Twenty years ago, Urban Books began publishing the works of new Black authors, and La Jill Hunt made a splash with her debut novel, Drama Queen. The tale of a woman who just can’t seem to stay away from drama, it landed La Jill on the Essence bestsellers list. She has entertained her loyal fan base with multiple novels since then, always bringing her trademark flair to the characters she creates. Revisit this classic and see where it all began. 

Kayla Hopkins is young, beautiful, and can't win for losing. That's why everyone calls her the Drama Queen. She doesn't go looking for drama; it just happens to find her. Take, for instance, her love life. Kayla's not satisfied with just one man. She has two—one she's in love with and another she's pregnant by. It's a ready-made formula for disaster, but will Kayla see it before everything blows up in her face? Her track record says no, but her friends and family can only hope. 

Drama Queen is a hilariously funny, fast-paced novel that will drag you away from your own problems and bring you into someone else's.
