Say My Name by
Tricia Best is a love story in which two people are deeply flawed and together
they find healing and a future. Taylor Jenson is reeling from her breakup with
her boyfriend, Ryan. He cheated on her with numerous women including her best
friend. She is also conflicted about her choice of career. She chooses business
to please her father but her real passion is music. She spends the summer
before university with her half-sister, Kimi where she heals from her
heartbreak and tries to find the motivation for her chosen career. There she meets Isaiah Butler, who works at
the local market. Instantly there is a connection with the two but there is
also a barrier. As Taylor tries to understand and come to terms with why her
boyfriend would cheat, Isaiah can’t seem to stay away from Taylor despite not
telling her his deepest, darkest secret. When he finally reveals his secret,
Taylor runs and attends university having no contact with Isaiah for months. When
they see each other again, will the connection still be there? Will they be
able to understand the past pain in each other which effects their present?
Will they be able to help each deal with their personal demons?
The book opens with this dedication “To those who had their
sexuality hijacked and are fighting to get it back.” When I read the description
of this book and this dedication, I wasn’t sure what kind of story it would be. There are so many ways this story could have gone. The story was not what I expected in a good way. By the story’s end, I
understood what Ms. Best meant and applaud her for a great story. Say My Name is filled with drama and
emotional, heart wrenching scenes. The sex scenes with instantly beautiful and,
to me, can only be between two truly in love. I loved the flaws of Taylor and
Isaiah. They were real and dealt with realistically. I love how Ms. Best
presents their demons as never really going away, we just learn how to deal
with them when they chose to rear their ugly heads. I highly recommend Say My Name!
