Monica, a determined social climber, wants all the finer things in life, and she will stop at nothing to have it. Problem is she doesn't care about the people she has to step on to get there, including her boyfriend, Kendall. After graduating from high school, Tamara follows her boyfriend to live in a new city with the hopes he will soon propose marriage. Within a matter of months, Tamara learns she is pregnant and her boyfriend has secretly been involved with another woman. When he moves out, Tamara feels betrayed and desperate enough to seek revenge. Barron feels trapped in a marriage of convenience. His controlling and manipulative wife makes more money than he does; therefore, she rules the nest. Dissatisfied with his life, Barron sets out to establish a relationship with the son he abandoned, against his wife's wishes. Missed Opportunities illustrates how these true-to-life characters must face the consequences of their poor choices. Was each decision worth the cost? LaTonya Y. Williams delivers yet another account of love, lies, and deceit all wrapped up into one powerful novel.
MISSED OPPORTUNITIES is the story of four strangers connected by their bad choices. Social climber Monica wants the finer things in life and she doesn't care who she steps on to get it, including her boyfriend. Tamara leaves her hometown with her long-time boyfriend with hopes of a proposal. However, Tamara finds herself pregnant and her man staying out all night. Tamara plots to keep her man and if all else fails, revenge will suffice. Darla, a 300 pound beauty has it all: a charming, handsome husband who adores her and a successful career. Although her two friends envy her happiness, Darla's marriage isn't as happy or committed as it seems. Struggling single mom Brandy is always there for friends and family. But, a one-night stand with an ex-boyfriend leads Brandy down an uncontrollable, downward spiral. Are these women strong enough to get out of their individual ruts? MISSED OPPORTUNITIES is an awesome, page-turner. You will share the feelings of these women as they go through one crazy situation after another. They will remind you of your sister, cousin, best friend and even your co-worker. LaTonya Williams has penned a phenomenal novel about the strength and perseverance of women. MISSED OPPORTUNITIES is the perfect novel for a weekend of reading and I cannot wait for Williams's next work of literary art. Reviewed by Katrina of The RAWSISTAZ Reviewers
Hello Sequel!!!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is my first book by this author, and I must say that I really enjoyed this book. I finished it in a weekend, and now I find myself on the internet seeing if the next book is out yet. I have to check out her other books. I must say that the Brandy storyline at the end kind of threw me, but that was before I smelled a sequel in the works. I'll be waiting to see what happens.
Excellent Read

I finished Missed Opportunities in one setting. It was a page-turner. I enjoyed the characters, Monica, Tamara, Darla and Brandy. Monica was the best character for me. I had a lot in common with her, of course. The book was real and based on reality about the way men dog you, and the women who let them dog you. It was also a friendship book, and we don't find too many friends in this modern world today. Each character contributed their joys and pains, and I was rooting for a happily ever after ending. I was thrilled that Ms. Williams portrayed overweight women with confidence. This was the perfect book for me and I can't wait to read more from this very talented, and for real author. She is the best in my book. I am checking out her other books.
Awesome Book
