What do You think about Soulmates Dissipate (2003)?
3.75 Read this before but cldnt remember. Liked it better this time around. The fact that they introduced each other using their first, middle, last names, plus still cracks me up but I digress. This was a really good read without slow spots. Many people really don't understand the soulmate concept but I understand that there are forces out there working against you sometimes that aim to interrupt your flow. Just because you find your soulmate doesn't mean you'll have your happily ever after. Wellington pulled a weak move on Diamond by saying he never saw her other side. Her reaction to the news about the infidelity wasn't worth losing a relationship over. For such a suave player like himself to allow his mother to choose his houseguest is just ridiculous. Recommend

I really enjoyed this book. I kinda struggled in the beginning because it was all mushy stuff and I am not much of a mushy person but when the drama began that's when I perked up. LOL! I like drama. Don't get me wrong I love a good love story but I can do with out the mushy stuff because unfortunately that only happens in fairytales. Anyway it turned out to be a very good book and I am going to start the sequel, Never again once more cause I must see what happens next. This is one I would recommend.

*Spoilers ahead.I can appreciate a fun, cheesy melodrama now and then, but this is just horrible. This is the first of a best-selling series by a well-known African-American author. I wish I could understand what people find interesting about it. The writing is atrocious. Morrison's descriptions are totally redundant. Her "dark chocolate skin," his "caramel hand," her "dark chocolate thighs," his "caramel shoulders." So on and so forth. I think she tells about his "six foot frame" at least six times. The BEST part, however, is the supplement at the end which serves as a self-help discovery workshop to help you, the reader, find your own soulmate. And by "soulmate," the story seems to mean someone who will secretly cheat on you with his mother's goddaughter, and then get you to have a threesome with his mother's goddaughter who is really his secret half-sister who has been taking fertility drugs to get pregnant with his baby--no TRIPLETS!--and then almost die by running her car into the San Francisco Bay. After all of that, of course, you will still love him because you are soulmates. Get it? Yeah, this book is friggin' awful.
