He Say, She Say

by Yolanda Joe

Sandy is a twentysomething executive on the fast track at work and looking for love in her personal life. T.J. is the object of her affection, a jazz pianist who prefers to keep his romances casual--but who may be facing the real deal in Sandy. Bebe is Sandy's confidante, a bank supervisor who is struggling through her self-imposed "sex sabbatical". Speed is T.J.'s father and best friend, a man who isn't too old to learn a few things from his son. Together these four weave a funny, touching, and vivid tale of coping with the ups and downs of everyday life in Chicago that readers won't soon forget.

A lot of Chicago slang in this book. I enjoyed the form and direction of the book. I wonder if Yolanda Joe speaks the way she writes. Much of the dialogue sounded like barbershop conversation.

I would tell someone to read this book if they want a novel from black life in the 90s.

I've been wanting to read the sequel since childhood so I am starting that one.

DNF'ed within the first 15 pages.
I found the obscenity stupefying and, as much as it pains me to ever dissuade reading, I do not recommend this book.
