Synopsis

In this final installment in the acclaimed Black Girls Must Die Exhausted trilogy, Tabitha is juggling work, relationships, and a newborn baby—but will she find the happy ending she’s always wanted?After a whirlwind year, Tabitha Walker’s carefully organized plan to achieve the life she wanted—perfect job, dream husband, and stylish home—has gone off the rails. Her checklist now consists of diapers changed (infinite), showers taken (zero), tears cried (buckets), and hours of sleep (what’s that?).Don't get her wrong, Tabby loves her new bundle of joy and motherhood is perhaps the only thing that's consistent for her these days. When the news station announces that they will be hiring outside competitors for the new anchor position, Tabby throws herself into her work. But it’s not just maintaining her position as the station’s weekend anchor that has her worried. All of her relationships seem to be shifting out of their regular orbits. Best friend Alexis can’t manage to strike the right balance in her “refurbished” marriage with Rob, and Laila’s gone from being a consistent ride-or-die to a newly minted entrepreneur trying to raise capital for her growing business. And when Marc presents her with an ultimatum about their relationship, coupled with an extended “visit” from his mother, Tabby is forced to take stock of her life and make a new plan for the future.Consumed by work, motherhood, and love, Tabby finds herself isolated from her friends and family just when she needs them most. But help is always there when you ask for it, and Tabby’s village will once again rally around her as she comes to terms with her new life and faces her biggest challenge yet—choosing herself.

Hmmm let’s see …. 3rd and final book to this series & let me just say I’m glad it’s done. This definitely didn’t need to be a series. I didn’t connect with Tab when it came to motherhood & career but I did love and connect with the friendships she had with Alexis and Liala. I feel like we didn’t get......more

Its a no for me. There was hardly any dialogue just the same obsessive repeated thoughts that i found myself skipping through often. None of the main characters are likeable especially Tabby and Mark. Just kind of pointless.......more

I’m just glad it’s done 😅 UPDATE: If you’ve read books 1 & 2, you’ve read them all. Sooooo repetitive .. I didn’t learn anything new in this book that I didn’t already know from the previous two.......more
