The way I cried reading this. Beautiful and powerful love story. I’m not really into SiFi, but this I can get into.

I had so many expectations of this book. The reviews were stellar, the anticipation great. Perhaps I was focused on the wrong genre. I thought A Love Song for Ricki Wilde was literary historical romance with time travel involved. Instead the novel is more romance with an unconvincing love story, a confusing voodoo backstory, and characters who don’t feel fully realized.

I did enjoy the 1920s Harlem Renaissance detail, and Ricki is an intriguing protagonist in her own right. Otherwise, the chemistry between the main characters and the logic behind the metaphysical plot line leave much to be desired. It felt more stated than experienced. In the end, I wasn’t completely sure what drew the two main characters together and why it was so monumental. I wasn’t a fan but it may be a book you appreciate depending on your interests.
