I Love Honeys, Not NY, is the story of Leron Smitty, who relocates from New York to Houston with plans to change his life. His friend, Donovan, convinces him that the move is what he needs, but once he arrives his friend deserts him in a city where he knows no one. Leron quickly learns to adjust to his new environment until he gets a call that his mother has passed away. After burying his mother, Leron decides to return to Houston where his love for women takes over, but does not fill his void. Leron starts to analyze his situation and decides to enroll into college. When he believes all is going well, and he finally wants to settle down with one of his women, he receives a call that he is going to be a father. What will Leron do with this unwanted news?
The reader will find I Love Honeys, Not NY an interesting but challenging read with potential. The plot did not appear to be well thought-out and it was hard to detect where the story was heading. The characters were not strong; details were overkill, which took away from the book, and the ending was incomplete. I recommend the author consider having professional editing services in order to make the book a better read.
