Everything Must Change

This Time had all the ingredients of a great book! There were believable and recognizable characters, there was drama and laughter, but more importantly there was the evolution of the characters - wow! It's great when a sequel shows that people can grow. I loved the story, I loved the characters, I loved the sequel! I especially loved the way the author introduced all the characters from True Lies. This Time didn't leave you wondering what happened to Rick, Gina or Dajah. A great read that will capture your heart from the first page til you finish the last! Great job Ms. Johnson-Hodge, keep sharing your awesome talent!

great book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

this book was awesome it picks up where it left off. each character grow over time. i think that all baby mamas who are drama should read true lies first, then this book, it is great for a dramafied baby mama. the baby mama really grew up and got her act together and and dajah and rick grew up and got there acts together. this was a very good sequel. i applaud u margaret.

Sometimes it all just comes together...

With 'This Time', Margaret Johnson-Hodge has created a novel that speaks true to life. Every character was pushed to brink and back, ready to move on, give up, give in and everything in between, all culminating in a story that tugs at the heartstrings and would put a smile on even the most skeptical face. I truly enjoyed being re-introduced to some and introduced to others, and though at times I was fed up with the characters and their actions...the book makes you realize that sometimes the very things that pull us down the most can be the very catalyst for the changes that pull us back up to a place beyond what we could have ever dreamt for ourselves. As always, I look forward to the next work from this beautifully spirited author.

If ever you're in my arms again...

Margaret Johnson-Hodge is back with THIS TIME, the sequel to TRUE LIES. Yep. Dajah, Rick, Gina, and more are back for a second go round. I spent a sleepless night devouring TRUE LIES when it first came out so I was very excited to see the continuum of those character's lives. What can I say about this revisitation? Loved it....Powerful, powerful story. THIS TIME is literary gumbo, a rare combination of characters real enough to touch, a storyline with more twists and turns than an Amusement park, and insights on every page about life, love, and the intersection of both. Margaret Johnson-Hodge is at turns poetic, wise, and most importantly, entertaining. THIS TIME is right on time.

Second Time Around

"This Time" is our opportunity to revisit the colorful characters (Dajah, Rick, and Gina) Margaret Johnson-Hodge introduced in "True Lies." As a reader, I immerse myself into the stories I read; I learn to love, hate or tolerate the characters who live out their lives on the pages of my books. I experienced the gamut of feelings for the three main characters in "This Time." I fussed at them, shook my head at their antics, cried with them and thoroughly enjoyed participating in their individual life journeys that continued to bring them face to face with each other and their good or poor life choices. Margaret, I commend you; you are growing as a writer, telling realistic stories about realistic people whom your readers get to know because your characters step out of the pages of your books and into our hearts as they stumble through life, sometimes falling, but somehow finding the will and the way to get up and continue. We don't have to love Dajah or Rick or Gina to know that they are like many of us who don't always make the right decisions. However, we do have to grudgingly admit that we recognize how much they remind us of ourselves.
