Kaira’s debut novel, Take it There, introduces the
dynamic trio of Brittany, Nia and Shari. The new breed of
young African American professionals who epitomize the “other”
nine to five, where urban professionals trade their proper
English, phony smiles and professional demeanor for street
savvy, quick tongued around the way vernacular and mannerisms.
Will taking it there prove to be disastrous for the girls
or will it lead them to ultimate happiness?
Brittany’s outlandish views of love and sex are entertaining
at most, but sad because there are many women out there that
think just like her. Self centered, raunchy and sometimes
obnoxiously conceited, Brittany is the token character that
you love to hate. Unfortunately, she lands in a heap of trouble
midway through the story and a softer, more human side brilliantly
shines through and finally, you begin to feel sorry for her
ignorance and relate to her misguided views of life.
Think of an African American version of Charlotte from Sex
and the City when describing Nia. Her innocence is sometimes
laughable. Nia proves to often be a voice of reason to her
friends. Astonishingly beautiful, Nia’s the only one
who doesn’t quite realize it, at first. Until she meets
a special friend while away on a business trip, Nia thinks
her life is good enough. She’d just reunited with an
ex boyfriend (who didn’t deserve a second chance), but
left Houston still fantasizing about her new friend.
Shari’s marriage would make anyone jealous. Her husband,
Dexter, is a breath of fresh air. Shari has a shaky history
of past relationships that prevents her from fully trusting
her husband. When Shari does the ultimate no-no by letting
another woman stay in her house, her downward, and sometimes
maniacal spiral of her insecurities weakens her to the point
of running home to her momma. And her husband running away
from her.
With humor, steamy sex scenes and oh so realistic situations,
the drama of Take it There is sure to entertain and hopefully
teach young women a thing or two about respecting their bodies.
It’s a great read for anyone that likes to sit back,
laugh, cry and blush at the realistic dialogue and situations.
