About this title

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.

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.
