Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Mary Monroe's heart-stopping tale about a woman who's suffered too much to give up on herself, even if everyone else has …

Growing up, Annette Goode thought all men were as low-down as the father who abandoned her, including the boarder who abused her for years and the men she slept with to earn the money she needed to run away from her life. Now, after decades of heartache and severing ties with her dangerously unstable friend Rhoda, Annette's real life has started to take shape …

But her dark past won't let her go. When an old secret scares away her fiancé, Annette settles with Pee Wee Davis, her on-again, off-again sweetheart since childhood. Then her ex-friend Rhoda suddenly walks back into her life, forcing Annette to decide what she should believe—and what she can forgive—as she tries to salvage the one relationship she just can't seem to let go …

I really enjoyed the first book, God Don't Like Ugly. After I finished it, I needed more and purchased God Still Don't Like Ugly. I was disappointed with the second book. About 50% of it is a recap of the first one.......more

I was kinda disappointed with this one. I felt like the majority of this book was a rehash from the first story and it didn't really pick up until the last 25%. I'm gonna continue making my way through the series. :)......more

Goodreads review by LaRhonda on November 08, 2012

It's official! I'm not a fan of this author! Her writing style was over-bearing & exhausting. This book was better than the 1st one...however; I still wasn't crazy about it. The book did close the gaps left open in the 1st book; therefore I will not be reading the other books in the series. Annette......more

The negative: the main character annoyed me, I found it hard to believe much of the aftermath of P.'s story and I wish we could have had more of Rhoda's story......more
