Review: Very Unexpected
Rating: 4 out of 5

This story from begining to end never does the expected.  At the start I was getting a very YA vibe which almost caused me to stop reading.  Then Danielle Rouge, this seemingly very self aware African American girl is turned into a ball busting, husband nagging, oreo (black on the outside white inside) as an adult.  Malcom is the rich white high school jock who gets her as an alienated teen and stays in contact with the woman, he calls her Red.  Just when I am thoroughly turned off about the way Danny has treated her husband Jon, we are treated to Jon's POV the brother has some issues but Danielle is honest about hers, Jon calls her Danny.This only the begining of the twists and turns.  We meet Malcolm's associates and the real confusion starts.  This is like the bumper car ride at an amusement park, never knowing from where the next hits are coming but knowing it will all be fun.  Alright, the ending makes absolutely no sense other than as a ploy for the sequel.  Not good enough.  That is why four stars instead of five also why I may not purchase next book.  Still a good read.
