I loved this book so much, I've read it twice. Anyone who has been in an interracial relationship can understand the issues this couple has to deal with. I really appreciate how Kimberly comes off as being a strong women. Not weak like most white women are portrayed to be in most interracial love stories. My only problem with Jordan is, he is too worried about what everyone else thinks of his realitionship with Kimberly. I say, f--k'em. If they have a problem with it, you don't need them. In the end, it's always hard to find out that you really don't have friends in this world, only associates. I'm glad there was a happy ending to the story.

This book was full of surprises! Very interesting reading. I am really impressed with the way Mr. Dickey explored the feminine point of view and for the most part was dead on key. The characters were easy to relate to. The story line was very interesting. No matter what side of the interracial issue you stand on you could understand and appreciate the characters' point of view. Overall, it was a very GOOD read, leaving me wanting to read the next novel by Dickey.

Eric Jerome Dick has taken the very sensitive subject of interracial dating and handled it with tenderness, brutal honesty and a great deal of humor. The two main characters, Jordan Greene and Kimberly Chavers share with us, their feelings on race and relationships, family secrets and all of the drama that goes with it. The story that unfolds is heartwarming and hilarious and so very sweet. I found myself laughing like a crazy person one moment, and in the next moment, asking myself some serious soul-searching questions. This is definitely one of those books that makes you believe in true love. Forget about the societal hangups which attempt to dictate who you should love...love with all of your heart...whomever that person may be. Oh yeah...READ THE BOOK!!!!

This is a Fantastic book I've never read any of E.J. Dickey's books before, but I will continue to do so from now on. I could not put the book down. It is very well written and I would recommed it to all my friends...Keep up the good work.

What brilliant writting. Dickey took his time to allow the reader to develope a relationship with Jordon first, then later Kimberly and all the other people in their lives. He managed to do that without letting his writing become overcrowded! :)I particularly liked that fact that it wasn't a 'they fell in love, and more love and more love'. Each character had a LIFE, and other relationships that helped us to identify with the character, and understand the other. As the pages ran out, I was dreading a typical 'wrapped up in each others arms' ending, instead the reader was left to think that this was a REAL relationship that required real effort!Bravo Bravo Bravo

I bought this book one night and finished it in a few hours. The last 40 pages or so had me in tears and afterward I had to call up my boyfriend just to hear his voice on his machine, since he's in Memphis visiting family. Jordan reminded me of him so much that I couldn't stop thinking about him for the next several hours. I understand exactly how Kimberly felt, being a white woman dating a black man. And the book also offered me an idea of how my boyfriend might feel while we're out together. I loved it!! A definite must read for anyone and everyone.
