Fast Paced Roller Coaster Ride. . . .

256 Pgs. Cereka takes you into the lives of two relationships in this page turner, Janai-Jordan and Chanel-Donnell. Janai and Chanel are assumed to be best friends and in every girlfriend relationship there is always one that seems superior, inadvertently. I'm sure we have all heard the lines from our best friend, "Girl you deserve better and you know you are wrong for doing that." Chanel is in a relationship with Donnell and she feels (hopes) as though one day she will get to be his wife. Circumstances (DRAMA) arise within a period of 5 years of dating where the issue of cheating is obvious but forgiven. The wait is over when she makes a conscious decision whether she wants to be temporarily or continuously hurt. Janai's relationship with Donnell is almost perfect from someone looking on the outside. Donnell is every females dream when it comes to a healthy union. He's loving, caring, handsome and most of all responsible. They share living quarters and he takes care of everything. In most cases where women seem to get all of this, there are always other things that are needed or longed for. Janai's ways of getting everything she wants outside of the things Donnell gives leaves her flat broke. Extreme Circumstances could not have been the best selected title for this book.

(4.5 stars) Real Life Drama

Has there ever been a time in your life that you thought you found the "one," and he or she turns out to be your worst nightmare? That is what happened to Chanel. Chanel had been dating Donnell for sometime now, and she just knew sooner or later he would pop the question, until she heard him on the phone saying he would be a "Playa for Life." With that being said, her life began to change. He begins to act differently towards her. There's always an excuse not to spend time with her. Finally, he betrays her trust, and now it's time for her to decide what's best for her. Even though Chanel was going through a lot with Donnell, she had nothing on her best friend Janai. Janai was a "true playa." She was living with her man, and dating everybody else's men at the same time. Janai thought she was living the high life. Her live-in boyfriend was paying all of her bills, plus his. She is dating a married man that is giving her the world as well. She thought she was living the high life until all of her misdeeds caught up with her. Will she able to redeem herself with the man she loves or will she suffer with all of the extreme circumstances she has encountered? I would like to start out by saying that I would recommend this book to all of my friends. The book flowed freely from one scenario to another. While reading Extreme Circumstances, you will think of a couple of people that each of the characters will remind you of. Even though the book is fiction, there's certainly a little truth to it. There were some parts to the book that lost my attention for a second, but for the most part it was rather enjoyable. Reviewed by Jackie for Urban Reviews

Extreme Circumstances by Cereka Cook: An PeoplewholoveGoodBooks Review

Chanel is ready to settle down and marry her long-time boyfriend Donnell. However, Donnell has different plans. Not ready to settle down or turn in his "playa" card, Donnell has no problem sleeping around with other women as long as Chanel doesn't find out. Chanels knows something is not right, but instead of following her intuition, she is determined to stick it out with Donnell. But what happens when Chanel catches Donnell in a situation that he can't lie his way out of? Janai, Chanel's best friend has a good man at home but she is never satisfied. Janai uses what she got to get what she wants but what happens when one of her boy toy's wives comes after her?? Extreme Circumstances, the debut novel by Cereka Cook is an engaging story with interesting characters. Chanel appears to be the main character but you find yourself caught up in Janai's story. I finished this book in one day!! Join Chanel, Donnell, and Janai as they find themselves in situations with "extreme circumstances". Reviewed by Shay C of PeoplewholoveGoodBooks
