BOOK SYNOPIS
After losing her husband, Betty decides to open up her dream café; in hopes of escaping the reality of her husband’s death. Baking sweets and serving coffee was the plan. However, healing the souls of six women became the purpose.
How must they all heal, if they continue to remain voiceless to their own propaganda? Each woman has a skeleton that must be excavated, a past that must be forgiven, a secret that must be told, and a soul that must be healed.

The book was AWESOME. You never know what a person going or been through that makes them react the way they do about certain situations. I loved it!!!

Very powerful story, very good message, it was good and definitely a book for healing, my only discretion is that it was a bit too much trauma, but it was articulated very well though. But overall, a good read! You are a very detailed writer, and your vocabulary is superb. I like that. But I felt like everyone’s trauma was heavy, HEAVY.

It is a gooooood book. I absolutely loved it. I Want to know who’s calling the shots??? 👀👀👀 Malaysia or Ruth?? I NEED A #2!!!!!! Next book I Want to know more about each person. Oh… what I couldn’t understand is the part about Valarie and her condition. I don’t get it… you lost me with that one, but it was good. It makes me ready to buy the next book, because I know it’s going to explain what happen to Valarie. This book had me on the edge, lol. I’m so ready for the next book to come out. Lastly, I honestly want to say Thank You, to the Author, because the book actually opened my eyes to a few things that I didn’t really pay attention to. I’ve been working all these jobs and not really paying attention to my health, and I’ve been having some things go on that need attended to and I made a doctors’ appointment for Monday, so Thank You. Waiting on Let’s Talk About It #2.

I have to give 5 stars. Let’s Talk About It was addictive at the very beginning until the end. I was on a roller coaster ride from crying, laughing, using profanity, in a zone until I was ready to fight. When I say this author put me on a visual ride. She took me to a level as if I was part of the scenes. I was asking for guidance and encouragement for the characters. Stop assuming things about people and get to know them for self. You’ll be surprised at the end results. That’s what I loved about “Betty” she’s open minded, strong, level-headed, and motivator. I am ready for the next book.!!! The genre of this book is domestic - suspense - family drama. Its only domestic suspense because of Melvin, that bastard, I hate him with my guts.

Hey! I just finished the book. I loved it! I felt like I knew the characters personally. I felt their pain, heard their laughter, and could picture their faces. Now I do want to know… who was calling the shots? Since Jason is dead, lol. But I’m happy for you and just know you did a job making everything come alive. Can’t wait for your next project.

LET’S TALK ABOUT IT! So, I just finished 236 pages… I’m looking for more and definitely wondering who call the shots for the crew. Now, lol, mainly I took this from the book - we as women are so quick to judge without knowing the story behind one another. She may dress fancy but inside she may be damaged and broken. She may be the sweetest woman, but we don’t know how long she cries herself to sleep a night. We all need a venting place. We all need a voice that can be not only heard but understood. My story may not be your story but that don’t make me better or less than the next. I am writing a book that will be out soon but it’s poetry. I was so happy to see that espresso yourself was an inspiration and that’s what all women should be able to do, over wine, tea, and hell some good ass coffee lol. You are amazing Angel and always have been since I’ve known you. I would watch you sit at the computer at Michelle’s place typing up stories. You have a gift that is definitely ready to be unwrapped.

Great Read!!!
The book was a slow start for me, but once it got started I buckled up and was sent on a ride. This book was so relatable, sometimes too relatable. I laughed, cried, felt anger, hurt and proud, throughout this book. I truly felt this book was made for me, it was made to help me face my past, cry and release those emotions, with that being said, Truth be told, I am so glad I read this book, I love the book so much, and I fell in love with certain characters of the book. Highly recommend!!
