I was given this book by my Read It & Reap for review on Goodreads.
Sometimes I like to start a new book without knowing what it is about. After I finished the last page there is one thing I do know, I will be looking for future books by Shewanda Pugh.
This story has a great plot line, with sub-plots that support the main one. Each character had their own place and were important in the progression of the story. i felt a genuine connection with the main characters and each of the secondary ones played a crucial role.
With well written descriptive scenes, the authors words painted powerful pictures. The dialogue was good and flowed nicely.
Deena, being half black and half white, is trying to find out where her place is in her family while juggling a new relationship and a huge project at work. Takumi, a Japanese American, grapples with the knowledge that his love for Deena is forbidden by his father and if discovered could destroy them both.
Having read this book in one sitting, I was captivated by all of the characters. Shewanda Pugh is a talented writer and I strongly recommend that you read this book. I will be on the lookout for more.
