Review: Across The Tracks

Across The Tracks by Xyla Turner
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Interracial Romance A to Z Challenge: A

An expository essay about race in an interracial relationship with sex thrown in.

I have to admit that I was pleasantly surprised to see that, while Rich was prejudiced, he wasn't necessarily a neo-nazi who decided that, "Oh, black people are okay because I want to bang this black woman." I probably would have tossed the book because I loathe that subgenre. A lot. I find it extremely insulting. And another point of enjoyment was the subject matter because it is a topic that I enjoy seeing explored.

That doesn't mean that I liked the book though. All of the characters, including the mains, were annoying assholes. And expository writing is my second least favorite writing prose when it comes to fiction. It's boring. I didn't like Show & Tell as a child, I definitely don't want it in a romance novel.
