Sometimes, the ending of a relationship is telling. It reveals truths about the woman you were in love with, things that make you wonder if you really knew her.<\/p>\n

And a breakup pushes you to reevaluate your life and purpose, much like main character Kori Maitland, the heroine of 30 DAY NOTICE <\/em><\/strong>by author Kai Mann.<\/p>\n

When her relationship of five years disintegrates, it leaves Kori broken. Though she\u2019s given a 30 day notice from her love, Kori never thought Layla would end it, despite the hurdles and dysfunction that occurred during. Layla did what she had to do for herself, but Kori can\u2019t seem to muster the same self-worth to pull herself out of the heartbreak.<\/p>\n

It paralyzes her. During the 30 days, Kori begins to examine her entire life to figure out what got her to this downward path. At the same time, she moves back to Detroit, her old stomping grounds where she runs into people from her past \u2013 some who uplift her, others who take advantage of her spirit.<\/p>\n

In truth, her life has been no crystal stair. In her current situation, disturbances once dead resurface. The ghosts of leaving her marriage and children behind to be her authentic self haunt her.<\/p>\n

Every setback \u2013 and there are several \u2013 devastates her core. Being used, being discarded, being alone. It\u2019s all there.<\/p>\n

Yet Kori is a fighter. And she knows God has a plan for her.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the crux of 30 Day Notice<\/em>. Although the writing could use more showing than telling, the novel is direct and honest, as you sympathize with Kori; we\u2019ve all been there in some form or fashion. This is a great story for lesbians dealing with separation from their families or finding themselves at a crossroads in life.<\/p>\n
