What's Real

By Daaimah S. Poole

Book Overview

Daaimah S. Poole follows up her hot, hilarious hit novels "Yo Yo Love" and "Got a Man" with the adventures of three sistahs from Philly who are about to take Miami by storm . . . Philadelphia twentysomethings Janelle, Natalie, and Tanya are gonna lose it if they don't get a break from their dull daily routines. Janelle has had it with her boring job as assistant manager at a clothing store. As for Natalie, with a baby to take care of and a husband who won't even change a diaper, she needs a time-out. Tanya is just looking for a good time and a man with a big, thick . . . wallet. Given the chance, these girls like to play, and their playground of choice is Miami. Almost as soon as they hit the beach they find themselves drawn into a fast-moving, flashy world of rappers, ballers, celebrities, and VIPs with cash to burn. But before this wild ride is over, they just may find that all that glitters ain't gold, and a good reality is worth way more than a fleeting fantasy . . . .

Another Damaaih Poole Classic

I loved this book!!! The characters in it were so realistic and the Miami situation is probably one that almost all friends who are familiar with Miami for Memorial Day have probably experienced. I will definetly read this book again!

What's Real - keepin it real

This book was quite enjoyable. What's Real couldn't top YO YO love but I still enjoyed it. The special twist at the end was the best - it was totally unexpected. What's Real kept you thinking about your own relationships. Daaimah kept it real with this book, page by page reality. I couldn't put the book down. I like the way one of the characters stood by her man - no matter what. The other character was very confused, but in the end got herself together. This book could use a sequel.

Me and my friends are going to Miami

This book was cute and true about three friends Janelle, Tanya and Natalie who take a trip together to Miami. Janelle has it all together, Tanya is the hoochie, and Natalie is the lonely housewife. They all have their problems and they all help each other with them like true friends do. This book was a picture of me and my friends I could really relate.

What's really good???

I just finished "What's Real" and it was off the hook! The characters and situations are very realistic. The chick Tanya I could not stand in the beginning, but towards the end, she changed for the better. I loved this book. Good job Daaimah! I can't wait for her next novel!

I"m Going to Miami

I'm going to Miami with my friends and I hope I meet a rapper and a NFL player. But, seriously DSP did the damnthing. I really enjoyed this read. I read it in two days and it was like 300 pages, but it was that good. I recommend this book and her first book Yo Yo Love.
