\\\This is a spin-off from She Used to be the Sweetest Girl. You MUST read that first, in order to enjoy this novel\\\ SYNOPSIS ​ The saying is that time heals all wounds, but for the pair you were first introduced to in “She Used to be the Sweetest Girl,” that saying couldn’t be further from the truth. Pierre, known bachelor of St. Louis and heavy in the streets, is trying to find his way in the love game. His player ways are taking a toll on him and the thought of settling down sounds appealing. But he can’t seem to choose with whom he wants to share his time and bed with. About her business and in a happy relationship, Carissa is enjoying her life without Pierre. Their year apart has given her time to evaluate what she really wants in a relationship. Though she was somewhat content, the little voice in her head is telling her that she is settling. Deep down, her heart belongs to Pierre, even though she didn’t want it to. She is about to find out that maybe giving her heart over to someone new was the wrong move. As these two struggle to grasp the realization that they are not meant to be, you will also be introduced to a couple dealing with issues of their own: that young love, where it’s fresh and fun, but could be toxic if you let it. Cameo’s from Shemel and Brix will be filled throughout the pages and you, the reader, will get to see where his rap career has led their relationship as well. ​ Some of the hardest decisions to make in life come from being indecisive and not knowing what is best for us. For the couples in this book, one bad decision can make their world change… forever. “He Want That Old Thang Back” is not only a story of love, but one of growth and life lessons. Hopefully, the lessons meant to be learned aren’t taught too late.

Seemingly stuck in his ways, Pierre struggles to come to terms with the fact that he has a girlfriend whose name isn’t Carissa. Though his feelings for Nyoka have grown over the months, he can’t find it within himself to let the past go. He is willing to do whatever he can to win her heart again, even if that means unintentionally hurting the person who knows him best, in the process. The revelation of being cheated on, hits Carissa where she least expects it to hurt the most… her mind. After several attempts of trying to grasp why her boyfriend of over a year’s time would deceive her in such a way, life continues to beat down upon her. Pierre being indecisive of the woman he wants to claim, doesn’t make her situation any better. Still not sure if this relationship thing is for her, Carissa shuts the world out, and hides a secret from the closest people to her while doing so. Crazy is, as crazy does. That is the only phrase to describe the turmoil Tiffany has abruptly caused in Shemel and Brix’s life. Not for the games she is trying to play, Shemel puts her in her place, or so he thinks. His rap career and relationship is on the line, and may soon all come to an end if he can’t get control of the situation. Sierra, Marvell, Ricky and Tasia are back as well and their story picks up where it left off… messy as ever, but blossoms into something beautiful. Life has a way of teaching you lessons when you least expect it, but when it does… you either learn and grow from it or let it destroy you. In the final installment of “He Want That Old Thang Back”, readers are taken on a journey of unexpected beginnings and endings with some of their favorite characters. Even when these characters think they know it all about the people they love, they are left questioning was it love to begin with.
