A Book Review
Last night, I finished reading the second of the three books by Tracy Brown, purchased for my birthday as gifts from my best friend, and I truly like this one so much more than Hold You Down.
Don’t get me wrong, both books are sensational and the author does a great job introducing developed and layered characters to us in each delivery. Still, something about Single Black Female will stick with me for many years to come.
Below is the Amazon review I submitted:
“I Got Emotional So Many Times
And I am not afraid to admit that. “Single Black Female” is the story so many Black women can relate to.
I love how the author, Tracy Brown, depicts each character. We get a full view of each of their personalities, and it’s a believable fictional tale. I found myself connecting with each of the four women: Ivy, Coco, Nikki, & Deja. I feel like there’s a sliver of each of them within me.
Their bond and closeness reminded me of true friendship and sisterhood. I got so emotional during several chapters and at the very end as well.
It is a breath of fresh air reading a happy and positive ending. One that showcases the women having a delightful conversation and enjoying themselves amongst the peace and somewhat quiet of Brooklyn for a “picnic.”
I teared up simply thinking about the women closest to me and about my brothers and my baby sister, and how hard I would war for all of them if I had to–be it against authoritative figures or their friends and loved ones.
The power and authenticity of love and its effectiveness of a genuine friendship know no bounds and can withstand any evil. And Tracy Brown does such an amazing job portraying that with this book.
I highly recommend it!”
If you’re looking to pick up a book that will stir something alive in you and make you remember just how grateful you are for friendship and love amid turmoil, this book will do exactly that.

It’s hard finding writers/authors who can tell a story that’s relatable and not raunchy and predictable. I think she wrote about what she knew and what people around her experienced and she did so in a way that’s digestible.
Sucks she won’t be writing anything else again. She died last year at the age of 48 years old. 🥺

Ooohh, that’s so young 😔. As a former avid reader, I mourned the loss of Bebe Moore Campbell and J. California Cooper. You get attached to writers who can weave a good story, for sure.
