Heard it All Before by Michele Grant is an excellent debut that explores dating and class differences among the thirty-something set. Jewellen Capwell is the ultimate Black-American Princess. She was born and raised in North Dallas and has made it her business not to venture too far south. It is not that she is out of touch with being black, it is simply that she is being cautious. At 30 she owns her own temporary services business and is all about upward mobility. Though she has been dateless for a long time she has not even considered venturing to the south side to look for love. That is until her best friend, Renee, a former south side girl convinces her to attend a basketball game. Jewellen reluctantly agrees and has her world rocked by the south side hunk, Roman Montgomery. Roman puts the `F’ in fine and within moments Jewellen is smitten. The question becomes is she open to love, even if she has to venture into the `hood’ to get it?

Ms. Grant offers an entertaining insight into the dating world of what would appear to be opposites. However, she does a wonderful job of showing that there are not that many things that are different about the heart’s ability to love. What was particularly interesting was how Grant managed to show the strengths and weaknesses in her male and female characters, showing that men are as interested in loving and being loved as women. I recommend Heard it All Before to all who love an entertaining, humorous look at love in contemporary times.
