Hitting all the hot topics of today but have been going on for centuries in women’s lives, it’s an incredible look into the personal experience the author has with men. Any woman can pick up this book and see potential parallels in their own life. In the age of “Me Too,” women are taking a look at their lives and adjusting the narrative. Me, Myself, & Men is proof that St. John and others have gone through a lot at the hands of men — what she goes through to get a man and keep a man as defining her self-worth.

Her parting chapter sums up the lessons a woman can learn from this book: “Once you have love of self, you won’t accept a lesser love than what you give yourself.” Though single now, St. John is at peace with herself and happy with the life she is living. The writing in Me, Myself & Men is picturesque, the details of her childhood and teenage years are still so vivid, you’d think they happened yesterday.

Me, Myself and Men” is a journey through the life of a younger Sharon St. John as she undergoes a relatable transformation from a naïve black girl to a confident black woman. This novel is the real exposé – everything she went through was documented, including modern-day controversial topics that we generally shy away from.

I especially loved how well-written the story was, her emotions and dialogue were sincere, the thought flow process was aligned to the purpose and kept the story going without a chapter that you would be too quick to flip over. The characters were complete with their distinct personalities, vices and strengths. The plot twists were believable and are guaranteed to keep you engaged till the end. The story progressed organically at a consistent pace and was free from excessive backstory.

Me, Myself and Men” felt like a probe into the brain of the main character, understanding her mindset at different life stages, feeling what she felt and acting out how she did – albeit stupid at times.

One thing is for certain, you would feel numerous emotions going through this book and there will be a lot of eye-rolling, mouth agape moments. You will also catch the author’s subtle humor throughout the story.

And one more thing – it doesn’t end as expected. That, for me, was my favorite bit not because I was unsympathetic to the character’s plight but because life is not a fairytale and healing takes a while.”

This book is a true medicine for the heart, the medicine that is bitter in taste but heals you from within. It is a true story, that breaks your heart and teaches you, not to be silly enough to break it yourself. It actually highlights very well, what men don’t want, what they think they want and what they really want. As we read ahead, a belief gets stronger that the color, race, religion, country, and states might be different around the world, but the men, women, friends, relatives, the pedophile uncles, the sexually frustrated aunt, the schoolboys, the crazy lover, and all the people around us, they are all the same from inside.

Needless to say, I loved this book. Anyone with a heart is going to love this book, because where there is a heart there must have been a heartbreaking story and this relates to each one of them. This story could teach you all of the life lessons, that you need to learn to get over from a toxic relationship or to form a new one. It will prepare you to be a better man to your woman. In the end, I would give the author a big applause to finish this story that is full of scars, deep wounds and mental torture, by saying “I forgive myself and all these men”.
