Synthia Williams has put out a great debut novel and is an excellent writer.
In her debut novel, You Can't Plan Love the reader is taken on an emotional ride as they ride the coaster of life with the main character Kenyatta Copeland and her passionless relationship with her long time boyfriend Brad Johnson. The author does an excellent job letting the reader see what can happen when emotion and not the heart rule a relationship. It is the deisre for stability and safety that drives Kenyatta Copeland to stay with Brad but its passion and desire that draws her heart to her boss, Malcolm Patterson. The readers are given a glimpse of how 3 years of foreplay, infatuation and idolizing versus intimidation, manipulation and deception can turn one's life upside down.
This novel is filled with so much love and emotional drama as well as suspense that once you start reading you will not want to put it down. There are twists and turns that surprises the reader and make you wish that you could get your hands on the characters. You will get mad, want to scream and also applaud as the characters experience life.
The dialogue between the characters flows easily between the characters thus making the story very believable.
Synthia Williams is a terrific writer who makes you wish for more. I personally look forward to future titles from her.
