Big Girls Do Cry — Carl Weber

New York Times bestselling author Carl Weber cranks up the heat in this explosive follow-up to Something on the Side -- a novel of friendship, family ties, and the bonds -- and betrayals -- of love...

Isis and her sister, Egypt -- two of the original curvaceous members of the Big Girls Book Club -- have hightailed it out of New York and settled in Richmond, Virginia, where they've started a new chapter of the BGBC. The same rules apply here: You must be at least a bodacious size 14 to join.

Living in the plush suburbs, Isis has it all -- almost. The thirty-seven-year-old plus-size beauty is happily married to Rashid, and they're living in the lap of luxury. There's just one thing missing. They want to start a family.

Enter Egypt, who's moved into her sister's McMansion with dreams of starting over. There's just one hitch: before her sister married Rashid, he was Egypt's man for ten years. Egypt thought she was over him, but the close quarters are giving both her and her sister doubts. She's ready to pack her bags until Isis and Rashid ask her for a serious favor. Egypt knows she shouldn't get involved, but she can't say no to her sister -- even if the price might be way too high for them all.

Egypt isn't the only one with drama. Rumor has it that Loraine -- Isis's brilliant boss and one of BGBC's newest members -- is in the running to be her sorority's next national president. But Loraine has more than one secret that will ruin her if they ever see the light of day. Thank goodness only one other person knows them -- BGBC's first male member, Jerome -- and what he knows just might destroy him.

As friendships and family and past and present collide, these book lovers are about to learn that drama can follow you wherever you go -- and that big girls do cry...
