(Im)Perfectly Happy

By: Sharina Harris

Narrated by: Ebony Ford, Ebony Mendez, Staci Mitchell, Tamra Thompson

When four college friends formed the Brown Sugarettes Mastermind Group, they had very different goals - but matched each other in ambition. Yet 10 years later, they can’t help wondering what happened to the hopeful, confident, driven women they used to be - and how to get them back....

Radio personality Raina, known as “the black Delilah”, hates the wholesome persona that’s made her a success. Doling out syrupy versions of her grandma’s wisdom feels worlds away from the sarcastic, tell-it-like-it-is woman Raina really is.

Kara Jones was sure she’d be a master sommelier by 30. Life and loss interfered with that plan. Now, she has one more chance - but it’s taking a toll on her self-esteem and her marriage.

Nikki Grayson hardly recognizes the stay-at-home mom she’s become. When her band signed a record deal, she swapped the limelight for a minivan and a sensible ’do. Now, she’s wishing she had followed her heart. Instead, she’s drowning her regret in alcohol.

Public Defender Sienna Njeri willingly put her city council aspirations aside to support her fiancé’s bid for office - and now she’s wondering if her loyalty is misplaced.

Longing for the support, advice, and tough love they once shared, all four resolve to start meeting up again. After all, their dreams may still be within reach. But are they worth the price they’ll pay to achieve them?

I Learned Some Valuable Lessons

Even with the main characters having their own distinct personalities, I was able to see parts of myself in each one. Their stories taught me lessons I wasn't even expecting. On top of the reminder that I'm never too old to pursue anything I want - it taught me the importance of good communication, standing up for what I believe in, and that vulnerability is a strength - not a weakness. Well written and moving. Also, Nik and Sienna were my faves :)
Soooo only question I have is...when's the movie coming out?

LOVED it!

I loved this book! If you are looking for a book that highlights friendship as well as love and life’s twists & turns then this book is it. This book felt like one big hug and I enjoyed every minute of it.
It’s about four women in their 30s as they navigate through big changes in their lives. Seeing their friendship and sisterhood was my favorite part of the book! They supported each other as each of them decided to drastically change their lives including their love lives, careers, etc. The author and narrators did an excellent job!!!
