You Made A Fool Of Me

By Rasheed Clark

Trigger Warning: This book is not for the weak or easily bothered

Nobody will beg you to read this book. Honestly, you might want to slam it shut halfway through, throw it across the room asking yourself what did you just read, and write a scathing or petty one- or two-star review about how much you didn't like it, just to have something to say to remain relevant. Or feel like your mouth is a prayer book when negative reviews only make people curious about something and make them want to prove you wrong.

Mission accomplished ?

You might even run to social media, heated, because it pulled emotions out of you over characters who aren't even real. This is what you are in for with this book. Just like an actor makes you love a character, when you feel "something" about a book, the author did their job. You will be angry. Not everyone will love what you do or say either.

Fantasy is what some people want, however, reality is what some need. If it strikes a nerve, so be it. This book wasn't written to become the next great literary darling. It's not trying to walk in the shoes of Kennedy Ryan's grace, Terry McMillan's wisdom, Eric Jerome Dickey's master storytelling, or Danielle Allen's finesse. It's not here to be pretty. It is here to be honest. Messy. Somebody has gone through this. It is based on true stories. Real people.

It is grittier. Unfiltered. More than some are ready to admit.

This isn't a redemption story. It is a confrontation.

You might laugh. You might cry. If you walk away angry, uncomfortable, or deep in your feelings - maybe it's because this story forced you to think about something you have been avoiding. So will that one-star review be about the book or you?

Let that marinate.

And if you are still like NeeNee punishing yourself for the choices you made like she did on page 173 - ask yourself, why are you making others apologize for what you have been through?

Wait Now, are you sure you even want to read this after all of that? You have been warned. With that said...

From Rasheed Clark, the bestselling author of the explosive debut novel Stories I Wouldn't Tell Nobody But God, and the shocking sequel, Cold Summer Afternoon, comes a heart-stopping urban drama of love, betrayal, and the kind of secrets that don't just break hearts-they destroy lives...You Made A Fool of Me

NeeNee, a woman whose world is built on broken promises and lies, has spent her whole life running from the painful pieces of her past. The people that should have protected her, they left her unguarded. Her father gutted his family, trading his wedding vows for another woman's bed. Her mother who stopped fighting for everything, even her daughter, and her own sanity.

Then came him-the reason why storms have names. A man who walks into a room and rewrites gravity. Forbidden, magnetic, and dripping with a charm that threatens to ruin them both. He is the one man she was never supposed to touch, who awakens a love and passion that she never saw coming.

And then the other-calculated and controlled, a man who carries his own devastating set of secrets and who offers NeeNee everything she could have ever wanted, except the truth, leading to a moment that makes NeeNee question whether she was blind to the truth and just there to fulfill a need.

Told in Clark's signature style of brutal honesty and dark humor that will have you laughing one minute and gasping the next, this gripping story pulls you into the emotions and struggles of his characters and breaks you apart.

You Made A Fool of Me is Rasheed Clark at his absolute best-an unrivaled voice in urban fiction, written by a master storyteller, at the top of his game. No other book will prepare you for what you are about to read, not even his own. This story will haunt you long after you've turned the last page.
