Easily in the same class and caliber as E. Lynn Harris' novels or the novels by Connie Briscoe, BeBe Moore Campbell, and dare I say McMillan. Well, I dare say it. Yell it from a rooftop or two. Rawles narrates the novel in a funny, loving and realistic manner. She guides you through Grace's present and the past effortlessly.
Grace is opened like a rose.
The love and the aggravation of her family, her lover, Elena is revealed beautifully. A winning novel that is engrossing and highly entertaining. Looking forward to Rawles next novel.
