This book was interesting in that when I sit and try to think what I liked about the book nothing truly stands out. It wasn't earth shattering, nothing new was put out there but nevertheless, I still really liked the book. That just goes to show good character development because if I didn't like the characters so much this book would have been blah. I've read books that have a lot of stuff going on and was bored to tears. And I sit there wondering how can all this be going on and I'm bored. This one was reverse, you pretty much know what to expect but I still read it like it was a new storyline.Tess is friends with Chris and she wants to keep it that way. The story is told from only Tess's POV but she did a good job of making us love the friends she loved and dislike the ones she did not like. I found that even though we didn't get Chris's view, Tess make the reader love him and you can help but find his charm, intelligence and ah other features sexy.It's not a very long read and there are a couple of steamy scenes but I think the author is did a good job of mapping out a story of true love and friendship.Group discussion- African American Fiction Book Club.
