Great book! I love it when a book can keep me engaged and laughing. I really enjoyed the story of the 4 fraternity brothers, Colin, Ibn, Mike, and Dexter looking out for their deceased line brother, Trevor's sister. The love and devotion they shared towards her was phenomenal. While they couldn't get relationships right with their women, they adored Bunches aka Erika. A good mix of reality, brother, love, and friendship. I highly recommend.

Four guys (Ibn, Mike, Dexter and Colin) promised their deceased fraternity brother that they would always be there for his grandmother and little sister Erika. The readers get a glimpse into the life of being a friend, brother, mentor and son; while dealing with relationship highs and lows.

I must say that Ibn was a piece of work. At times I thought there was no help for him, but there’s always hope.

I was pleasantly surprised by the blossoming relationship that we witnessed at the end. The scene at the gravesite literally brought me to tears, and I hope we get to see more of these two.

I can’t believe it took me so long to read this page turner. Thank God, books don’t have an expiration date. If you haven’t read this book, please go do so.

A story of four Black guys who have taken on the responsibility of taking care of the younger sister of a fifth close friend who died of leukemia when they were in college. Delightful dialog and a direct analysis of how some men relate to women, especially when they become financially successful. This book came to my reading list from the Seattle Public Library's reading list "If you like E. Lynn Harris…" I enjoyed it and so Major's other books have been added to my reading list.

I didn't think I would like this book at first, but I really enjoyed this book. I especially enjoyed the author's humor throughout. Very refreshing. I listened by audio. The voices (especially the men) were scrumptious.

Very entertaining, but the language made my ears bleed. Was it really necessary?
