KEEP IT COMING!

This book will make you laugh and make you cry. It was great! Refreshing to read a book that doesn't center around pimpin, husltin', and killin', but keeps you reading! **A must read**

Flipside's Causin' Riptides-Marc Lacy - "The Looking Heart"

Tu-Shonda Whitaker is a humble person, but she's really shown out with "Flip Side of The Game"! She should have her "humble" license revoked! She sits quitely while readers are in a craze after reading this "Fire-Hot" novel. Trust me, your hands will remain sweaty as long as you hold this book in an effort to stay cool while reading. Everyone can relate to carrying love-evasive baggage. But when the ultimate script is flipped, the only thing you can do is feel the effect! Someone please call The Fire Department! Big ups to Tu-Shonda!

This book is a must read!! I was the editor that worked on this book with Tu-Shonda Whitaker and I knew from the beginning that she had a hit on her hands. She made the characters come alive and anyone who reads this book knows someone who is Vera, Aunt Cookie, or any of the characters or situations. This is a book that people can relate to in their lives. I can't wait to hopefully have the opportunity to work with Ms. Whitaker again on the sequel to Flip Side because I know that too will be a success. This girl has a gift that should not be kept hidden. For anyone who has not had the opportunity to read this book they should run right out now and get a copy of it.

Creative Impressions Review

Superbly written and down to earth...Congratulations to Tu-Shonda Whitaker!!! "Flip Side of the Game" is not your average "TCP" novel. This heartwarming story will have you laughing and crying out for more. The main characters: Vera is so real, Taj is a woman's dream, and Aunt Cookie and Uncle Boy (you'll find each of them in everyone's family). "Flip Side" is a page turner and a must read.
