Who Is He To You by Monique D. Mensah is a story of three very different individuals who will soon realize…that nothing is as it seems. The reader is first introduced to Simone, a beautiful teenaged girl, who attends a prestigious private school. With Simone’s looks, she is the envy of many girls. What those girls do not realize is that Simone would gladly hand over her beauty if it meant she could be normal like them. With her beauty there comes a curse.
Jessica may have come from humble beginnings but she now lives a lavish lifestyle. She is married to Ross, a high profile attorney. Jessica’s sole purpose in life is to be the “perfect wife.” They live in a mansion with a maid. Do not be fooled though, because all that glitters is not gold. Jessica senses a noticeable change in her relationship with Ross and she will do anything to keep her marriage intact.
Ryan is hopelessly in love with her boyfriend, Anthony. She is in her mid-thirties and desperately holds on to the dream of them being married, regardless of Anthony’s disrespect and lies. Not sure of how much else she can tolerate, she slowly slips into a deep depression, starts seeing a psychiatrist and begins taking medication. Will she be able to let go before it is too late?
Who Is He To You by Monique D. Mensah is an excellent debut novel. This is a story you would expect to premiere as a Lifetime movie; a story so hauntingly sad and achingly heart wrenching. Ms. Mensah writes with such detail you are sure to feel as if you are reading a diary of sorts because of the rawness and realness of it all. Who Is He To You is one of the best books I have read this year. It is highly recommended for your reading pleasure.
