Publisher Description
Daryl Graham has just moved into a Jamaica, Queens, apartment building and his neighbors, both male and female alike, can't stop talking about him. From his extreme attractiveness to his undeniable swag, Daryl is the man every woman wants and every man wants to be.
Connie, an unhappy wife, turns to Daryl for help losing weight, hoping to fix her marriage. But when Daryl starts making Connie feel beautiful again, she questions whether her marriage is worth saving. Benny, a spoiled teenager raised by a single father, looks up to Daryl. When an unexpected event occurs, Benny is left questioning everything he's ever known to be true. Krystal, Daryl's first love, wants to make things work with her current boyfriend. Yet having Daryl back in her life sends her happy home spiraling out of control.And Avery, Connie's husband, doesn't care about anything or anyone when a financial opportunity comes his way-that is, until he notices how much time his wife is spending with their new neighbor.
Everything seems to be going well, until someone is murdered, and everyone becomes a prime suspect.

"Carl Weber does not let his fans down with this one. Darryl Graham, the man in 3B, is lusted after by all the women and respected by all the men, and one day he turns up dead in his apartment. This was an intriguing, page-turning, "who dunnit" novel. Everyone's a suspect. Just when I thought I knew what was going on, Weber throws a curve which sends the novel in another direction. The novel is told from everyone's persepctive, but Darryl's. I think it was well-done! I can't wait for Weber's next novel."

Quotes
-
“A delicious gift of drama, suspense, and romance...Weber entices with wonderfully crafted ‘ordinary’ people, making you care, making you get indignant (on their behalf), making you forgive, and making you hope and trust in love.”
— USA Today -
“A juicy tale.”
— Library Journal -
Major revelations and an eye-raising twist will make even seen-it-all fans gasp. And the drama doesn't end but plants the seeds for Weber's next, The First Lady.
— Publishers Weekly on SO YOU CALL YOURSELF A MAN -
Weber keeps the pacing brisk and loads the narrative with enough surprise turns to keep readers guessing to the end.
— Publishers Weekly on THE FIRST LADY -
As James, Darnel and Jamie switch narrative duties, betrayals and odd plot twists become the norm with at times shocking results...this trashy page-turner should give fans what they want.
— Publishers Weekly on UP TO NO GOOD -
Popular author Weber (The Preacher's Son, 2005; Up to No Good, 2009) fills his books with lifelike characters-flawed, confused, frustrated, and sometimes plus-sized. His latest is perfect for readers looking for an emotion-filled human drama, and Big Girls Do Cry will be a welcome addition to any library's African American fiction collection.
— Booklist on BIG GIRLS DO CRY -
Weber's in top form with this fast-paced and oh-so-zany soap opera.
— Publishers Weekly on BIG GIRLS DO CRY -
After a church member commits suicide, secrets are exposed that could destroy the church and various relationships as Weber (Up to No Good) successfully explores the multiple megaproblems challenging this church family and scores again with a lively mix of church politics and bedroom follies.

" Carl Weber has done it again.This book had so much drama from the beginning to the end,and in true Carl Weber fashion a great twist at the end.It's a must read.When you think you know where this story is going,it completely goes in another direction.The Man in 3B contained some interesting characters who all had a story,but Daryl the man that lived in 3B by far had the most interesting story line.I would definitely recommend this book.

" I'm really starting to like Weber's books. He has you going in one direction, already to conclude the direction he's going. Then in a moment notice- BAM! The story lines takes a complete opposite direction. This book kept me wanting to read more an more. It's a good page turner. I forsee a sequel. "
