If All Men Cheat, Women Should Too!
Imagine you’re a beautiful woman, body like a brick house, career driven, could cook like a Southern chef, clean like a veteran maid and sex your man like a porn star. Now imagine being in a relationship with a man who is unapologetically mentally and verbally abusive, disrespectful, AND cheats on you! That’s just a brief description of Janae’s relationship with Tae.
Tae was absolutely cocky, he no longer cared about hiding his cheating; he figured, if Janae hadn’t left him the first time she found out he was cheating, then she probably wouldn’t leave him the next...
Most people would dismiss a girl like Janae as stupid and naïve; someone who needed to wake up and realize that there were other men in this world and move on. But when a man has a mental hold on you, for some women, it’s not that easy.
Tae robbed Janae of her self-esteem. His constant put-downs and unfiltered disrespect became the norm for her. He frowned at her tears and did as he pleased. His actions forced Janae to compare herself to the women he cheated with and wonder why she wasn’t good enough. Eventually, trying to please Tae became her only purpose.
Being a faithful girlfriend was something Janae took pride in. Somehow, she allowed Tae to define her; she felt like she wasn’t whole without him. Finally, a series of events helped Janae discover her worth...
Still withering in the wings of her broken relationship, will Janae stay with Tae and believe that he can and will change? Or will she rebel and act upon the old adage, ‘if you can’t beat em’, join em’?

The word to use to describe this book is OUTSTANDING! I could not put this book down if I wanted to, thats just how much I wanted to turn those pages. I have to admit this girl was definitely naive at first to the point you wanted to reach inside the book and just smack some since into her A**!! She finally got the point and made Moves to make her happy, but would it last? Have to read and find out! I highly recommend this book.

LaShonda! LaShonda!! AGAIN you have done it!!.... After reading AHCS 1-3 i knew you had a fan in me, so when you announced this book i knew i was going to purchase it. I enjoyed this book just as much it was a page turned.... I hated every second of Tae and I felt sooo bad for Janae, it was like no matter what she just could not get a break Tae was just a dog, down right!...Its like you see in the real world the good girl always wants the bad boy even when they know its bad, Janae know Tae was cheating on her but she would always take him back no matter what, I was just hoping that Janae would get it together and leave him alone. After reading this and reading all the things Janae had to deal with.. all which were so realistic make you think Do all men cheat?...
Aside for the book really being good Shonda also touched on great issues within the book such as AIDS and being tested, Cervical Cancer and being tested, and overall finding love in yourself!!
Great book, great read... I enjoyed it!! Keep them coming!!

If All Men Cheat, All Women Should Too by LaShonda Devaughn was a good and interest book to read. This is my first book reading from this author. LaShonda Devaughn did a good job because it was well written and well characters.
In the beginning of the book, it was steady and funny at the same time. Each of the characters have their own issues problem. I could related to Janae because my ex has cheating on me with another female and he got her pregnancy. He did not care about my feeling. I am happy that Janae speaks up for herself because she realizes that Damion and Tae mistreated her wrong. I thought Damion and Janae will be a wonderful couples but he didn’t tell her truth about his kids and girlfriend. I felt bad what’s happen to Ms. Michelle. In the end of the book, it was sad and emotion.
So far, I enjoyed reading this book. I am looking forward reading another book from this author because LaShonda Devaughn deserves a five for this book.

Two wrongs definitely don't make a right and Janae learned that lesson the hard way! This book had me so heated and at times I wanted to chunk my Nook across the room! That Tae was like bad news Brown! He will make you want to jump into the book and do him some serious harm! Shonda introduces you to some very interesting and memorable characters like Ms. Michelle. I also liked that she raised awareness to some very important issues! It's a fast paced, edge of your seat, page turner!

I have read all of LeShonda's work and this was another good read. Janae is in a relationship with Tae, who constantly cheats and belittles her. All of Janae's friends tell her to leave him alone but she never listens. Janae went through lots of struggles that most women experience at least once in their life. When a women's fed up, there is nothing you can do it about it. This was very realistic and the ending was very sad and unexpected. Overall I would definitely recommend this book.

So I was ready for a typical "man cheats on woman, woman cheats back" story. Boy was I wrong. Nothing about this book is typical. While there definitely is some infidelity that takes place, I was NOT ready for the rest. Curveball after curveball. This author has a great send of storytelling. I couldn't put the book down and the end left me with my mouth wide open. Excellent job. I will be purchasing other work from this author in the future.

I initially thought this book was all over the place, but after thinking about it, it's just the title that's misleading. The story is so much deeper than some silly cheat war between men and women. It's a tragic story of the trials of a woman's life and her journey to finding inner peace. I guess the title was just slapped on as something catchy to attract readers, lol.
