Query: A Good Book But...

I just started reviewing books and I couldn't help but to compare this book to "Stories I Wouldn't Tell Nobody But God." For those that haven't read that book, the book tackles the same issue of friendship and the rollercoaster ride, and I do mean a rollercoaster ride, when things happen that affect the friendship. I kept comparing Whitney to Rasheed Clark's Sista in his book. With that book, you felt like you knew the people involved. At times, I kept thinking who acts like this when reading about Charisse. I want to say this book is good but that's like listening to Luther Vandross and then hearing somebody try that same song. You like the remake but having had something more original, I felt that way about this book. I suggest you pick up a copy of "Stories I Wouldn't Tell Nobody But God." You will be glad you did. Minus, the obvious editorial errors, which anybody that focus on them seem petty, you will see what I am talking about.
