Review title: An enthralling tale of romance and reflection. Product review: The Wedding by Edna West is an enthralling and refreshing tale of romance and self-examination set in 1950's Martha's Vineyard. The story centers around a wealthy Black family preparing for the wedding of their popular and beautiful oldest daughter. As the daughter returns to this insular community with her white intended, she forces her family and friends to examine their individual ideas of race, class, and love. Edna West tells her story with a lyrical zest without waxing too poetic. She builds the tale cleverly with characters who are multi-dimensional and complex. The reader is allowed to meet each as they pause for reflection throughout the book. I thought this book was interesting, thought-provoking and inspiring. It is the subject of our book club's next discussion. Kudos to a Harlem Renaissance alum for her very timely piece. dsherard@aol.com

Review title: A cute read Product review: This manga centres around Karin, a shy, quiet, high school girl who meets the popular, outgoing Kiriya, who goes to a neighbouring high school. The story focuses on the relationship that develops between them.The mood of this series is generally pretty light hearted even though it does have its fair share of drama. From problems faced within their relationship to trouble created by those around them, the series is basically about the couple's relationship and how this evolves over time.On the whole, this is a solid shojo series, well worth picking up. The characters are all really well developed and Karin and Kiriya are both likeable. The story is pretty fast paced and I found myself instantly sucked in by it. It does have its sappy moments, but that's what we all love about shojo manga after all!
