DESCRIPTION:
M. Desoer said I don't "get" the hype. Maybe my expectations were too high after reading the other reviews, but I found this book to be highly lacking. In fact, during the first half of the book, my inclination was to give this book an even lower rating. The second half was more interesting, but still could not overcome the problems with this book.First of all, as other reviewers have noted, the writing is really cliche. There was nothing creative about the prose, except the fact that the story is told alternatively between the first person (as Basil) and the third person.Second, the main characters (except Windsor) are so vapid.

A Customer said Good, but I'm ready for new characters. I'm a major fan of E. Lynn Harris and have read his previous books multiple times. However, I was a bit disappointed with this one. I still find Basil to be interesting, but I don't care for the Lancey character. It took me awhile to get into this one. The second half of the book is excellent and I could not put it down! I give the previous books 10 stars out of five, but this one was my least favorite. I know that E. Lynn Harris has a lot to write, and I look forward to future books (hopefully with new characters!). Even though I was disappointed with this one, I'll still read all future b

But it had never gotten to the point where I wanted to kill myself. --Regina Marler. Set in New York in the closing months of 1999, E. "Especially when I was naked," Basil confides, "My ass was perfect and my jimmie was both long and thick." Basil has fallen in love with an equally alluring figure, Yancey Braxton, a bronze-skinned Broadway singer whose beauty and dedication are matched by ferocious self-
A fiercely driven Broadway star on the rise, blessed with beauty, charm, and a fondness for the finer things in life, she appears to be his ideal mate. A lavish wedding is planned, but just before the nuptials, fate and a little comeuppance threaten the happy couple’s future.Charged with narrative exuberance and sumptuous detail, Not a Day Goes Byproves that nobody spins a sexy urban love story like E. Lynn Harris.. After retiring his jersey for a career as a sports agent, the dashing playboy is surprising everyone—including himself—by deciding to settle down and commit to his new love, Yancey Harrington Braxton.
