I waited on pins and needles for this book.  I wasn't sure how was going to handle hearing Chris' story.  I had my preconceived notions about him in Commitment and the subsequent books but hey after reading Afterwards, I was blown away.  Ms. Forrester was able to capture such an enigmatic man and give us this 3-dimensional view that really humanized him.  I am not sure how I felt about Robyn...  At first, I was hesitant to connect with her because of her decisions but through the magic that is Nia Forrester, I totally understand why she handled things they way she did.  Chris needed someone like her. All of the characters were so well written.  The dialogue was terrific.  I cried when the book ended, it was that good.  Now I have to wait for another of Nia Forrester's books.  They are like a drug.  You crave them, stalk her web site constantly, and once you get one to read, you drop absolutely everything in your life to dive into the world she creates for her characters.  I keep searching for writers half as good just to fill the time until she publishes another and haven't found one yet. Just keep writing please Nia!!  Intelligent, humorous, classy novels about people of color.  Absolutely wonderful.
