Summary: You Give Me Fever!
Review: Two marriages on opposite coasts experiencing marital difficulties, though having nothing to do with each other, are impacted by one woman who is struggling with her own cross to bear. This is the story being told in Linda Dominique Grosvenor's sequel to Like Boogie on Tuesday; Fever. Tim Richardson, a filmmaker, and his wife Nina are experiencing the marital woes of loneliness and possible infidelity. Carla Robertson-Singleton, a teacher, and Sam Singleton, in real estate, are experiencing the marital woes of secrets. Troi Singleton, Nina's sister and Carla's best friend, is trying to get her life back together and raise a teenaged daughter. At one point or another all of them find themselves sitting in the middle of Troi's living room wondering what has gone wrong in their lives and relationships Ms. Grosvenor has written a good book that had me at word one. Since I haven't read her first book, Like Boogie on Tuesday, this was my first time reading this author. I thought the book was well written and it held my interest. I indeed became involved with the characters and emotionally affected by their choices. Some of the choices made seemed to come from a place I couldn't relate to and it left me frustrated, yet thoughtful. Others choices I felt were right in line with my choices. Ms. Grosvenor does have the knack to stay true to her characters and I liked that a lot. Although this is a sequel the book does stand on its on. I am sure that reading the first would give a clearer picture, however it is not necessary. It is very difficult for me to go back and read the first book after reading the sequel out of order but I know that eventually I will have to give Like Boogie on Tuesday a chance. Fever is a recommendable read.
