Book Review: Better Friends Than Lovers?
Summary: 4 Stars
London and Bernard have been best friends for years. Over time, they have become the go-to persons when problems arise, when they want to have fun, and when they need to vent over broken hearts. When London finds out her current boyfriend is actually a married man, she runs to Bernard for the comfort and support she needs. Even though she is drowning in the sorrows of her relationship ending, London is happy to learn Bernard is planning to propose to his live-in girlfriend. Unfortunately for Bernard, the proposal doesn't go as planned and both friends end up brokenhearted. What better way to get over your ex than a trip to Vegas with your best friend and paid for by the person who did you wrong? Although it seems like a great idea at the time, when the best friends wake up in the same bed married, they wonder what they have gotten themselves into. London's grandmother is there to give them an answer and some Biblical knowledge that forces them to give their marriage a real try. Will they be able to have a lasting marriage or will both of them end up without a spouse or a best friend?
Shana Johnson Burton's FIRST COMES LOVE is the roller coaster ride of London and Bernard's relationship. Burton does a good job of taking the reader inside each of the character's minds and keeps us guessing as to what will happen with the two. The novel was well written and while it wasn't something I could read in one sitting, it was interesting enough to keep me coming back for more. In my opinion, the grandmother comes off a little too preachy but she also falls into the stereotypical role of the all knowing, Bible-thumping old lady many of us know well. Overall, Burton did a good job with this novel and I look forward to more works from her.
