(More customer reviews)Adeena LaBeau had a vivid dream of a December wedding. While she could not see the bride in the dream, she knows she has three eligible daughters, so one of them has to be the bride. She makes it her business to marry off one of her daughters in Debra Phillips newest novel, Too Much Drama.
Donneeka (Neeka) LaBeau is the oldest of Adeena's daughters; therefore it would make the most sense for Adeena to find her a husband. The intended groom to be is an old neighbor, Braxton Dupree. Neeka is outraged at her mother's audacity in planning her life. However, Neeka and her sisters, Princess and Mercedes are powerless when it comes to their mother. They all work for her in the family business Diva Four Cosmetic Company. The condos they live in and the cars they drive are all purchased and paid for by their mother. In an effort to bring Braxton and Neeka together, Adeena arranges for Neeka to go on a business trip to Texas and hires Braxton to drive her from California to Austin, Texas in a RV. One thing that Adeena did not count on was Braxton encouraging Neeka to take back control of her life. Neeka did not count on was being attracted to Braxton. Upon her return to California, Neeka is a new person, determined to take control over her life and in her quest to do so, reveals a painful secret of her mother's and has to suffer the consequences.
Too Much Drama was just that, much drama, however, funny drama that was easy to read and had quite a few laugh out loud moments. It also showed young ladies trying to empower themselves against strong obstacles. I thought Adeena LaBeau was a little over the top with her strong religious convictions, picture taking and controlling temperament, but her actions really shaped her daughters' thoughts and behaviors. I really enjoyed this book. It's a summertime read. Take it to the beach, or save it for a rainy day, like I did.
