Friends and Lovers

By: Eric Jerome Dickey

Narrated by: Eric Jerome Dickey

Hailed as one of “the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century” (The New York Times), Eric Jerome Dickey captures the humor and heartache of modern love in this sexy, soulful tale.

Attraction can be instant. So can the consequences. Just ask Leonard, Debra, Tyrel, and Shelby. Four friends with so much in common: They’re good-hearted, loyal, and vulnerable to the complicated state of relations between men and women. They’re all searching for love—or at least unqualified affection.

Either way, their lives are about to change.

A witty, honest portrait of the choices we make in the search for happy ever after, Friends and Lovers chronicles the lives of four young Black people through the joy, laughter, and pain of not-so-everyday life.

Skipped recording

There’s a portion of the recording that skipped. No way to avoid it, no matter how many times you try to use the 10 second rewind, it still skips.
It would be helpful if the chapters of the book coincided with the chapter numbers listed on the recording list.

The character development and overall plot.

A beautiful story of friendship and navigating the difficulties of relationships. I read this before in paperback and it was just as good in audiobook format. I felt like I was watching a movie. EJD’s writing speaks to all five senses and sang near every emotion.

The storyline

I loved it! It was so real. You felt like you were living the story as you read it.
