I Do or Maybe I Don't
3 1/2 stars
Shana Johnson Burton's novel First Comes Love is an engaging tale of two best friends, London and Bernard. Both have recently been dumped by their significant others and decide they needed a 'pick me up'. So they fly off to Vegas for a fun-filled weekend. Only to wake up the next morning with a hangover and a ring. A wedding ring! Unable to get a quick and easy annulment they arrive back in town to face London's very religious and 'psychic' grandmother, Essie. She notices the ring on London's finger and talks the two into working on their new nuptials stating that God intended for marriage to be forever. Bernard moves in with London and the emotional roller-coaster begins.
First Comes Loves shows that marriage is nothing to take lightly. London and Bernard learns this lesson the hard way...through trial and error. I liked the message the book conveys, though some of the scenes appeared unrealistic.
