I Say a Little Prayer by E. Lynn Harris

3.0

The main character is this one, I just really couldn't jive with. It was very heavy on the religion side, which served its purpose for the plot, but Chauncey's judgmental nature contradicted a good chunk of his religious beliefs. He was very self-centered, misogynistic, colorist, always slut-shaming (but still sleeping with men in relationships), and making disparaging remarks about other gay men (including those he called his friends). E. Lynn Harris creates characters that are like some of the most irritating people I know, which is why I can't say that his stories are ever...unrealistic. But this one, while it had the drama that I love, was full of a lot of shit that just does not age well.
