    <body><![CDATA[I am a very big E. Lynn Harris fan, so when I heard this book was coming out, I was excited. I was hoping to read about Basil and Raymond, my two favorite characters from Harris' novels. I cheated and flipped through the pages only to find that Basil was only in a few chapters and Raymond was nowhere to be found. Also, there were no major gay characters with issues and drama. So, I was disappointed.<br/><br/>However, as I read, I began to relate to Brady and all of the charaters that did sppear in the book. It seemed that EVERYONE had a secret and reminded me of my own. This book was a beautiful surprise. I loved the diverse characters. I even sympathized with Barrett. <br/><br/>This provevs that E. Lynn Harris can write a novel about people and not just gay people. I loved this novel and will continue to be a big fan!<br/><br/>I learned from this book that no mater what happens in your life, the people you love will always be there for you and as Janet Jackson said on the Velvet Rope album &quot;You don't have to hold on to the pain to hold on to the memory.&quot;]]></body>
