    About this audiobook

    He was tall, dark as bittersweet chocolate, and impossibly gorgeous, with a woman-melting smile. She was pretty and independent, petite and not too skinny, just his type. Franklin Swift was a sometimes-employed construction worker, and a not-quite-divorced daddy of two. Zora Banks was a teacher, singer, songwriter. They met in a Brooklyn brownstone, and there could be no walking away...

    In this funny, gritty urban love story, Franklin and Zora join the ranks of fiction's most compelling couples, as they move from Scrabble to sex, from layoffs to the limits of faith and trust. Disappearing Acts is about the mystery of desire and the burdens of the past. It's about respect, what it can and can't survive. And it's about the safe and secret places that only love can find.

    • 1/5
      luckily it was only two hours wasted, I thought more was going to happen at the end. Just drama, bad decisions and excuses between a couple.
    • 5/5
      Love the dynamics between Zora and Frankie, how we can assume so much in a relationship
    • 5/5
      One of my all time favorites. I watched the movie 1st before the book. Book gave more depth into each characters thoughts and mind set.
