This was my most anticipated read of the year. As a huge fan of both movies and the miniseries, I was super excited when the news dropped that it will be a continuation of The Best Man in book format, following up after the miniseries.
Honestly, reading this was like watching the characters on screen again. If you’ve seen the movies and series, these groups of friends will definitely have you on a rollercoaster.
The love triangle between Harper, Robyn, and Jordan still continues. You also get to dive deeper into these characters and how their minds work. Yes, it gets a bit messy too.
Harper is still Harper, lol. But he seems to be coming to terms with how his selfishness affects his loved ones. He may be learning a bit, I think.
Robyn is enjoying Ghana. She’s running a business and being a mom to Mia. She’s also getting to know someone new. But everything seems to be taking a toll on Mia with her parents not being together. Things start to get real emotional.
I always liked Jordan because she was an educated, strong, black woman. She took no mess and was just so BAD@$$. Now you get to see a whole different side of her. Wheww 😮💨. I now see why she is the way she is.
Murch, Lance, Quentin, Shelby, and Candace make appearances also, but this book solely centers on Harper, Robyn, and Jordan.
Now, this does leave off on a cliffhanger, being that it’s going to be a trilogy, but you’re going to want to get into it. It’s going to have you wanting more, but you do not want to miss this tea 🫖.
