Brief Summary:
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.
Review:
I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I was so excited to get caught up into Bebe’s world and couldn’t wait to find out how she’d figure everything out. I was intrigued by Sean and Desiree’s stories too, but Bebe’s struggling career and personal life really caught my eye. Everyone loves a good comeback story. I really enjoyed getting caught up in the world of the rich and very famous, I felt like I was rubbing elbows with Hollywood’s elite. I recommend this book 3 star book to anyone who likes a good solid story with twist and turns and a few skeletons in the closet along the way, xo!
