Venus Johnston has a great job and a long-term, live-in boyfriend who happens to be a drop-dead gorgeous doctor. She also has a weekly beauty-parlor date to keep her long, nappy hair slick and straight. But the tedious hours and harsh chemicals in the salon have long grated on Venus. One frustrating day, she trades in the long hair for a dramatically short, natural cut and sends her commitment-balking boyfriend packing. It's a bold declaration of independence and one that has effects she never could have imagined.

The relation to my current circumstances
It started kind of slow I actually fell asleep this first time I started listening (I was really tired through) when I started listening again it was at chapter three. I listened nonstop from there. Good read. I would read/listen again.

Great Book!
Would you consider the audio edition of Up at the College to be better than the print version?
I really enjoyed the print and the audio edition. Audio editions are great during long commutes or waiting for my daughter in my car.
If you could take any character from Up at the College out to dinner, who would it be and why?
I would love to take Yvonne Fountain out to dinner. I admire her faith in God and ability to forgive her ex-hubbie. Forgivenessis always followed by a blessing.
