Midnight and the Meaning of Love, originally known as Midnight 2: Word is Bond, is a novel by Sister Souljah that was published by Atria/Simon & Schuster on April 12, 2011. It was originally scheduled to be published on November 2, 2010, [1] and it continues the story begun in Midnight: A Gangster Love Story .

Midnight travels to Japan in order to reunite with his wife Akemi Nakamura and bring her back to New York. She was taken away from him by her father, Naoko, a very successful businessman and minor celebrity in Japan, who does not approve of their union. [2]

Reception

Bobbi Booker of The Philadelphia Tribune wrote that Souljah "delivers a character that reflects the essence of her name as Midnight is a soldier who refuses to lose." [3] Alesha Williams Boyd of the Daily Record called it a "bloated, dragging 600-page narrative" with "clunky" writing and "conspicuously missing" punctuation. However, she wrote that if "readers can get past its flaws they may find a main storyline and characters than entertain and enlighten enough to keep their interest". [4]
