Book Reviews of She Slipped and Fell
Book Review: " A Love Story Is A Love Story...Regardless Of Sexual Preference"
Summary: 5 Stars
This novel was 263 pages of a well-used tree!!
This is the first novel that I have read by Shonda, and I was impressed.
She had me hooked from the very first words, which for me (an avid book reader) is hard to do!!!
She did an excellent job penning a story about 2 beautiful spirited individuals and their struggle to exist in a world that denounces them because of their sexual preference. I will say that the story is about 2 lesbians...only because we exist in a world that still justifies treating PEOPLE like 2nd citizens and makes judgments that they are not in position to make. I say the story is about 2 lesbians...only because Shonda touches on an important issue that plagues our society, and in her novel, she sets a stage of confidences amidst the chaos for people labeled because of their sexual preference. Only for those reasons will I mention that the story was about 2 lesbians. Otherwise, I wouldn't care to mention it at all.
[No Spoiler Alert!! This review will not ruin it for those who haven't read it yet!!!]
THE STORY IS ABOUT 2 PEOPLE WHO "SLIPPED AND FELL" IN LOVE, AND THE OBSTACLES THEY HAD TO ENDURE TO OVERCOME HURDLES IN THEIR WAY OF EMBRACING THAT LOVE!!!
RECOMMENDATION: Get the book!!!
I was able to connect to the characters and the raw emotions they felt on this journey through life. I could see the characters' faces in my mind and the places they were in, in the book. I was not inundated with pointless, trashy sex-scenes reflective of promiscuous and self-destructive behavior. The "love-making" scenes were vital and imperative to the penning of a great novel...causing heat to rise in my delta.
It was realistic and encouraging...relevant and catching...necessary and appreciated.
The twists and turns added the "page-tuner" effect that I so thoroughly enjoy when I read a novel. I READ THE BOOK IN HOURS...LITERALLY!!! I had to keep my eyes from wandering to the next page before I finished reading the one I was on. And for most readers, I'm sure the ending was wind-blowing. I LOVE IT THROUGH AND THROUGH!!!
BUY IT....READ IT....REVIEW IT....RECOMMEND IT!!
5 Stars From Me!!
"Chrystal Clear"...Here I Come!!!

Summary of She Slipped and Fell
Tina Jones is alluring and outspoken. Kendall Long is sexy, yet delicate. Whether separate or together, these stunning best friends tend to cause quite a stir among the male population. An innocent fall, however, propels their friendship to a new plateau -- one where each is compelled to explore and confront her sexuality. She Slipped and Fell alternates between each characters' point of view, for only Tina and Kendall can decide whether or not their friendship, and love, is strong enough to endure the humility that is oftentimes associated with being different. Will Tina and Kendall risk stepping outside of their comfort zone into unfamiliar territory, defying society, God, and their families, in their quest to discover who they truly are?Gay Books
