review 1: I cannot remember when last had I enjoyed a good romance as much as I did this one.“Bluesday” is a truly beautiful and inspiring love story - the kind of book you can read through in one relaxing evening and enjoy every moment thereof.Set in the African-American community, this book is delightfully unique and highly informative about their culture. I really liked the characters and found it refreshing that the two main characters are not the usual stereotypical blue-eyed blonde girl and tall, dark and handsome boy.From Mamma, the strict family matriarch to the more modern Bobby and the two amusing granddaughters; I was quite sad to say good bye to them at the end of the story.“Bluesday” is not only a love story, but also a tale of healing and overcoming tribulation... moressuch as alcoholism, bitterness, guilt and dealing with the harsh realities thereof. The romantic relationship between the main characters is truly beautiful and tastefully described, but of course, not without a few complications. It was refreshing to read a love story where the emphasis is on the love between the characters rather than the possible conflict they might experience.Of course there are also moments of suspense - not the blazing guns type, but the type where you wonder whether the love between the main characters will survive the odds. The dialogue is engaging and extremely well written with subtle humor in all the right places.I would highly recommend this attractively written romance to anybody who loves a good, gentle love story and I happily give “Bluesday” a 5 star rating, hoping that we will see more books similar to this one from Adrienne Thompson in the near future.

review 2: I'm giving the book a 4-star review based on the writing which was great. As far as the story it flowed nicely and was very congruent, though on a personal level I didn't care much for the very preachy overtones. Still it kept my attention, made me feel emotions, thoughts, etc, so it did what it was intended to do. I would recommend it without hesitation, only a slight admonishment that if the person reading isn't really into church or God, this isn't the book for them. less
