Drama Queen

LaJill Hunt's wildly successful first novel entertains readers with the tale of a woman who just can't seem to stay away from the drama. Kayla Hopkins is young, beautiful, and can't win for losing. That's why everyone calls her the Drama Queen. She doesn't go looking for drama; it just happens to find her. Take, for instance, her love life. Kayla's not satisfied with just one man. She has two--one she's in love with and another she's pregnant by. It's a ready-made formula for disaster, but will Kayla see it before everything blows up in her face? Her track record says no, but her friends and family can only hope. Drama Queen is a hilariously funny, fast-paced novel that will drag you away from your own problems and bring you into someone else's.
