by E dwardo J ackson
V illard ; 2001
In this funny and heartwarming
debut, newcom er Edwardo Jack-
son gives us a fresh new take on the
male broken he;irt in "Ever After.”
N ick and Jasm ine are young
and in love - tru ly . madly, deeply.
A fter tw o years o f dating, Nick
asks Jasmine to marry him, but she
d e c lin e s . H e a rtb ro k e n , N ic k
m oves to a new city to start over.
A s N ick w inds his way through
the various w om en C hicago has
to offer, he becom es more and
m ore disenchanted with his love
life. A long the way, he tests many
o f his cardinal rules o f dating,
often with tragicom ic results.
Jackson has a great ear for dia
logue and a knack for truthful,
uncom prom ising storytelling. So,
be ready to laugh out loud as you
follow N ick ’s rom antic m isfor
tunes and m ishaps.
