I read a lot of books. And I hate to admit it, but I get sick and tired of these urban books sometimes. They all seem to tell the same story over and over with different characters.
When I picked up "Expensive Taste" I took one look at the cover and said to myself "Here we go again..."
The saying "Never judge a book by it's cover." rang true in the instance of this novel. The story takes the classic rags to riches story and makes it juicy and exciting. It tells the story of a young, Black woman named Mirror who grew up poor in a trailer park that has become a successful business woman who owns her own boutique. She hates her now homeless mother who is a painful reminder of the life she tries to forget.
What she hides is the fact that she stocks her shelves with stolen goods and uses men to finance her lavish lifestyle including screwing a plastic surgeon to get a fake ass for free. When she gets caught stealing she's saved by the owner of the Houston Rockets who she starts to date immediately after. That's when the story gets good. There's someone out to destroy her and she doesn't know who it is because of all the enemies she had made over the years. Plus, Mirror is hiding some very scandalous secrets that you will not believe!
This is an excellent book. The plot twist at the end will leave you with your mouth hanging open in shock. This is one of those books you can easily read in one day.
So click on the pic above and get your copy of "Expensive Taste" by Tiphani.
