When You Think of Me

Summary: It made me think of me!
Review: Annetra Wagner Piper is the author of When You Think of Me, a contemporary novel about an African American couple in the new millennium. It is a provocative and poignant story of love gone wrong and what it takes to get it right again. Most of us can relate to this story. What happens when two people, who are very much in love, destroy their relationship for all the wrong reasons? How can you move on when you think of one another constantly?

The writing was straightforward and easy to read. I read it quickly, because frankly, I couldn't put it down. The characters were very believable; it felt like I was leaving old friends. It was inspirational; the author used quite a few scriptures to help her characters make it through. It wasn't preachy, but it gives you insight and encouragement if you are going through a similar situation.

When You Think of Me is the author's first novel. I look forward to more from her in the future. I definitely recommend this book.

Summary: One You Won't Be Able To Put Down Until The Last Page!
Review: I simply loved the book! The reading is easy and so detailed, that your curiosity will not allow you put the book down until the last page. The characters are realistic and get into some pretty sticky situations that draw you into their world to find out "what will happen next." In the end, all is well in this modern-urban realistic fairy-tale.

Summary: So Fresh and So Clean
Review: I truly enjoyed reading this book. I found myself getting very involved in the lives of the character. I am not a fast reader, however, this was a book that will develop your thirst for the "what happens next".

It was a great story depicting the reality of how quickly things can go wrong in the lives of two people that love each other. It was a story of love that continued to get on the wrong bus home but eventually seems to find the right route. I loved it. It was clean, yet it flirted with a little fun here and there. I highly recommend this book to the reader with a taste for down to earth quality writing.

Summary: It made me think of me!
Review: Newly married, Charles and Caroline are young, happy, in love and ready to take on the world. When Caroline becomes pregnant, this seems to be the icing on the cake. Shortly after the baby is born, reality sets in, insecurities surface, and trust goes out the window, resulting in a divorce a scant few years later.

Several years after the divorce, Charles and Caroline are once again living in the city. Realizing that he still loves Caroline and wants to be a family again, Charles sets out to win her back. When Caroline's old insecurities begin to resurface, he begins to feel that his efforts are an exercise in futility and that it may be best to leave things status quo.

WHEN YOU THINK OF ME is your classic tale of love gone wrong and the sacrifices one must endure in order to make it right again. Although the premise of the book was good, the under developed characters, weak storyline, and the passage of time not clearly indicated, detracted greatly from the book. With a little more work honing her craft, I believe Annetra Wagner Piper will definitely be an author to look out for.

Review: This is a very positive African American story of love lost and then found. It reads as if the author was talking to me on the phone about a situation with a friend. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good weekend read.
