Summary: A revealing book
Comment: I found this book searching through the fiction section at the library. I thought it would be a fu fu book for fun but it ended up revealing some things about my personality and the relationship I was having with a friend of mine. The main character, Claire is a southern gal who is somewhat conservative and sheltered before coming to NYC. When she gets there she meets Jade and uncovers some romantic feelings she has for her while also being scared of admitting them to herself. The only part I didnt like about the book is the few months where there was no Jade at all and Claire was putsing around the city being bored without any friends and nothing interesting was happening. I recommend this book to anyone who is unsure of their sexuality. This book made me feel like having feelings for someone of the same sex isnt dirty; it's a beautiful thing.

Summary: Amazing, almost a coming of age novel
Comment: Perhaps the fact that this book hits close to home is what keeps it a treasure for me but the truth cannot be hidden that this is well written and engrossing. McCloy enables the reader to acknowledge that the world lies far beyond the small neighborhoods we consider it to be made up of. The characters are engaging and though I was disappointed by the "secret" that Jade hides it does not diminish the value behind the characters tales. Well worth the small amount of time it will take you to read... go for it!

Summary: This book is well crafted and appealing
Comment: I would disagree with the reviews posted by New Yorkers; this is a nicely written book which does draw you in to the main character. I am a male from the Southeast, but I am not a stranger to New York. The main female character is quite appealing, the descriptions were quite hypopnotic in some places, truly making the reader feel involved and erotically interested. Though disappointing in some places, the overall effect of the book was quite satisfying and made me want to get on a plane and look for the main character and Jade. Essentially a female version of Bright Lights, Big City, in a different decade, and maybe not quite so original and well written, but THIS IS A GOOD BOOK. This is a lady writer I would like to hear more from. Trite advice: read it at the beach
