minute, a baby momma is telling her crazy stuff with her man and in the next page she is sleeping with him and cooking for his family. What is up with that? And what happened to the editor for this book? The typos ran rampant all over this book! The ending, however, will have me purchase the sequel for this book. I just hope that rough edging in the first book will be smooth in the second.

Ok this book had me HOWLING!! at certain points. I thought Davis and his whole family were a bunch of FOOLS! BUT Rhea i wanted to punch her in her face on more than one occascion...i mean sister took pitiful to a new level. I mean all the evidence was laid out before her at every step of the way and yet she still turned a blind eye to it. Why would she even want that broke trifling liar to be around her children. If she had ended up marrying him, she would have gotten everything that she deserved. I mean this shows that with so much education some people still lack commonsense. I also blame her mother who had no sense of values whatsoever. There has got to be a sequel so miss toschia needs to get to it. HAHA!. maybe she needs to include more of Davis family cause they were just as crazy as he was. The mother definitly needs an emancipation from her husband...but it will be interesting to see how their relationship plays out.

this was a excellent book, i couldnt put it down now my question for Toschia is when is part 2 coming..........I cant wait..
