About this listen
When Edy Phelps falls hard for her best friend, she knows nothing can come from it.
Forget actual chemistry, or the fact that she cherishes his mother more than her own; centuries of tradition say that Hassan will grow up, marry the girl his parents pick, and forget his best friend: the dancer with the bursting smile. Except he can't. In a world erupting with possibilities for the boy with a body of steel and dreams of the NFL, everything seems promised while nothing at all is; when he's denied the girl he wants most.
Two hearts. Two families devoted through generations of friendship. Could Edy and Hassan really risk all that? And yet... how could they not?

Critic reviews
"All around a great read." ( USA Today)
"Heartwarming, exciting, intimate, beautiful." (The YA Lit Chick)
"A vortex of colliding emotions and raw beauty." (The Kindle Book Review)
That said, Natalie Neckyfarow's narration gives gives Love Edy a definite lift. For one thing, she absolutely nails the atmosphere of high school - gossipy, cliquey and viciously catty. As she narrated, I could see not just the girls, but the boys as well, reminding the older listener how insecure, funny and throughly horrible teenagers can be. Speaking of which it's hardly surprising that Edy prefers Rani (Hassan's mother) to her own. . On the page, Rebecca Phelps is frightening enough, but when she's voiced, she's a monster of clever manipulation and downright nastiness. She's also a gifted, brilliant, beautiful trailblazer for African-American women everywhere - how can a teenage girl face down someone like that? The audio format allows her to be all those things and quite funny as well; a houseful of teenage boys in the middle of the night does nothing to faze her.
Shewanda Pugh provides enough of a cliff-hanger at the end to make me want to find out what happens next, so I might download the second in the series onto my Kindle. And although it's not really my cup of tea, I'll bear Love Edy in mind for the next Romeo and Juliet fan I come across.
Definitely for the younger reader/listener
