Friends and Lovers - Softcover
"Recommended....Dickey uses humor, poignancy and a fresh, creative writing style....The reader is hooked from the first sentence." --USA Today
In this sexy, soulful tale of love, betrayal, and friendship set in modern-day Los Angeles, the lives of four young African Americans--two men and two women--are chronicled through the love and the laughter, as well as the heartache and pain of not-so-everyday life. A witty, honest portrait of contemporary mores and humanity in which the gender gap isn't merely investigated but celebrated.

From the Back Cover:
Friends and Lovers is the book that sealed the promise of Eric Jerome Dickey's stunningly successful debut, Sister, Sister. Hailed as "one of the most intuitive and hilarious voices in African-American fiction",* Dickey is now a New York Times bestselling author, whose wonderfully enthusiastic and devoted fans have made every one of his books a #1 Blackboard bestseller.
About the Author:
When it comes to love, the attraction can be instant. So can the consequences. Ask Leonard and Debra. Ask Tyrel and Shelby. Four friends with so much in common: They're good-hearted and loyal, talented and sane, compliant, human, open to romance -- and vulnerable to the complicated state of relations between the sexes while searching for love. Or at least, unqualified affection. Either way, their lives are about to change. . . .
In this wise, witty, on-target, and genuinely heartening novel, Eric Jerome Dickey has fashioned a soulfully honest story of the choices men and women make in the name of friendship and love.
Eric Jerome Dickey is the New York Times bestselling author of more than twenty previous novels as well as a six-issue miniseries of graphic novels featuring Storm (X-Men) and the Black Panther. Originally from Memphis, Dickey now lives on the road and rests in whatever hotel will have him.
