The Best of Everything

fullDescription

"[This] thought-provoking novel continues the Reverend Curtis Black series" with the New York Times–bestselling story of his scandalous newlywed daughter (Booklist).
Readers who just can't get enough of the Reverend Curtis Black—the charming con man and insufferable womanizer who stars in Sin No More, The Best-Kept Secret, and other acclaimed, bestselling novels by Kimberla Lawson Roby—are going to love his daughter, Alicia. In The Best of Everything, Alicia Black takes center stage while the rascally pastor stands on the sidelines, and Roby triumphs once again. The Best of Everything is provocative entertainment—because when it comes to outrageous behavior, "like father, like daughter" definitely applies.
"The Best of Everything is one of the best things you'll put on your shopping list this week." —Tennessee Tribune

     October 27, 2008
     Roby’s disappointing sixth entry in her Rev. Curtis Black series (after 2008’s Sin No More
     ) focuses on Alicia Black Sullivan, his beautiful and spoiled 22-year-old daughter. Accustomed to getting anything she wants, Alicia shops like daddy still picks up the tab. This is a source of endless agitation for her new husband, young pastor Phillip Sullivan, a genuinely good man. Though he tries to set limits, Alicia stubbornly plows forward, and her self-centered ways result in deceit, infidelity and, finally, divorce. Unsurprisingly, Alicia learns nothing from her tragedy except that she should strive to marry a wealthier man. Roby’s message of Christian forgiveness, a common theme in her work, doesn’t succeed here: characters tolerate situations until they become untenable and then walk away. Alicia’s selfish behavior is alienating, and her unwillingness or inability to learn from her mistakes leaves readers wondering why they should care at all.
