Young, beautiful, and raised from an affluent family, Gianna Edwards had it all. She had parents that adore her. A boyfriend that worshipped the ground she walked on. And lastly a best friend, whom she considers a sister in McKenzie Perry. She had it all and every reason to be happy and in love. But behind Gia’s eyes, lies a broken girl who is lost, unhappy and just living to exist and go through the motions. A girl who is living a life built on lies and pleasing her family and friends. Simply, Gianna Edwards is trapped in her good girl image.
It is so true when they say you can lie to everyone else, but you can never really lie to yourself. And for Gianna, this is the truth. Well the truth of the matter, Gia was looking for a way to separate herself from McKenzie and find her true identity. For so long, it was always Gia and Mack. It was like they were a packaged deal and the limelight was focused on her best friend, Mack. Being in the shadows of Mack, Gia wanted to break free. Free where she didn’t have to lie and just be G.
For the first time in a long time, Gianna Edwards finally felt free when she meets Mr. James Nichols, her high school English teacher. With sexual tension and chemistry brewing between the two, lines are crossed and lives are forever changed. The walls and facade that Gia thought she had perfectly manicured and perfected comes crumbling down, when Mr. Nichols can see the real Gianna Edwards. He doesn’t believes the lies she tells people. He sees G. They say you can’t help who you fall in love with, and in this case Mr. Nichols and Gia embark on one hell of a forbidden romance.
As Gia and James embark on their secret love affair, lives are forever changed. The love Gia has for James is forever imprinted in her heart and soul. The moment James entered her life there was no turning back. She belonged to him. And she was his. It was the kind of love that transcends all the odds and obstacles stacked against them. A romance filled with passion and love. A love so fierce that they are willing to cross a line knowing that there is no turning back. So what happens when lies and betrayals comes shattering down? A love gone horribly wrong? A mistake that can’t be taken back? And 18 years of friendship are gone in an instant?
One night, one mistake, and one lie ruined the lives of not just one person but so many others. And so in Shhh..Gianna’s Side, M. Robinson will take her readers on a journey of Gia on how that one fatal night forever changed her life. M.Robinson goes in depth of the struggles and inner turmoils of Gianna Edwards. There is nothing pretty or sugarcoating about it, Gia’s lies finally caught up to her. This is not a lighthearted story but a beautiful tale of raw emotions. Gianna Edwards is a woman exposed. Her sadness and heartbreak is written all over her face. Emptiness and void is filled with the abuse of alcohol and random sex. Her hatred for herself is on her skin. Her regrets and burdens lies deep within her. Her vulnerability is out there and apparent.

What I love about Shhh… is that its not your ordinary love story. It is fucked up, raw, honest and real. The raw vulnerability and sadness is what made me love Shhh...Gianna’s Side. Life is not perfect. The truth hurts. And behind Gianna eyes, lies a woman wanting to shed all the lies, mistakes, and regrets. And so begins the tale of Gianna as she takes us on her version of the truth. I think this quote from Marilyn Monroe sums it best to describe Ms. Gianna Edwards:
"I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But, if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best."~Marilyn Monroe

And at the end of the book, you will be left saying WTF that was a brilliant ending. Expect the unexpected and hold on to the edge of your seats because M. Robinson will having you begging for more Gianna and Mr. Nichols. Oh and as for HEA ending, I guess you have to go and read Shhh...Gianna Side.. let me just tell you the pure brilliance of M.
