Author: Caleb Alexander
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1416584986
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 261
Book Description
A fresh voice in urban fiction spins a classic romance into a modern-day love story about sisterhood, faith, and overcoming obstacles. This humorous tale of love and triumph ties two unlikely suitors together in a merry mix of plotting and gossip. On one side is R&B superstar, Jamaica, and on the other is the passionate, but impoverished Tameer. When the two are brought together in what is meant to be a temporary relationship—arranged by Jamaica's best friend and personal assistant LaChina—both are surprised when true feelings burst onto the scene and disrupt everyone's plans. With Tameer's drunken father, Jamaica's socialite mother, and a band of super-ghetto, meddling friends all blended together, Two Thin Dimes becomes a hilarious, topsy-turvy fight for love in a world gone mad. Going beyond the simple rich girl, poor boy tale, Caleb Alexander brings his popular style to a whole new level and draws his growing audience along with him as the story takes on social class, unexpected romance, loyalty to friends, and—most importantly—the cost of true love.
