Synopsis
Sebrina Cooper has made a life and career out of doing the right thing. But on the eve of her 30th birthday, unfulfilled and painfully single, she jumps at her "last chance" at love via a one-night-stand-turned-affair with a soon-to-be married ex-boyfriend, Curtis. When Sebrina accidentally meets Curtis' wife and forms an unexpected friendship, managing the expectations of life on the other side of thirty suddenly gets more complex. But Sebrina still wants Curtis.

From the Author
Although this book started as a writing experiment over 10 years ago, and was originally targeted to a specific audience, it developed into a work that I hope will be entertaining and thought-provoking to all readers. The story attempts to sway readers from swift thoughts of judgment by using characters with whom they can personally relate. The target audience for The Other Side of 30 is 20-something, 30-something, and even 40+ something single women, particularly those who have prioritized their careers ahead of their personal lives, only to look back and wonder where the hell the time went and what might have been. Additionally, the story considers the plight of the other woman, telling "the other side" of the story, not just that of the wronged good wife. It offers a perspective inside the head and heart of a woman with conflicted emotions behind her motives and subsequent actions, and is a departure from the usually one-dimensional depiction of the villain who is the other woman. The Other Side of 30 is for any reader who knows or wants to know what it feels like to be on the other side of right, when doing the right thing is no longer an option, and where other options could lead. It can be said that those who are quick to form the thought and utter the words, "just let it go" assume much, and have much to consider about life, loss, and the glass houses we condemn.Thank you all for reading.
From the Back Cover
As much as I wanted to, I couldn't stop the way I felt when I thought about Curtis, about being with him, about us. I can think of a good three, four, ten reasons why this is a bad idea, but it's funny how commitment and temptation work on you. He's committed to someone else, and I keep yielding to temptation. I wish I had a good reason for not being stronger. I abhor the thought of being involved with a married man. A married military man, at that. That was supposed to be my never-never land. And both of us being military makes this thing a particularly bad thing, a court martial offense. But he was mine, first.
