When Desiree Washington ventures into the darkly glittering world of legendary singer Bebe Jones, she gets more than just a job. She gets a family in crisis, a diva meltdown, and a head full of stitches... The Unraveling of Bebe Jones revolves around the rich and famous Jones family and the people who work for them as they cope through an array of personal dramas. The story begins at the height of the Global Financial Crisis, when 23-year-old Desiree Washington lands a job with her idol, legendary R&B singer Bebe Jones. Desiree quickly discovers that the outwardly perfect Bebe is in fact a troubled and lonely diva reeling from a career in decline and a marriage in tatters, and that behind all the money, glamor and fame, there are skeletons in the family closet. Throughout all of this Desiree seeks support from her best friend Sean Minton, an aspiring music producer who hails from the insulated world of New York's black elite burdened with secrets of his own. Rounding out the cast are Bebe's husband, Magnus Chadwick, a British hedge fund manager who cares more about money than family; her disgruntled household staff - all with strange ties to Bebe; and her children, brave casualties of their mother's nightmare.

I loved loved loved this book because it's something new and different in black literature! Finally!!! Not typical urban sex gangster poverty slave legacy drama you see so everywhere. The story is gripping, fast paced and very well written. The characters were developed nicely and you really felt you got to know them quiet well. The story is about a famous diva singer struggling with drug alcohol addiction as well as crumbling marriage and career meltdown. Told from the point of view of three main characters, Desiree, Bebe and Sean. It ends a little abruptly but this is first in series it looks like. Looking forward to more from this author, highly recommended!!! Thank you!
