“Life, Love & Loneliness” (Melodrama, $ 15). This Essence bestseller and debut novel of 24-year-old author Crystal Lacey Winslow peeks into the lives of five Black professionals facing challenges. You'll love to hate the dangerously self-centered lead character, Lyric Devaney, an aspiring Black actress who will stop at nothing to get what she wants –- even at the expense of her friends, family, and lovers. But when she plots to plots to expose the kinky sex secrets and expected love child of the married mayor she's having an affair with, you won't want to put down this pageturner to see if she'll ever get hers.
