Find out if the ultimate party girl might finally be ready to settle down in this final spinoff novel after 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN, the book that inspired the hit Netflix original series SEX/LIFE. “Since when are you into guys who wear ties?” It was true. By her mid-twenties, BB’s type had been well established–and good guys need not apply. Which is exactly why she had to friend-zone … apply.
Which is exactly why she had to friend-zone Ken Easton. The man was a former football star, smelled like fresh laundry instead of stale cigarettes, and had more ties in his closet than tattoos on his knuckles. BOR-ING.
But the more she got to know her gorgeous study buddy, the more she wondered: Why doesn’t he date? Why does he avoid human touch? Why does he hate all things fun and wonderful? The psychology-student side of her became obsessed with getting inside Ken’s head, while the romantic side of her became obsessed with getting inside his heart.
Soon BB discovers the one thing she loves more than bad boys is a good challenge.
“BB Easton has a talent like no other to hook the reader and she never lets you go with Suit. One I’m going recommend over and over again. Flawless!” –Brittainy C. Cherry, author of Eleanor & GreyR>

BB Easton is an amazing writer. Her stories are unique and unlike anything I’ve ever read before. I’ve been waiting for Ken’s story for what feels like forever!
BB Easton hooked me right from the very first chapter of 44 Chapters About 4 Men, a hilarious memoir telling of three past boyfriends and her husband. So of course I was fully invested in the other books of the series Skin, Speed, Star, and now Suit, as they broke down those three past boyfriends and her husband in their own books. I loved every book, but Suit was my absolute favorite! As per BB style, I laughed like a loon because she’s so relatable and quirky and zany! You can’t help but love her adorable antics! But what I didn’t expect was to cry. No, scratch that. I bawled like a baby through over half of Suit. She had me rooting so hard for her HEA…she had me cursing her husbot on one page and then had me hoping he would swoop in and save the day the next. Yet, because this is a memoir and not some romantic fairytale, this story was real. He didn’t swoop in and save the day like some hunky knight on a horse. No, he saved her one day at a time with actions, small expressions of love, and a tenacity to keep his little wild child tied to his heart, no matter the cost…even if it was his sanity. Ken and BB, two very real people with very real suitcases full of issues, were the HEA you not only rooted for but you demanded. Watching them fight for love, even though it was messy and complicated and confusing and frustrating, was beautiful and heart-wrenching. It made finally getting that HEA worth all the hard lessons throughout the series. This series, and especially this book, will stay with me for years to come. Don’t think about reading these books…just do it. Your heart will be full, your emotions will be whipped and beaten, your tears will flow, and the laughter will bleed from every page…even the heart-crushing ones. I’m not sure how BB managed to wrangle all the feels into one book, but she did. This book is hysterically relatable and a completely imperfect romance, which oddly enough, makes for the most wonderful love story I’ve had the pleasure of reading! I can’t recommend it enough!
5 Cranky Stars
Mothereffing Ken!! I feel like I’ve waited a very long time for this moment. I noticed so many similarities between my husband and Ken. It’s like looking into my life except I never went full punk or dated any one remotely close to Ronald McKnight but boy did I have some winners.
BB is still fresh off the breakup with Hans and just existing. Searching for the next step in her life something to fill the void because that’s who Brooke is. She doesn’t think her friendship with Ken will become anything more because let’s be honest he wears a tie to every event and doesn’t even drink meanwhile BB is all anarchy and booze. When the relationship progresses, she struggles with how to deal with someone like Ken when its nothing she’s every dealt with before. Ken lets her lead and he asks for her opinions on things makes her feel like she matters. Things weren’t all sunshine and roses for BB and Ken though she is still struggling to shake Knight and not jump at every motorcycle sound.
Kenneth Easton is a coupon clipping, budgeting, credit card with perfect interest, stock investing ninja. He might not express his emotions in the conventional way, but he shows in actions and to me that’s important.
I have been waiting for this moment since 44 Chapters. I noticed how much Ken and my version of Ken are a lot alike. We get to see a side of BB that we only knew the surface of and her story towards the end broke my heart. I was glad she figured herself out for the most part even though we are all continuous works in progress. BB and Ken are the classic case of opposites attract and it works for them. This book made me laugh out loud and then cry then laugh again. I adore BB Easton and her candid honesty even if so much of the book is made up its still real. I wish BB, Ken, Mini Ken and Baby BB all the happiness in the world. I wonder what will be next?
BeeeeBEEEEEEE….Girlllll you always suck me into your life with each and every book you have written. I get sooo consumed I do not want to put your books down!!! I even found myself waking up at 2 AM to read a few more pages cuz I fell asleep the night before staying up wayyy past my bedtime to finish reading. Gahhh I can not tell you how much I have loved all your books…your story, wait….your CRAZY ASS STORIES!!! I JUST LOVE IT and I LOVE YOU!!!
Suit is Ken’s book. Ohhh HELLL YESSS!!!
I have to make a confession.
I wasn’t sure what I thought about Ken in the beginning. When you read each of the 44 Chapters books, AND then you read their individual book, you, well I fell in love with them and their dirty ass bad boy ways. I freaking loved Knight although he was something else. OMG that boy scared the shit out of me…but I really did love him and his broken ass self!! I will just leave it at that, you need to read the books and you will see what I am talking about. ohhhh I also have to say that there is such buzz going on right now on social media about Suit being released soon and everybody is catching up on the series. I have been seeing lot’s of ladies loving Knight as well..haha and I just get sooo giddy inside. lol It really makes me want to do a re-read of all BB’s men..lol
But Y’all just wait for K.E.N. He is now my fav!!!
The more I read Suit, the more I fell in LOVE with “THAT MOTHERFUCKER KEN!!!” Goodness he really gave BB a run for her sanity. Of course if you have been following all her books, you know she is such a “badass punk rock princess” that she whips his ass right into her crazy ass world. OR does she?? Maybe Ken whips her ass into his crazy ass world?? You will have to decide..haha
Ummm, welll this is where you are going to have to pick up Suit on release day and find out if BB and Ken get their HEA!! I gave Suit 5 iScream “FAN-DAMN-TASTIC” Cones!!! Thank you for another glimpse into your life BB, I freaking loved Suit!!!!
PS: Here is my SHOUT OUT LADIES.. if you have never read BB’s books…I tell you, DO NOT LEAVE THEM ON YOUR TBR ANY LONGER!!! You will LAUGH your ASS off while reading her stories and You will be kicking yourself in the ass for not picking them up earlier and getting lost in BB’s world..lol
Nine little words that can change your life forever.
When I first learned about BB Easton, she was just this spunky girl with pink hair who made me laugh when I saw her on Facebook. I put off reading her books for far too long, but when I finally read them, I fell in love with each word and all of her characters as they came to life on the page in front of me.
44 Chapters and its spinoffs have put my emotions through the ringer. I fell in and out of love with a skinhead, laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes and an ache in my side, and cried for the pain that poor BB, with her great big heart, had to live through. More than anything, I wanted to know about BB’s happy ending.
And that’s exactly what Suit gave.
The journey BB went through as she fell in and out of love with Knight, Harley, and Hans was emotional. She gave her love to these men hoping to find love in return. But the real love came from Ken, the sarcastic, emotionless man who had me swooning so hard it’s going to be hard to recover. I spent the last quarter of this book wiping tears from my eyes and trying not to mess up my mascara (let’s face it, I’m just going to have to look like a racoon) as I whooped and hollered and laughed at the roller coaster ride that BB brought me on. I loved the look into the happily ever after that she afforded, and I feel the need to reread this again before I’ll ever be able to move on.
BB – I love you, and I’m so glad you found Ken <3
This was the perfect capstone to the 44 Chapters series. Ken. The HEA. Wrapped up and drug over to us with Ken’s red tie. I will start by saying that after reading 44 Chapters and laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes and my husband thought I was insane, I didn’t think the rest of this series would bring forth the range of emotions that it did. Throughout the whole series, I found myself empathizing with characters I never thought I would, relating in a way I would have never imagined. That is BBs gift, making us feel like we are with her and experiencing things and feelings the way she did. The growth we are able to witness in her character through each book is astounding to me. With each of the men she learns a little more about herself and what she deserves. With each realization, the reader is able to switch gears/opinions and experience the situation the way she did. This final book about Ken not only gave us a glimpse into the lives of BB and Ken and how they met and came to be the awesome couple they are, but it gave us background on Ken and why he is the husbot he is. So many times I was like.. please, feel something!!!! I want to shake you! Learning more about what BB went through to figure him out makes me love her all the more. Neither of them gave up on each other, even if BB got fed up with him, cause truthfully I would have given up so much sooner. These books make me take a look at my relationships and want to go beyond the surface. I’m sad this series is over but I’m elated this final installment had me smiling constantly and also had me crying tears of joy and love. All the feels. I would give it 10 stars if I was allowed. Am I?
I am so freaking sad this book is over! I couldn’t put it down! It was the most insanely, crazy, sweet, hilarious, honest, over the top but in the best way possible, magical messed up story! I have never laughed as hard reading a book as I do when B.B. Easton is the author! She can take the most mundane thing and bring it alive with such intense, hysterical feeling that you can’t help but laugh out loud and agree with her crazy little butt!! I absolutely loved the 44 chapters series and am really gunna miss it! It really is one of the most fantastic and fascinating sets of books I’ve ever read! B.B just has a way of storytelling that drags you in so deep could listen to her forever! Phenomenal book and as always I am 100% #TeamKen
LOVED it!!! I absolutely loved this.
What a wonderful story told in such an interesting way. This is a special kind of book.
The writing was fabulous and once I started I did not want to stop.
I’m happy I chose to read this
4.5 BRILLIANT STARS!!
The writing is absolutely flawless! I found myself deeply transported to the author’s world, and felt every single emotion she was reflecting on her beautiful writing.
At times, I found myself fiercely guarding my emotional reactions as her storytelling kept pulling me deeper and deeper into what I consider a great world built. No wonder they call it memoir.
This series has changed my opinion of the Biographical Genre, or at least this one is something UNIQUE, ORIGINAL & REFRESHING that’ll evoke every single emotion out of you, but will have you laughing out loud big deal!! Believe me, you don’t want to mis on this!!
I think that SUIT hit me harder (in the best way) than the other books in this series because Ken is not just end game, he’s REAL LIFE end game. I know that the series is only “psuedo” autobiographical, but still. “Ken” exists and he and BB are living their happily ever after somewhere in the state that I actually live and that just made the whole thing so fantastically surreal and wonderful – despite how boring she claims his story is. Because real life is not boring and getting the good guy that treats like a queen is better than getting the douchey guy that treats you like a queen any day. So clearly, this was my favorite book of the series. I just loved the banter between the two of them and the reappearance of some exes. I even liked the little bit about Georgia State University since my daughter is now a student there. I loved the real life realness and not knowing what parts were truth and what was fictionalized. I just loved it. 5 out of 5 wine glasses.
What a great last book! Still love the writing, storytelling and so much entertainment. The inner rambling of her mind kills me because you know 90% of us would be all over the place like that too. I seriously can’t wait to see what’s next!
4.5 pajama guy lovin’ stars
I can’t believe it’s over! BB finally got her happy ending with Ken. This is the perfect tale of how opposites attract. Not that this story is all roses because BB has to work for that ending and she does endure some tragic events along the way that definitely surprised me. Ken…you just have to love him. He’s the calm to her crazy 🙂 I’m not sure I’ve ever read a story like BB’s, 100% entertaining for sure.
“He made me laugh and he made me crazy and he made me a better version of myself. But, most of all, he made me want things that I wasn’t sure he could give me.”
*Sighs* I can’t believe this series is over. I fell in love with this whole concept of a series based on the Author’s real life the minute I dove into 44 Chapters About 4 Men all those many moons ago, and it has become one of my favorite series of all time. Completely original, brutally honest, and while you’ll never completely know what’s absolutely true and what’s been fictionalized by the Author, I fell in love all the same. The characters are completely genuine, fractured, riddled with flaws, funny as all get out, and the way this Author writes, it’s like you sat with a good friend reminiscing over a cup of coffee while she poured through the awkward teenage years from age 15 to adult. Book BB’s internal dialogue was one of my favorite things to read, hands down!!!
The wit, and biting sarcasm, and the Author’s keen sense of self (as only one can do once you’re grown and can look at your life with Adult eyes) really spoke to me in a way I won’t soon forget. I laughed out loud, felt the crushing pain, felt her losses as if they were my own, and swooned at the realness of when our shiny robot in sportswear armor did something adorable, because I’m #TeamKen all the way!! I thank the Author profusely for exposing herself to the public eye and pouring her heart into all these stories, as I felt it shining through the pages with every book I’ve had the honor of reviewing. I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next!!
“Because I wasn’t a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her anymore. I was a girl, lying under a MAN, who loved her more than she ever thought possible.”
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.”
And BB did show us in the first book, maybe only a glimpse but Ken was THE shining star of 44 chapters.
And marvel at the talent and diversity of her that this is the same BB who made me laugh so hard that I’d tears pouring down my eyes in 44 Chapters and now she’s made my heart tear up !!
And it’s the same Ken-doll! What a feat to completely peel back the layers of her own characters till the soft entrails are laid exposed. I knew it in 44 Chapters, that Ken was THE ONE , yet BB was chasing a false high and readers let her figure it out for herself.
“Falling Star” wasn’t some epic tale of fated destinies and true love, like I’d made it out to be in my mind. It was about a girl who was meant for bigger things than her lover. He’d tried to keep her small, but in the end, she exploded into a supernova, leaving him in the dust.
After blowing like an autumn leaf in the wind, BB finds her ground and returns to Ken. His character just blew me away!
He’s so vulnerable & adorable, stoic yet tender, a man who is supremely intelligent yet emotionally unavailable. He’s the softest, purest human being ever to grace the pages of a book. Hero with limited vocabulary is totally unheard of, but he’s real nevertheless. It’s as if his heart is full of sentiments but words are trapped in his mouth. But though subtle, the connection is static and electric, so there’s something real there, they aren’t imagining it.
It didn’t make any sense. He wasn’t my type. He’d never once come on to me. And he was about as emotionally available as a cucumber. But there was an intoxicating current of energy surrounding him that I couldn’t get enough of.
Looks like BB had an inside peek into MY LIFE when she created Ken. If….and it’s a big IF this ken is “REAL” then he’s a sweetheart and he deserves a medal !
BB is ray of sunshine, untrappable and uncontainable in anybody hands. A free spirit, she’s led by her heart and total opposite of head driven ken. Her doubts keep reading their ugly heads every now and then but her senses don’t lie to her.
Ken wasn’t my type, but perhaps my type was ready for an upgrade.
The book is seriously addictive, once I picked it up, I couldn’t keep it down. Cuteness factor of Ken will knock your socks off and endearing factor of BB would keep you besotted. I easily fell for this Yin-Yang couple who’ve occupied my thoughts, my heart, my soul and my brain completely.
“highly left-brained individual —a man of action and reason & right-brained partner to help balance him out. Like a poet or a painter or perhaps a psychology student with purple hair.”.
I’ve rarely come across a story written so well, with so much compassion and honesty. It’s like BB the author has laid her insides open on the pages to bleed and soak in the pages. Perfect story of a perfect couple in less than perfect setting, full of flaws and imperfections but their jagged hearts just were made for each other.
I’d thought I loved Ken before, but what I’d fallen in love with were mere glimmers of the qualities he truly possessed. Now, they were on full display in high-definition. His strength. His selflessness. His grace. His love. I’d kissed a prince, and somehow, he’d turned into an even better prince.
All the heart eyes and rainbows and glitter and awwwwws and sighs at this point can’t explain how much I fell in love with Ken!! (I’m secretly hoping it’s real Mr. Easton and it’s not at all embarrassing for him !!!)
I can’t even attempt to give it stars, it’s that good
infinite stars of wisdom
Husbot….Mother-effin Ken!!
I had been not so patiently waiting for this! And it was soooo worth the wait!
Suit, part of the expansion stories from 44 Chapters, is about the man who got the girl, the quirky, loveable B.B..
As with her other stories, B.B. takes a funny, light hearted approach to describing her story with Ken. However, when needed, she also shows her vulnerability, her stubbornness and her heartbreak.
I so love the fact that this story is semi-autobiographical. I loved reading this book and wondering…did that really happen?!? I would so love to be a fly on the wall of the Easton household on any given day just to see the interaction.
I really applaud the bravery that B.B. had in writing this story. The underlying issues within herself is shown throughout the story and really brings to light some serious disorders.
I also enjoy finding the little shout outs to other authors and their stories! It shows how, in a world where authors are shown to be cut-throat and competitive, B.B. and her crew rises above and are supportive, caring and just a badass back up for each other!
If I haven’t said it yet, get this book! Get all of her books and be prepared to laugh, to cry sometimes, and to feel ALL the feels! Suit is the cherry on top of the quirky, loveable, fabulous sundae that is B.B. Easton! (Did I throw enough adjectives? Because I have a shit-ton more when it comes to describing B.B.’s stories!!)
Omg!! Ohhh myyy gawwwddd!!! I didn’t think any of the books would top Skin but wow, Suit did that and more! I couldn’t put it down! I fell so in love with Ken. He is so complicated yet so easy to love. I had the biggest, stupidest grin on my face the entire book! I literally LOL’d, I cried, and I absolutely freaking LOVED everything about Suit! I wish I could go back and reread it for the first time again. It was that good. BB is an amazing author and she could write the dictionary and I would read every last word! Everyone should read this series. I’m telling you, you won’t be disappointed!!
BB Easton. Sculptor of words that will evoke feelings you never knew existed and ugh, make it extremely hard to even semi-adequately write down just how incredible her book is and why you need to read it. SUIT is the fourth and final spin-off of BB’s fictionalized memoir 44 CHAPTERS ABOUT 4 MEN. I don’t know how she does it, but she once again has written a book that demands to be re-read again and again. In the other books, we see and we feel BB’s heartache and struggle to fill this void of needing something…more. Though constant in her compassion and affection towards her friends and family and strong with her cheesy smile inducing quirks, BB’s ride has been a rollercoaster full of ups and downs and loops, both physically and mentally, and the ending she finds in SUIT is absolute perfection. She gets the happily ever after that she deserves and needs and I just want to stand up and slow clap while tears are running down my face. We finally, FINALLY, get to understand Ken a bit more and while there were plenty of times I just wanted to shake some emotion into him, I completely understood where he was coming from with my own left-brained leaning ways. BB is so astute and good that even though she is open and demanding in her own feelings, she still found a way to write Ken’s near opposite personality in an endearing way. His struggle to give BB what she needed and what he knew she deserved was pure and honest and yes, Ken made me cry. For real. This is the first time in my adult years that I can recall a book actually making me cry. That’s what BB Easton does. She puts her whole heart into her writing, and the end product is vulnerably real and sweet and funny and witty. It is sentimental to see this series end, but after everything, SUIT has left me with the best kind of happiness. It is an understatement to say that I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this author! Yes, SUIT can be read as a standalone but I think the others in this series call to be read too. 9 stars for SUIT, for the 9 words in the book that made me happy cry.
Just so you know, BB Easton… I love your “boring” hubs! Sooooooo amazing!!!
Great narrations by Ramona Master, it’s my first narrations by her and I really like her so much, she made me laugh a lot and I really like how she really brought each character to life making the story even more interesting and enjoyable.. great work
………………….
This was a great listen, I laugh and cry and sometimes I wanted to slap the heroine as she was very stubborn but I love how she made me cry and laugh with all the awesome situation of this wonderful story ..
Ken and BB story was great, Ken is not your typical hero, he is funny but in his own way, he has his own issues that BB is trying to figure but at the same time, Ken and BB are the most right relationship and partnership we’ve ever read. they’re great together fun, serious and some more.. I feel like BB is the right girl for Ken, not only she accepts him but also tries to understand why he is the way he is..
“He wasn’t even a man. He was a rare subspecies, commonly referred to as a gentleman, that I didn’t even know still existed”
The relationship between BB and Ken was awesome, at first, it was hard to imagine two people like them together especially because BB was such a wonderful rebel, and Ken was most of the time very well behaved and organized but together they make the right mess to be able to work..
“He made me laugh and he made me crazy and he made me a better version of myself. But, most of all, he made me want things that I wasn’t sure he could give me. Things he didn’t believe in.”
Ken didn’t imagine to be in a relationship, not even being with someone as beautiful and different as BB but life had other plans for them and different was made to be the new normal for them.. now it’s about time for them to accept this or walk away..
great book, very easy and funny, with great characters and narrators.

Suit
A 44 Chapters Novel, Book 4
By: BB Easton
Narrated by: Ramona Master
This story is such a delight! I am new to BB Easton and her work and this blew me away. I love her writing style and the way she creates and tells this story, her story fictionalized. What a great concept, it is original and so well done. The story is presented in a light hearted and humorous way but there are plenty of dramatic & heartfelt moments. The characters are well developed and relatable. This may have started out as Brooke’s story but I think Ken stole the show, he definitely stole her heart. They say everyone has a story but not everyone can present or write it like BB Easton. Thank you for your great story!!
I listened to the Audible edition, Ramona Master did a wonderful job narrating and telling the story. She performed the voices of all the characters, gave them heart and personality and brought them to life from the pages to your ears. Thank you for this great & entertaining listen.
Thank you AudiobookObsession
