Carey Anderson was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area in California. At a very young age she learned that she had a natural gift for storytelling. Carey would entertain her family and friends with stories about anything going on in her life or theirs.  One classroom assignment forever changed her life opening an unmarked door. Her teacher, who brought out all things creative within her, read her story aloud to the class.  Carey started writing stories as an outlet for the things going on in her life. Once she was in high school she began receiving extra credit from her English teacher for writing stories during her free time after school and on the weekends. Her English teacher suggested that she look into writing children's books, which she still, may do one day.  During a really turbulent time in Carey's life she began writing what is now known as Tracy's Complications, on her iPhone just as a little doodle.  Quickly after finishing Tracy's Complications, Carey began Sometimes Love Is

Dubbed the ‘new face’ of urban literature, her journey began in New York City’s infamous Queensbridge Houses.   Despite witnessing the consequences of a life on the streets, this selfproclaimed hood nerd still found every opportunity to place herself in the heart of them. Although she skated through New York’s magnet school programs for talented and gifted students, the hustle of the streets was what appealed to her the most. By the age of 17, she was a high-school dropout and just another product of her environment.   In 2013, Chaka decided to finally tell her story not only for her but for the younger girls who followed behind. Her debut novel, a fictionalautobiography she now calls, A View of The Bridge caught the literary world by surprise and quickly became a Best Seller. With the release of its follow-up, A View of The Bottom, Chaka is well on

Ms. Betty's book, "Ain't That 'Bout'a B*tch" is entertaining and genuine. It is a great reminder how much fun relationships can be, albeit sometimes at our own expense. Betty's own zany behavior, in the midst of train-wreck relationships, contributes to the chaos as she tries to find success in her love life. Each episode she endures is a real-life reminder to readers that our failed relationships are merely practice until we truly understand love and life. Her descriptive, candid and raw style is a great element in the storytelling. It enables her to present the material such that the reader can visualize and share her experiences. And the individuals alongside Ms. Betty throughout the book are truly characters in their own right. If you enjoy down-to-earth humor, you will appreciate the vivid re-telling of life experiences designed to help others laugh and learn. Or if you can identify with the dating and love life struggles that simply make one shake their head and exclaim, "Ain't That 'Bout'a B*tch" then
