In GOD AIN’T BLIND by Mary Monroe, the memorable character, Annette Goode Davis, is back and she is thinner than ever. Gone are her signature mumu’s. She has gone from a size 24 to a size 16. Everyone has noticed her significant weight loss, well that is… everyone except her husband, Pee Wee.
No matter what Annette does or wears, Pee Wee ignores her. Pee Wee has not touched Annette in over a year. Annette’s feeling as though Pee Wee no longer desires her and angrily begins to suspect that Pee Wee is having an affair. Little does she know its worse than she imagined.
Louis Baines is a handsome, young caterer who is also the owner of a new local restaurant, OFF THE HOOK. When Annette walks into his establishment, she and Louis are instantly attracted to each other. Since Annette is feeling neglected at home and experiencing a sexual drought for a over a year, Louis’ attention is right on time… or so she thinks. With the encouragement of her best friend, Rhonda, she enters an affair with Louis. She is only thinking within the moment, not the potential consequences down the line. She will soon discover that Louis has not been totally truthful with her.
GOD AIN’T BLIND by Mary Monroe was an exceptional read. It is an insightful look into relationships. It showed what can happen when there is a lack of communication in a relationship. Instead of talking with one another, they decide to go outside the relationship to have an affair. The question is…is it worth it? Is it really worth losing what you worked so hard to build? It is like playing with fire, someone will get hurt! The key lesson to be learned from reading this novel…COMMUNICATION. Remember just because you think no one sees when you are up to no good…GOD AIN’T BLIND, he sees all and hears all!
