I absolutely love Mary Monroe but it is not a secret to say that this book fell off the radar completely. Let's take a look at the series. God Don't Like Ugly, God still don't like Ugly, and God don't Play. ALL great reads and I absolutely love the thriller ride. However I am so confused by this book. Annette is back and for the first three installments she had been considered ugly and fat, and dark. Even though she found love in a child hood friend the fact was she looked a certain way. It was ...more
Just because family and friends can't see your secrets....God ain't blind...He sees everything!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said before, Mary Monroe has good intentions. I think her ability to put an engaging plot together is amazing. While reading this book, I truly did have trouble putting it down because I wanted to find out what was going to happen next.
Her problem is the characters. Her characters are about as flat and one-dimensional as a sheet of paper. In previous books, I certainly at least liked Annette more than this one. This was a completely different Annette than what I am used t...more

I enjoyed this installment in Mary's 'God' series. This one started out a little slow for me but in the end I was fully sucked in by the drama and the twists. Without spoiling the book for anybody I will say that I was very surprised by the turnout of the story behind what was really going on with Pee Wee, as well as Louis Barnes' true motives. In the end I was conflicted between feeling sorry for Annette and thinking that she made her bed and that she deserved some of what happened.

Read this for book group...and the only reason I finished it was because I wanted to see how this mess would end. This is the second Mary Monroe novel I've read and the second time I've wondered whether she has an editor and, if so, whether he/she has read anything since high school. And this is the second time I'll add the disclaimer that I don't generally read mainstream fiction...

This book was ok, Also the rhythm was off she used profanity like it was going out of style, I know certain circles dont have an extensive vocabulary, but somehow it seemed over used and out of place. it could have went a few diff ways for me, especially the ending, I didn't like how it ended but she can't win em all. Nothing will ever touch God Don't like Ugly
I liked that this book was so real. It is the kind of story that really happens. The characters were authentic and well drawn. There are lessons taught in this book but they are not done in the usual preachy, better-than-thou way. I enjoyed the book as well as contemplating on the message of the story afterwords.
I did finish this so I figured I had to give it 2 stars, 3 being my minimum to read it again. It is one of the only books that I permanently deleted from my amazon account. I seriously don't know why the average rating is over 3 stars.

I am goin to read this installment but "god don't play is the third installment the this one is behind it
This book was cool from the start to the end I think it was the best out of the god books that she wrote
~Annette is so DUMB sometimes and so is her BFF, Rhoda, but I love the series^^~
can't post my review here. it will be in the September Romantic Times Book Review
I found the book very enjoyable. Just goes to show how important communication and honesty are in a marriage. I look forward to reading Mary Monroe next book.
I enjoyed this book as I have all the others in this series. I had been looking forward to this newest book. Annette is one of my favorite characters. I can relate to her in several ways.
its amazing
An easy read
Refers to book on tape. Oh boy! I love it. Certainly the weakest of the Mary Monroe books I have listened to thus far.
This book was okay.It had some nice twist in it, but mainly predictable. it was kind of raunchy at some times. But it was a decent read
Don't leave me hanging!
I did not expect Annette to be acting this way. I was disappointed in her. But I still enjoyed the book as I do all of her books.
This particular book in this series is honestly the worst to me. I was very disappointed in the delivery and writing style. If you are expecting this book to be like the rest you are sadly mistaken.
I almost stopped reading this book because it didn't seem to be going anywhere. But I kept on and it sucked me in like a cheesy soap-opera. I ended up liking the book and the quirky characters.
I love this book and vivid characters. The main character Annette is so relate able and true to life that I feel as though I know her and understand her struggle as if we were best friends.
Had all the elements juicy suspense and love triangles. Part of a series so it brought back old emotions from previous books by her
Just as the two books before, they are ok. Not anything to get worked up about but at least this series is a quick read....
I didn't like it. The story was blah the ending was blah. I wouldn't reccomend it.
