Description

What happens to a twisted love triangle knot? The answer can be found in Clarence Nero's uniquely refreshing modern-day drama. THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY is told from three very distinct points of view with overtones of romance and humor. It has beautifully flowing dialogue that engulfs the reader's attention from the very first sentence. Johnny and Tonya are high school sweethearts. Their lives in New Orleans, Louisiana reek with tragedy and family committments. Unfortunately, Tonya's past relationship puts Johnny in danger when he has an altercation with her former boyfriend that lands him in the penitentiary. Tonya vows to remain by Johnny's side, that is, until she has an opportunity for riches and the baller lifestyle with one of her customers from the strip club where she performs. Johnny is left in jail heartbroken and defeated until he meets openly gay James. This encounter opens up repressed feelings in Johnny that he has to decide whether or not to act upon. I was pleasantly surprised when I began this read. THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY is not your everyday street fiction soap opera that has the down-low brotha twist. It is free-flowing and uniquely pieced together. Nero brings together the lives of three very different characters and shows qualities and flaws from various points of view. THREE SIDES TO EVERY STORY held my attention throughout. It tantalized without being trashy; it also amused and touched me emotionally. The story depicts pre-Katrina New Orleans in authentic fashion without the voodoo overtones or Mardi Gras theme. The characters are complex and multi-faceted. I didn't know who to cheer for or who to dislike because there are no villains or heros. The characters are uniquely N'Aw'linian--real and authentic to life as I knew it in the Crescent City. It brought to life a side of pre-Katrina New Orleans that most folks have never witnessed. It is a definite recommended read that captures the true flavor of a culture I pray will one day be restored.
