As the title of this review states, I thoroughly enjoyed this followup to the author's last book " A Love Like This". The story was engaging, funny, and sometimes sad, evoking a range of emotions from this reader. Despite the fact that all of the characters weren't perfect, and didn't act the way I would have wanted them to all the time(I'm looking at you Nickie and Keisha), they were realistic portrayals of different lives. I like that. Sometimes we read to escape the ugly realities of life, unexpected pregnancies, dead relatives, and infidelity. But in my opinion the author presented these elements and wrangled with them in a way that I didn't feel depressed or bombarded by them. She wasn't heavy handed or preachy, and for that I say thank you. She was honest in showing the emotions and motivations behind these characters, often injecting a comedic twist to lighten the mood. That along with good, well thought out writing, is what really made this an enjoyable read for me...well done!
