Summary: This book was awful!
Review: Admittedly, I allowed myself to be persuaded to buy this book by the cleverly marketed front cover. I really should have paid closer attention to the reviewer from North Carolina, and saved my money. The heroine was unsympathetic, and lacked dimension. It was unbelievable that a sista would wait until just before the wedding ceremony to run away. Weddings cost too much money for that kind of foolishness! The plot was missing in action, and unrealistic. To make matters worse, anyone that grew up in Chicago as I did, knows that you would never pick up a guy on the El (including Ben Stephens) and allow him to take you home.

Summary: boy boy boy
Review: All i have to say is that i feel sorry that sweet nice Ben ended up with such a fickle and not too right in the head woman. I hope the author didn't think that this female character was realistic in thinking she needed to get married because she was pregnant. PLEASE!

Summary: Very Slow Paced
Review: Can this book get any worse?! I wanted to give it 0 stars, because it simply doesn't deserve any. Unfortunately the author has done a poor job of trying to get this story across. EVERYTHING was too unrealistic. First, you do NOT pick up a stranger on the subway, no matter if he's white, yellow, or indigo! Second, you do NOT allow this man to climb into your apartment to open your door! Third, when this man comes back the next day, you do NOT open the door for him, you instead reach for the phone and dial 9-1-1!! I haven't even finished this book yet and I'm debating if I even should (I'm in the middle). I agree with the other reviewers who said a black, educated, female will not run out on her wedding. I understand that Ivy realized she didn't love this man anymore (hey, it happens), but to handle it in such a immature fashion is not characteristic of an educated adult. Next, a mature, educated, black, woman is not going to go to a baseball game right after this incident!! Give me a break!! And another thing, I don't get Ben? Is he black or white, on the cover he's white, but why does her ex-fiance call him "light-skinned"? Of course I haven't finshed the book, so maybe that issue of light-skinned vs. white is resolved. Also, I was a little bothered by Ben's comment about "I'm just tryin' to help a sista out", where does he get off saying something like that?! Did anyone else feel that Ben was just a bit too pushy? I'm sorry to be tackless but...Ms. Wilson-Harris, please give it another try.

Summary: Not as good as it could have been
Review: i liked this book but there are a lot of spots in it that just don't flow well togetherand i was also confused as to whether ben was african-american or if he was white maybe he was bi-racial either way it should have been better explained in my opinion i'm not putting down the author or anything but i personally think if your looking for a book that will keep you turing the pages don't get this one i regretted wasting my money on this one after i finished reading it

The book could have been written better.

Summary: Dismal, Dismal
Review: I was extremely disappointed with this book. A very poor variation of the movie "Runaway Bride". None of the characters rang true.
