Basketball Jones by E. Lynn Harris
This was my first novel by E. Lynn Harris and I thoroughly enjoyed reading the drama that unfolded. I have heard about Mr. Harris most of my life but I never thought to pick up one of his books because everybody my age was into Sister Souljah and her break out novel. Glancing through the stacks at the library, I ran across this book and I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. I did not expect this book to be about a homosexual relationship and after reading some synopsis from his other novels I realized that most of his novels were apart of the LGBT community. This story has all of the drama most urban books have that included the lead character being involved in a secret relationship with a pro NBA player, who is trying to maintain his heterosexual relationship for the public eye, while getting blackmailed by his best friend. This book had so many twist and turns that I didn't mind already figuring out the ending because I enjoyed reading the drama all the way to the end. I will definitely pick up another novel by this author just to get another laugh or two.
