Summary: Never a dull moment
Review: What do a doberman, a gay hairdresser, an ex-model mama, and an entertainment lawyer have in common? They're all looking out for Shawni Baldwin. In Boles' debut novel, Blame It On Eve, her prominent themes of self-reliance and independence come wrapped with hilarious shenanigans, emotional pauses, and glorious triumphs as Shawni tells her story. A former model wanting to start anew as a personal stylist, Shawni has it all: the superfine fiancee, the baby blue Lexus, and the plush pad in Manhattan. Yet, she finds something is missing from her world when she meets up with a sexy R&B singer client. From then on, Shawni is forced to reevaluate her stance on life, and the fact that she is so dependent on men.Boles' characters jump off the page at you, demanding to be heard. Fantasic secondary characterizations tie the story together extremely well, yet we are always sure that Shawni is our protagonist, as she narrates her life altering experiences. I never once got bored with this extraordinary novel from a very promising author. ~Reviewed by CandaceK
