Summary: A real page turner
Review: All i can say is that EJD does it again. I was never one to pick up a book and read it in a few days. Most books it takes me weeks to read, but I just could not put this book down. I felt like I just had to keep reading, even into the wee hours of the night. The twists and turns in the plot, as well as the ending makes this book a real page turner!

Summary: Disappointing to Say the Least
Review: What happened to the guy who created magic on pages with novels such as " Sister Sister, Friends & Lovers, Milk in my Coffee and Cheaters"? It must be me alone thinking, "has Eric Jerome Dickey lost his touch?" After two weeks of struggling to get through "Between Lovers" I can't believe I just finished it and walked away thinking I've been cheated once again. Well I've finally learned my lesson, any future novels written by Mr. Dickey will definitely be purchased in paperback form or not at all.

Summary: All I Can Say is Whew!!
Review: After reading this book I was wondering where did this come from. But, that's neither here or there because this was a good book. I have read all of EJD books and liked each one. But, this one gives us a chance to see more of how good of a writer EJD is. I have to think it can not be easy to write a story in first person. This book had it excellent dialogue between the characters until you could almost feel as if you were listening in on their conversations. It was descriptive. Not only the sex scenes, but the area and the characters. I could picture Nicole's mother so vividly I could have named her. You did notice she did not have a name either? The story was different. I must say, the characters were not very likeable, but who says you have to like the characters. I mean. I Hated Nicole, thought HE was a wimp and Ayanna was evil. But as I read I changed my mind about He and Ayanna, but still despised Nicole. Having a chance to meet and talk with Eric on his book tour I have even more appreciation for this book. Don't let the subject matter scare you away. This is the book to read!

Summary: Eric Jerome Dickey hits this one out of the park!
Review: In his most sensitively written and fully realized novel, Eric Jerome Dickey reveals the complexities, jealousies, and raw emotions that make up most relationships. Because he explores these themes through controversial venues, i.e. lesbianism and threesomes, some readers might be put off by Dickey's latest novel. For those who read "Between Lovers" in its entirety, they will be rewarded with one of the most honest and thought provoking novels of the year. Abandoning the bizarre behavior that has characterized the females in his last books, Dickey creates in Ayanna and Nicole two very manipulative and confused, although not entirely unsympathetic women. When Nicole frequently exhibits her I-want-my-cake-and-eat-it-too attitude, this is not unlike other typical romance novels where a female character has to choose between love and money. However here, Nicole is faced with the choice between a conventional life with the male narrator, whom she loves, that stays within socially accepted norms; or does she continue her relationship with Ayanna, whom she loves, but it means an estrangement from her mother and giving up the hope of a normal family life. For some, this would be an easy, simple choice, but Dickey movingly portrays Nicole's anguish, and the reader can't help being moved as well. The one flaw with "Between Lovers" is that Dickey makes his male narrator a put-upon victim, who seemingly has no flaws except to fall in love with a woman who can't make up her mind. However, the sensitivity with which his and Nicole's and Ayanna's dilemma is written more than makes up for this minor annoyance. While the narrator's, Nicole's, and Ayanna's particular problem is an unusual and an unenviable one, Dickey shows that petty jealousy and being in love with two people at the same time are universal emotions that anyone can identify with.

Review: Eric Jerome Dickey is one of the most creative writers of our time. Once again he gives us another 'can't put it down' novel that makes you feel like you are there going through every event. It is a definite must have.

Summary: Excellent!
Review: This book...what can I say? It was excellent. It had a powerful plot and a great ending. I think that this is the best Dickey book yet. When I got it I had heard nothing about it, but I am so happy that I bought it. The descriptive way that Dickey writes captivates any who read his books, but he has out done himself. This is a must read!

Summary: Nic, Ayanna, and what's his name...WOW!!!!
Review: This is Eric's BEST!! I too have read all of Eric's novels and can clearly see how he has matured as a writer and developed into the greatest story teller in contemporary African-American fiction. If you as a reader are not prepared to come out of the box of the same stereotypical relationship Between Lovers is not the novel for you, but if you are willing to explore the outsides of your box Between Lovers will take you there. Enjoy!
