Check out what APOOO Member Phyllis Rhodes has to say about a Taste of Honey by Jabari Asim below:
I finished A Taste of Honey over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed it: the characters, the neighborhood, the storytelling — and especially the interweaving/inter-relationships of the characters and plotlines — very well-done in all areas. It read more like a novel than short stories and I kinda hated to see it end. I hope he revisits the story to keep us updated on Crispus, Ed, and their families, friends, and neighbors. My rating: 4.5/5 — one of the best SS collections I’ve read recently. My rating 4.5 and no problem bumping up to a “mainstream” 5 rating.
As I tell my book loving friends, word of mouth recommendations, especially from like-minded readers are still the best form of advertising. Based upon Phyllis’ glowing blurb I’ve added Taste of Honey to my to-read list.

I just finished this book this weekend and so agree with this review.
I just did not want the stories to end.
I will be recommending to just about everyone I know.
