About the Book
DARE is the crazy, sexy, smart debut novel by BET J host Abiola Abrams of indie film show The Best Shorts. about two women who dare to step outside themselves to get a life.
DARE is the sizzling story of a sociologist who goes undercover as a racy rapper and winds up in too deep, searching for love in the glam world of entertainment, a searing tale of love, music and temptation.
Meet Maya Hope. Double-dipped in cocoa with brick-house curves, she's a lover of jazz, a political poet, and a sociologist. Her best friend and roommate, Athena Jackson, is her opposite in every way- a petite ex-cheerleader who's always blaring rap, grinding out rhymes, and ready to take the next man home. When Maya is forced to pinch-hit in an audition and bust Athena's rhymes, she finds herself on an undercover escapade in the wild world of hip-hop as the raw, sexy, roughneck Jezebel.
After striking a deal with her own personal devil, Maya sets off on the tempting roller-coaster ride of a lifetime -- finding music, more fun than she's ever had, and even a man or two...but not without consequences. An off the hook cast of colorful characters includes Lucy, the diva deluxe brand-addicted publicist from hell; Shell the Boy Wonder, entrepreneurial label mogul party boy and Thug, the gritty handsome hardcore rapper with something to prove.
Abiola Abrams built an interactive site with affirmations, video and contests to accompany the book.
