We all know these characters and that's what makes it so realistic. Eric must be some brother to be able to jump into the ethnic women's sole -- I mean he hits the attitude, head turning, hand waving and finger snapping girlfriend every time. I loved this book and got totally involved with every character. This is a must read! I also just finished his latest book Friends and Lovers and Chiquita makes a cameo appearance again. You'll love the new book as well, perhaps even more. I love to read and many books were beginning to read the same, however, Eric holds his own -- he is definitely someone to keep watching for.

I found this book quite enjoyable but not quite as gripping as I would have liked. The girls reactions to situations were not always idealistic but more realistic. Very funny in parts however felt the story fell abit flat at the end. However a book worth reading

Trite, condescending, and less than zero
This book is like the literary equivalent of a photographic negative. Its depiction of Black women is shallow to the point of cruelty. Read more
