The Solomon Sisters Wise Up (Red Dress Ink) 30 reviews Melissa Senate
Red Dress Ink, 2003
Chick lit, but the best of the bunch!
+ If you have sisters, this is the book for you. + Of course it will have a perfect ending
Simply put, this is one of the best chick-lit books out there -- fun, sweet, romantic, and suspensful, and with a happy ending, but without being ridiculous or too silly to take seriously or to relate to. And Melissa Senate is one of the best authors that Red Dress Ink has ever published.

Waiting to Exhale 62 reviews Terry McMillan
Pocket, 1995
To Have a Man or Not Have a Man, That Is the Question
+ "4" Stars for a different reason
Because of the subject matter, I thought that this book would be dull. On the outside, it seems to be about "getting a man." But the primary theme of this paperback is the importance of friends. As the four friends struggle in their efforts to find "a good man", they find that their girlfriends ...

The Last Year Of Being Single (Red Dress Ink) 11 reviews Sarah Tucker
Red Dress Ink, 2003
I didn't know I wasn't supposed to read this
I have never knowingly read a "Chick Lit" book before; I am a guy. I picked this book up in my local library unaware that it I was probably not a member of the target audience for this particular genre. I disliked the writing style but I did get caught up in the "story". I liked the way intimate ...

Get Some Love 17 reviews Nina Foxx
Avon A, 2003
Good Read
+ Get Some Lovin'!
I read the book on my way home from a literary retreat. I had relaxed all weekend and shared good times with other readers,and so having this mild story to top off the weekend was a treat. The story flowed well. It was not filled with 'big time' drama. It was a nice 'cute' story, a book I could ...

+ Poignant and laugh out loud funny in the same read
I absolutely loved this book. My sister got it for me for my birthday and it is exactly what I needed. I lived in the City after my divorce and thought I was the only one meeting losers. It was nice to speed read this fun and funny book. Of course, I am at a place where I can now laugh about ...

Lucy's Launderette (Red Dress Ink) 9 reviews Betsy Burke
Red Dress Ink, 2003
Not What I Expected!
I thought this book would be a typical chick-lit type of tale, but I was wrong! Sure, there are the elements for a truly chick-lit story, but it goes beyond that. The main character's family is a little off the beam, as are some of her acquaintances. There is laugh-out-loud fun on several pages, ...

UNPUTDOWNABLE!!!
+ Always True to You
Truly. Certainly not an adjective that you'll find in Webster's, but one that I think most adequately describes this book. I found this to be a wonderfully engaging tale about Randall Hollis and the women who inhabit his world....
Meet Medora. A gifted and talented artist, Medora is beautiful ...

Took a bit took get into it but I love it!
+ Good book + Not Small, The Best Book Ever!
It took me a little while to start to really read 32AA but once I started I couldn't put it down. Emma is a totally identifiable character, I felt for her in the bad situations she was put in. I felt that the author did a fantastic job with the Emma and Adam story-I'm glad she didn't make Emma a ...

The Savvy Sistahs 26 reviews Brenda Jackson
St. Martin's Griffin, 2003
A Savvy Read
+ Just Like The First Time + i loved it!!
I enjoyed all the characters of this novel. Brenda Jackson has done it again. Three friends, three drama filled stories, and three steamy romance. I couldn't put it down. Enjoyed Brandy's story the most, but they were each a good read.
