Heartbreak U: Summer Vacation

After barely surviving their freshman year at NC A&T, the girls have to make it through the summer.

Just before spring break, Hope learns that she’s pregnant, but now she’s unsure of exactly what to do. On the one hand, she doesn’t want to disappoint her father because he only knows the meek and sheltered child he raised. He has yet to face the young, fleshly woman she’s now become—the one that has fallen weak for a man. But on the other, the father of her unborn child is not who she once thought he was.

Despite making the conscious decision to separate herself from the married Malachi Montgomery, the pain of losing him causes a natural tug of war inside Paris’s heart.

Franki’s heart continues to open up to church boy Josh, but she’s unsure of just how long their relationship will last without sex. Every day, she struggles with her past, and when things back home take a turn for the worse, the lines between intimacy, sex, and religion are blurred.

Finally, Asha hits rock bottom—so low that she attempts to mend relationships that were once thought to be broken beyond repair. She even makes notable strides in putting the puzzle pieces of her life back together, but will it all be too late? Will it even be enough to change her selfish, gold-digging ways? Find out in the finale of Heartbreak U.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, where she grew up on the outskirts of the city, Johnni Sherri has always been a true lover of the arts. As a natural-born introvert, reading, writing, and drawing quickly became her favorite pastimes. After graduating from East Carolina University with her bachelor’s degree, she remained in North Carolina, where she currently resides with her husband and three beautiful children. Although today she works in corporate America, she still continues to make time for one of her greatest passions: writing.

After secretly writing many short stories over the years, in 2016, Johnni Sherri began penning her first novel just for amusement. On a whim, she entered a short story contest in 2017 and won her first publishing contract. With this opportunity, she was able to release her very first five-star series, Protect My Sister’s Heart. With her writing, she strives to detail the complex realities of young urban love in a way her readers can relate to. Her goal is always to paint a picture with every page, leaving book lovers yearning for more. She feels that if she can touch just one heart or mind with her work, the late-night typing is well worth it.
