Is the Grass Really Greener on the Other Side?

In Lookin’ for a Lover, Zaria Jones is fed up with the male gender.  Sick and tired of going on dates with men that are either married, in a relationship or selfish and self-centered, she wonders if the grass is greener on the other side.  Zaria, deep down has always been curious when it comes to the same sex, but with the stigmatism of what society thinks and, of course, what her family and friends will think she is a bit apprehensive about crossing over.  Yet, when she meets the sexy Charmaine, she decides to take a chance and see for herself.  The question remains though, is the grass really greener on the other side?

Lookin’ for a Lover is a must read for anyone that is ignorant on same sex relationships.  Ms. Jones did an excellent job in portraying how  everyone is affected by same sex relationships, the feelings were so real, that I really felt for Zaria, when she had to deal with how others felt about her decisions.  Honestly though, this book is so much more than just a woman struggling to come to grips with her sexuality.  I was pleasantly surprised on how this book turned out; the synopsis on the back of this book did not do it enough justice.  Trust me when I tell you, you have got to get your hands on a copy of this book, because you definitely will not see where this story is going or how it will end.
