"This is an easy read, but the common theme of downtrodden women finding happiness through men was a turn off.
Also, the way they speak in the book -- along the line of "I'se," "Chile" and the like -- is a turn off. I felt the it was stereotypical and wasn't necessary to get the point across."
"From the moment I finished my first J. California Cooper book I knew she would be one of my favorite authors. Since finishing my second book, I'm sure she's one of my favorites! Her books are so real that from page one you are hooked into the story. I have found myself talking to friends about characters from her book like I have known them all my life. She makes me cry, laugh out loud, and dream of love while waiting patiently from my knight in shining armor. Each of her stories remind me that it isn't about the material things in life because in an instance they can be gone, but friendship, family, and people you meet along the way makes life worth living. Don't get me wrong each character experiences hardships that for me are unimaginable and those I have learned on my journey lies, deceit, heartache,depression, and death, but each character keeps going as many of us do. The rewarding part about Cooper's books is that the ending reminds you that regardless of how bad people treat you, you have to turn the other cheek, continue to be giving and loving. That in the end is the best payback."
