Summary
Tracy Brown's Single Black Female is a taut, edgy, deftly spun novel about four friends grappling with the dramatic twists and turns of life, love and what it means to “make it” in America.
Ivy Donovan is a successful stylist, entrepreneur, and single mom who has been loyal to her sons’ father, Michael, who’s serving a lengthy prison sentence. But life has gotten lonely over the years, and Ivy wants more for herself. Michael, however, isn’t about to lose his family.
Coco Norris is well-off, single, childless, and struggling with her allegiance to emotionally unavailable men. When she finds a man who seems like he can give her everything she has ever wanted, Coco soon discovers that she has taken on more than she can possibly handle.
Deja Maddox is a real estate agent who is married to Bobby, a police sergeant with the NYPD. They have assimilated, looking down on anything that doesn’t fit their buttoned-up, polished life. But Deja isn’t as satisfied as she would like everyone to believe. When Deja’s past returns with a vengeance, she’s forced to face herself as her “perfect” life begins to crumble.
Nikki Diamond is a savvy, self-made businesswoman and social media darling who lives large and with no regrets. She’s also Deja’s little sister and thinks her sister can have so much more than her ho-hum marriage. And Nikki is all too happy to lend a “helping” hand to make that happen.
Things come to a head when Ivy’s youngest son, Kingston, is caught up in a polarizing encounter with the NYPD. Everyone must figure out where they stand, including Bobby, who suddenly has to decide if his “blue life” matters more to him than his Black life and the Black lives of those he loves.
Single Black Female highlights the nuances of Black love, the often tested bonds of Black families, what it means to face the world as a Black man and the joy and pain of being a Black woman.

Great story and really well read
Narrator is brilliant in this book. Whizzed through as I was enjoying it so much. I would highly recommend! Narrator has a brilliant way of bringing characters to life without ruining the flow of the story and bringing them to life, making the story so enjoyable!

Good, but I wanted more
This was a really good book. But I feel it ended way too soon. I believe the ending was rushed, it didn't leave any indication for a part 2. But overall it was a good story

Complex exposition of how racism blights
Parts of the storyline just so painful to endure. Tracy Brown has a piercing undertanding of the way in which racism pervades the ordinary lives of black women and how that racism in turn robs them of healthy relationsips with the loves of their life. Through it all the women are strong and focussed in their own way, a good portrayal of the human race survival instinct and how that instinct brings joy and motivation to succeed. Well done Tracy!
