DARE
"I've been a fan of Abiola's since her podcasting days. When I heard she had a novel out, I wasn't surprised - her creativity sprouts in so many directions! Just the cover alone is empowering! I bought the book, read it in one day, and loved it. The story has hip hop as a backdrop, and it was exciting to step into that world and see the rise of a superstar in the character of Maya. It makes me wonder how much of her experience really happens in true life with these young stars. My favorite aspect is that Abiola adds in affirmations throughout the book, as told by Maya. They are words to live by. I can hardly wait for a sequel to this story!" Lifetime TV's Crafty Chica, Kathy Cano Murillo "Abiola Abrams' debut is like a breath of fresh air for young fiction and
the depiction of women in hip hop. Finally, the world will see the conflicted struggles of ladies in the rap biz in a way
that women in hip hop have known and understood for years." -RAQIYAH MAYS, Writer/Radio
Personality on Hot 97 & 98.7 Kiss FM "ABIOLA ABRAMS puts it down in her new novel DARE. Full of
flavor, a fast-paced mix of wit, drama and scandal. You did your thing, lady." -TN BAKER, Essence Best Selling author of Sheisty and Dice "DARE is a good read all the way around from the title chapters that take you back to memorable female lyrics
to the fascinating plot. Different, adventurous, and just plain fun, this debut adds much needed spice to the literary arena."
--MIASHA, Essence Best Selling Author of Mommy's Angel, Sistah
for Sale and Never Enough: No Secret's Safe
"The event was a huge success. The
Barnes and Noble audience was amazed. Reading several chapters from her love story Dare,
Abiola Abrams captivated the audience with a lively expression filled performance. From the chapters read, it is simply
a must read." -The Amsterdam News
Official Black Expressions Selection for January 2008 "DARE takes chick lit to another level. Without a doubt, all the fun and fantasy is still there, but Abiola Abrams serves them up with a healthy serving of smarts and spirituality. Her debut novel, at once, gives us what we love about this genre, yet breaks new -- and deeper -- ground." - SOFIA QUINTERO AKA BLACK ARTEMIS, author of Divas Don't Yield and the Black Artemis hip-hop novels
"Abiola
Abrams is best known as the host of BET's The Best Shorts. Her first novel, Dare, is a Faustian tale set in
the world of hip hop. Abrams has a keen ear for dialog, and though almost outrageous at times, her characters are believable
and often fascinating. Dare may end up in several nooks of your bookstore, filed under "chick lit," "African
American literature," or even in the burgeoning "street lit" genre. Don't be fooled by the labels, this
is a promising and enjoyable debut." - DAVID GUTOWSKI
