Review:

RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES by Michelle MRob Robinson was some read that will stay with
me forever. Why? Because it was so realistic and emotional that will only leave you saying Wow...what a wonderful read! This author was able to bring a real story that you could feel the spirit... the realness of each and every page of the read. I laughed, cried and even got upset at certain {going ons} but in the end when I thought all was truly being worked out however, there was a shock at the end that left me hopefully thinking that there will be a sequel. Ms. Robinson don't leave us with this being 'The End.' Anyway, I will say this was a excellent read that comes to us from the California area...from Chapter 1 ..Alright.... till the end... to Chapter 34... Gangsta Party.... I was on edge of my seat. I also loved the crankberry {cell} phone conversations throughout the read and how about all of those Facebook reads.

The storyline was about a group of ordinary people who just wanted to be loved, cherished ...wanting that special person that would love this unconditionally. Let me start by introducing you to these wonderful characters....Journee {Nee}Faith Bell{twin} was truly a diva that had involvements with Andre Lee Mills(Drew), Mario, Jason Moses Smith, Sean Fisher and finally Julius {Jules}. Now, her roommate was her best friend...Derrick Long known as {Funnyman}. The girl friends {divas} were: Najah, Chelsea, Kalena, Ashley and Joydyn Marie Bell {the other twin} and they truly were a tight group of ladies. I was also taken with and even reacting to...Mama Len, Mama Sand,Todd, Greg, Chris, Brandon,and Pastor Claybon Lea to name a few. Now, I hope I have your attention because I want you now asking.......What is this novel all about? YES!

I was made to really feel at home with the wonderful MUSIC that you were made to hear .....all during this wonderful read... {about 4 hours..it took for me}....starting with Ledisi...Alright, then it continues on..I Get Around by Tupac, Take It Easy by Mad Lion, then there is Luther, Gap Band, Jodeci, India.Arie, One More Chance, by Biggie, Angel by Chaka Khan, R Kelly's ..Step In the Name of Love, Jay Z's American Gangster, Marin Sapp.. Never Would Have Made It, Seperate by Rahsaan Patterson, Halfcrazy by Musiq, Kenny Loggins, Doobie Brothers, The Bee Gees, There Goes My Baby by Charlie Wilson, Eric Benet, Your The Only One I Need, Zoom by the Commodores, Lovi' You by Minnie Ruperton, Lovely Day, Lady In My Life by Michael Jackson, With You I'm Born again, Never to Much by Luther Vandross...Dance With My Father... Turn Off the Lights by Teddy Pendergrass, You Know How To Love Me by Phyllis Hyman, Blow the Whistle by Too Short to Faith Evans...Faithfully! Wow! What really surprised me was that I have most of all of those CD's. I will go even further to say I could see this novel being made into a beautiful movie...Oh my, my, my....let me continue on.

Will these ladies find the love that they wanted just for them? OK, who is in jail, gay, pregnant, getting married, sleeping around, a slap, really hurting the
relationship with their parents, twins, a real fist fight, a hairdresser, a godson, a comedian, and even death?? Do I have your undivided attention? .....Now this is where I say I will not tell you because I want you to pick up this wonderful novel..."Right Before My Eyes" and read it for yourself. I do not think you will be disappointed. I certainly was not! For you will find out just who Nee will turn to in the end besides God. I did enjoy how this author presented God into this read...from the sermon of Pastor Claybon Lea..'What Happens to a Dream Deferred?" ...Hold On to Your Hope..Go To Bed in Hope and Wake Up in Hope. Leaving you only to say Amen!

I think you all know by now... that I thoroughly enjoyed this read "Right Before My Eyes" and yes I would recommend it to any one that likes a good romance that is so full of soul, forgiveness, prayer and love. Be ready to take a wonderful ride that will leave you only wanting more. Good Job Ms. Robinson!
