i love this book it was in excellant condition and i recieved it within a timely manner.

Cheaters was good I recommend it. It was funny the story line was good. The characters were real. It was good, I read it in three days!!!

I did enjoy this shallow, gossipy, all's-well-that-ends-well drama parade. I would normally be very judgmental of much of the behavior portrayed in this book and it had accomplished its goal of explaining the motivations behind it. The Chante's and Stephen's of the world are open enough and insensitive enough to put themselves out there.

I found the author's portrayals of female characters unconvincing, and while the book was fast-paced, it was unfulfilling. None of the characters were likable and the perfunctory happily-ever-after ending seemed just like an easy way out. If such a thing is possible, I feel like this is a bad book written by a good writer.

3.5 stars. ****spoilers***
For the most part I found this story to be entertaining, but in all honesty he could have easily shaved 150-200 pages off this and I do agree that the ending left something to be desired. I, too, kept waiting for Toyomi's to slam Stephen with the ultimate pay back. A lot of material felt like filler-like the whole hooking up with Nicole and Perri scene and didn't really see the point of the dreams for Jake. It just seemed like extra. Chante hooking back up with Thaiheed or whatever... But EJD does have a gift for dialogue and even character development because you clearly see everyone in your mind. I can't believe that Stephen kept frontin' on his boy Darnell after all the mess he had going and after Dawn fronted on his own girl Chante at the family BBQ. Tammy's ghetto family had me in stitches. "Somebody get me my damn pants!" Classic. I applaud Darnell for not cheating on his wife before Tammy left, but thought he took the coward's way out on how he ultimately left. And that's saying something because I didn't like Dawn in the slightest. Overall, again this is an entertaining book, but I started feeling the long pages around pg 300.

This book is the story of a group of male and female
friends that are struggling in their mid-twenties to
define themselves in careers, friendships and relationships.

The main focus of the story though seems to be on Chante,
a black woman with too much attitude. I know that there
are SOME women out there like that but it would have been
nice to show her as two-dimensional and perhaps even vulnerable
without the layers of baggage. That's my only gripe about
the book.

The ending was somewhat surprising and different. I liked that
I could not predict the ending.

Other than that, it was an enjoyable read and for this to
be my first time reading an Eric Jerome Dickey book, my
hat goes off to him.
