4.0 out of 5 stars A really good book about average couples, May 8, 2000

This review is from: Intimate Stranger (Paperback)

Laura Dehart Young does a wonderful job of relating to averagecouples. This book is centered around a couple who are havingproblems, but continue to live in the same house in diffrent rooms. One partner is a photographer who, wallowing in her lonliness, quickly falls for the most unlikley person. Cole is torn between risking her partners love or letting her get hurt by this con artist. I could very easily relate to Cole's feelings. Anyone that has ever tried to live under the same roof as friends after being in a relationship can relate to this book. I liked this book a great deal, but I thought it could have been longer and at times it was a little predictable, but overall it made for a very enjoyable evening of reading. This is a book I will continue to read many times in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Trust Everyone, December 16, 2000

By 

Dee Scott (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Intimate Stranger (Paperback)

This book was wild. It was a book about trust and how you could meet someone and think you know them, but you really don't know them at all. The thing I liked about the book is it made total sense and that this could happen to anyone. When Cole meets Tray you think Tray is a nice person but sad and lonely. You feel sorry for Tray until you find out who she really is. Young does a great job of pulling you into the story and then hitting you with the real truth. The characters are great and just like people you might know in your own life. Wow! I hope Young writes a new book soon!

1.0 out of 5 stars Hard to finish, March 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Intimate Stranger (Paperback)

The only reason I managed to finish this book is because I paid 10.00 dollars for it. Tray is deceptive and Cole is too naive and blind apparently. Cole is still living with her exlover who is trying to find herself, yet seeks the comfort of Tray who obviously has problems. Yes I know many wierd things happen in the lives of lesbians, but this was too unrealistic. Not recommended!!!
