Milk in My Coffee deals with a modern day interracial relationship, the point of view alternating between a black man and white woman. Had the setting not been contemporary, it may have dealt with lynch mobs and featured life and death drama.

Instead it's about trying to make a relationship work, which is difficult enough when skin tones match, extra challenging sometimes when they don't. View 1 comment. Oct 31, Mrs Tupac rated it it was amazing Shelves: cherry-s-favorites. Very enlightening book. The same way Jordan was raised to see white people I was raised the same way. Jordan's POV on things were what made the book interesting the dialogue with his friends were interesting as well.

Soon the two of them become so attached that Jordan friends question if what he has with Kimberly is authentic or a phase. I have read a previous book by this author and did not enjoy it at all. However this one was a decent book that challenged the stereotypes in the urban community.

Also the characters were fresh, it reminded me of modern day people. On the other hand, the story was somewhat inconsistent. I grew tired of the same encounters Kimberly and Jordan had, not to mention the irrelevant details throughout the story.

Dickey's writing is what kept me drawn in - the flow of the words, the slang, and the general descriptions just seemed to be a little bit special. In its essence, it is a romance novel not the type of book I usually gravitate towards! The ending surprised me, so that's always a plus.

Aug 03, Chantell rated it it was ok. I know what the author was trying to do, but I didn't like it. I got the message though. I don't necessarily like the title for the book but I kinda get it. I didn't enjoy his style of writing either, especially when it came to the back story. It took me a while to read because of it. But I did really appreciate the imagery. Can Jordan get his I know what the author was trying to do, but I didn't like it. May 14, Erin rated it really liked it.

It was well executed but changed the tone of the story maybe too far in. So the tone shifted because of that. Kimberley was close with the German ancestry and red hair.

Her experiences could be what my future children? This book is 20 years old and still relevant. Let me start by saying I would recommend this book. I have to say at first when reading it it was a bit slow and it was kind of out of date. We're living in but then I had to remember the book was published in the '90s so I had to take off my glasses and put on my '90 glasses to be able to connect with the setting. After that the story was really good. I enjoyed reading it. I like the characters they were all very defined characters.

I also like the fact that the story was told fr Well. I also like the fact that the story was told from both points of views it was almost like getting a woman's version and a man's version of the same situation.

The idea of black and white interracial couples, I don't think it's prevalent today but we are still living in the age of black and white. I was able to personally connect with a lot of the conflicts that the characters went through. But, those conflicts just weren't so jaw dropping.

That's what lost it for me. Another one Another great read as expected. By now I know there are unexpected twists and turns and I tried to anticipate them in this book and boy my mind was still blown.
