Liar's Game, by Eric Jerome Dickey.

I have a little trove of books published in the 90s and early 2000s (Waiting to Exhale, How Stella Got Her Groove Back, I Wish I Had a Red Dress [FAVE], etc.) that I keep and read for nostalgia purposes. It’s also fun to see how language and composition both evolve. All this to say I enjoyed this book less because of what was in it than because of what it represented for me.
