Black Girls Must Have It All

A Novel

By: Jayne Allen

Narrated by: Marcella Cox

In this final installment in the acclaimed Black Girls Must Die Exhausted trilogy, Tabitha is juggling work, relationships, and a newborn baby—but will she find the happy ending she’s always wanted?

After a whirlwind year, Tabitha Walker’s carefully organized plan to achieve the life she wanted—perfect job, dream husband, and stylish home—has gone off the rails. Her checklist now consists of diapers changed (infinite), showers taken (zero), tears cried (buckets), and hours of sleep (what’s that?).

Don't get her wrong, Tabby loves her new bundle of joy and motherhood is perhaps the only thing that's consistent for her these days. When the news station announces that they will be hiring outside competitors for the new anchor position, Tabby throws herself into her work. But it’s not just maintaining her position as the station’s weekend anchor that has her worried. All of her relationships seem to be shifting out of their regular orbits. Best friend Alexis can’t manage to strike the right balance in her “refurbished” marriage with Rob, and Laila’s gone from being a consistent ride-or-die to a newly minted entrepreneur trying to raise capital for her growing business. And when Marc presents her with an ultimatum about their relationship, coupled with an extended “visit” from his mother, Tabby is forced to take stock of her life and make a new plan for the future.

Consumed by work, motherhood, and love, Tabby finds herself isolated from her friends and family just when she needs them most. But help is always there when you ask for it, and Tabby’s village will once again rally around her as she comes to terms with her new life and faces her biggest challenge yet—choosing herself.

Perfect ending

Loved the series and what a perfect ending..Life doesn’t always go the way we have it mapped out but it always takes us through the twist and turns that we need..

Great overall series. Empowering, real and funny.

Easy listen and enjoyable. A feel good story and one that a lot of women can relate to on multiple levels

Great book

Want to hear whats next for Tabby. The writer left us hanging to a certain degree

An amazing book

I love the whole black girls series by Jayne Allen. Tabby Walker what do I say about her? I enjoyed learning so much about her and book one her and Marc their relationship her relationship with her friends her relationship with her coworker Lisa and her job and it was just great and I could relate to so much of it, this book did not disappoint. I also enjoyed the story. At some point I felt like she was a little whiny and kind of like a victim, but the pace pick back up and she kept it going. I really enjoyed it and I look forward to the next book.

Amazing Series

I love these books. They're so real and relatable, with some sprinkles of humor.

I LOVE THIS SERIES

I randomly found myself super emotional at the end of the book. Tabitha had to go through so much to find herself in the place where she ended up. The Journey to having the life of our dreams is often riddled full of obstacles but when we get to the other side more often than not it is all worth it

Great ending

I loved the entire trilogy. I found myself bonding with the characters and seeing myself in some of the same situations. Great listen

Outstanding books all three
