Music producer on the rise Cyn Tha Starr knows what she likes, from her sickening beats in the studio to the flirty femmes she fools around with. Her ever-rotating roster has never been a problem until her latest fling clashes with Jucee, her best friend and the most popular dancer at strip club Sanity.

It makes Cyn see Jucee in a different light. One with far fewer boundaries and a lot more kissing.

Juleesa Jones makes great money dancing the early shift and spends most evenings with her son, her Sanity family or at Cyn’s house. Relationships are not high on the priority list—until she’s forced to admit that maybe friendship isn’t the only thing she wants from her bestie.

But hooking up with your ride-or-die is risky. Jucee isn’t just Cyn’s best friend—Jucee is her muse. When Cyn lays down her bars, it’s Jucee she imagines in the club throwing it back to every note. If they aren’t careful, this could crash and burn…but isn’t real love worth it?

A Little Kissing Between Friends

fat women with less desirable shapes— those of us with family- sized chicken dinner bodies full of thighs and breasts and wings and rolls—

You know when you go out drinking and you’re throwing ’em back all night without having to pee and shit is cool? You’re having a great time, laughing, twerking on your friends, and singing every song the DJ plays at the top of your lungs. Your bladder is being the MVP of the night, holding you down, allowing you to stay on the floor having a good- ass time, but then you have that one drink that puts you over the top and suddenly you have to pee so bad you might not make it to the bathroom in time. And once you pee, it feels glorious, like you’ve poked a hole in a water balloon and the swollen bubble is deflating at a rapid pace.

The problem is, once you pee that first time, you’re no longer able to hold it in for longer than fifteen minutes, and now you’re running back and forth to the bathroom all night. You broke the fucking seal.

I was pissed at myself for sounding so damn dramatic, but it’s exactly how I felt.

Daddy had always talked to us about our intentions not superseding their impact whenever we made missteps that hurt someone,
