[African Americans on the Move Book Club · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reading this novel was not only a quick and easy read it was captivating. Reading the story of two people who fall in love when they are still healing from a broken heart was so moving. I enjoyed this read mainly because it was relatable, and straight to the point. NDEA B made a great debut with this novel and the fact that it ended for abruptly only means one thing, there is a part two. You will laugh, and vision the characters that she created. I am anxious to see what happens to Jasmine and Emmanuel because just like them we always have to fight for love.

As the editor of this novel, when I first began editing "Too Good To Be True", I immediately noticed Yolanda's natural talent for storytelling. I enjoyed the process I went through while editing her novel. I greatly enjoyed the story. Every single character drew me deeper and deeper into the story. I could relate to each one of them. The plot was brilliant from start to finish. I feel that Yolanda has the potential to be one of urban fiction's rising stars in the near future, because of her natural talent for storytelling. You can definitely expect more great stories from this wonderful author.
