Fiction. African American Fiction. Romance. HTML:From Eric Jerome Dickey comes the New York Times bestselling book that stirred up controversy with its bold portrayal of racial identity and subtle understanding of sexual intimacy.

But when Jordan meets Kimberly Chavers, what starts as a shared cab ride turns into something more. This girl is funny, fiesty, fine...and white. And for a man with Malcolm X's picture hanging on his office wall, that's a definite problem....
This brightly entertaining and emotionally complex novel demonstrates why Eric Jerome Dickey was ??one of the most successful Black authors of the last quarter-century? (The New York Times

This book was okay but I think the author copped out a bit at the end. this is a book about a black man falling in love with a white woman and the problems that ensue with family and friends and stuff. Then at the end we find out the heroine's father is black. Well fine but that wasn't exactly the story you told us you were telling was it? What was wrong with letting her be white? The author just seemed to lack the courage of his convictions. ( )

The premise is Jordan and Kimberly are supposed to each take turns telling their side of their seemingly doomed romance. While I tagged this "chick lit" it isn't. Not really. It's the story of two people trying to overcome the color of their skin and their deep rooted opinions. I appreciated Jordan's ingrained racism that spoke to a long standing tradition of passing prejudice through history. He continually referred to the South unapologetically (my word), as if that's just the way it will always be, like it or not. His perceptions of Kimberley as a white woman are generations old. There was more drama in this story expected but that didn't take away from the story.

Milk in My Coffee is broken into four parts. The first eleven chapters are from Jordan Green's point of view. Every chapter is titled "Jordan Greene" before it switches to Kimberley Chambers (for one chapter). Wouldn't it have been simpler (and I would have preferred this) to have one giant section of Jordan Greene narrative?
This isn't a huge deal, but Milk in My Coffee contains references that date the plot. I didn't know Erica Kane or Nurse Rachid so I didn't get the jokes referencing them. ( )

Good book! An interracial relationship as seen from the Black man's perspective. Dickey "writes" women perspective well also. Well developed characters, good insight into their emotions. ( )
