I'll start this review by saying this, I am a very big fan of Eric Jerome Dickey.There's just something about his work that makes you not want to put the book down until the end.This is also the case with his latest book, Friends and Lovers. Although at first I was somewhat drawn to the story line, it wasn't until I had gotten through the first chapter that I had found myself hooked. The story line is this: The main character got dumped at the altar by Nicole. Nicole then moved away from their hometown to be with her loved Ayanna.The author comes to visit with leads Nicole to feeling torn between her old love and her new love.Also, Nicole then tries to merge her old life with her new life which leads to hurt feelings as well as new experiences with intimacy.Throughout the course of the novel, the reader is put on a kind of emotional roller coaster. While at times you feel sorry for the narrator, at times, you feel angry with him because he is not seeing things as they truly are. What I liked most about this novel was the way in which the characters interacted with each other.When I was reading this book, I felt as if these were people I actually knew and I was friends with them. In my opinion, it takes a special person to be able to communicate relationships like that to a reader. Overall, I enjoyed this book very much and I have already recommended it to someone.I feel that anyone who reads it will like it as much as I did if not more.

With each new novel, Eric Jerome Dickey has established himself as one of the freshest and most exciting writers on America's contemporary fiction scene. His latest book is no exception. Set in the San Francisco Bay area, Between Lovers brings together three irresistible characters. The novel's narrator a Los Angeles-based writer is still reeling from being dumped by Nicole after seven good years followed by an aborted trip to the altar. Nicole grew up during their time together, and changed--she became a successful career woman, moved north to Oakland, and fell in love with another woman. But she's still not satisfied. She likes what she has, but misses what she had, and wants to find out if she can have it all. She's playing with fire, not to mention the feelings of the two people who love her most in the world, but Nicole lures her former fiancé back into her new life, opening the floodgates of anger, passion, pain...and refreshing honesty. How these three fascinating people handle this unusual and complex love triangle makes for one of Dickey's most provocative and unforgettable novels. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
