This book was incredible. I am a very picky reader and usually buy books written by a select few, eg., Walter Mosley, Omar Tyree or Dianne McKinney-Whetstone. However, I am always on the look-out for new authors to add to my collection. Nina Corbett hit the nail on the head with this book. I really enjoyed the story because it felt like I was sharing and listening with two of my good friends. Ms. Corbett's unique way of telling a story allowed me to express some sort of emotion at each chapter--whether it was laughter, sadness or utter "hands on my hips" disbelief.I also enjoyed the way the title and the chapters related to well known songs. Ms. Corbett also impressed me with the list of questions at the back of the book. It made me want to start my own book club just so that I could share this book with others!!!"Standing In The Shadows Of Love" is a real page turner and has a story that every woman can relate to. I look forward to Ms. Corbett's next novel.
