Sammie Davis's life is constant chaos--which is exactly the life that Marie Morgan wants for herself. Marie Morgan, a single mother of two, is currently separated from her husband. One day on the way to work, Marie befriends Sammie in an Atlanta subway station. With her short skirts, high heels, and occasional birdcage hairdo, Sammie is everything Marie is not--fearless, brazen, flamboyant, and completely sure of herself. A woman who flaunts her wild unconventionality, Sammie exudes self-confidence and dares to laugh at life. Marie feels empowered by her new friend, and Sammie is always there whenever Marie feels the urge to be a little wild. But beneath her facade of bravado and sexual abandon, Sammie conceals her own deep pain and a dark history that gradually comes to light. A powerful novel about the doubts, insecurities, and low self-esteem that can sabotage our most important relationships, All That Drama offers a fresh, witty, and moving look at women's issues, and the sisterhood that can also sustain us through life's toughest times.

The book is not told from a beginning-to-end fashion. The author actually starts out with the closing scene and then proceeds to describe the events and people involved in leading up to the scene. There were definitely some unexplained gaps in the story and in Marie's and Sammie's relationship with each other. But I think the author did a good job of letting the reader get to know the characters through their thoughts and actions.
Sammie's current behavior is better explained in the author's next book, Lawd Mo' Drama, and it explains why Sammie seems to always choose men who not only disrespect her but abuse and mistreat her. Feeling unloved by her mother, she seeks love at any cost - even if it hurts physically. Marie also had her bad choices in men. While I never expected her mild-mannered boyfriend, Norman, to totally snap the way he did, I felt the author gave the impression that there was something not quite right about Norman. Even crazy people can act normal for a short time and that is what it seems like Norman did.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and am looking forward to completing the sequel. If you are the type of reader who needs a happy ending then this book is definitely not for you. I think it is brave of the author to think outside the box and try something new. And, as unfortunate as it may be, the book's ending situation occurs quite often in real life. Bravo to the author for Keeping It Real!!! ( )
