4.0 out of 5 stars Review from Sistahs On The Shelf, August 5, 2005

This review is from: Changes (Paperback)

CHANGES is the revolving story of 20-somethings Lelani, Jasmine and Moe, players in the game of love--all at different skill levels.
Lelani is the rookie, a mere virgin to both love and sex. Best friend Jasmine has had her share of rocky relationships, including a strained one with her baby's father. And Moe is the stud extraordinaire, who's had more women than she can count (or keep up with). These unique women are looking for different things from love--until their paths cross in several different and dramatic ways.
Jasmine, who says she's bisexual, begins a sensuous flirtation with Moe, who regularly visits Jasmine's self-owned salon to deliver FedEx packages or to get her hair hooked up. They have a great first date, and although Moe believes Jasmine could be "the one" to make her give up the game, Moe still can't let go of her wicked ways.
Meanwhile, Lelani is looking for "the one" herself. She thinks she may have found it in L.D., Moe's best friend. The pair meet one day when Lelani is distraught and strike up a quick friendship that gradually turns into something more. But all the romantic dinners and picnics in the park dissolve after Lelani asks to meet her mother; L. D. simply can't take it there because of the ex who still has a piece of her heart.
This is when the drama erupts. There's a lot of back and forth, but the story ends happily, with everyone gettng their relationships intact, even playa-playa Moe.
S. D. Lewis created a credible plot that keeps you riveted. She manages to give each woman a distinctive voice, as each woman has her own story to tell and changes to make.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not Typical, But Enjoyable, March 10, 2005

This review is from: Changes (Paperback)

I'm in the minority by giving this book 3 stars instead of 5 like everyone else. This was a good story, but parts of the book seemed like a broken record (i.e., "they just did that"). The characters, although misunderstood by everyone around them, are likable and smart. However, they are mostly untrusting and cannot make committments (to themselves or to others). The book's format keeps the reader interested, but the overall story is depressing. Except for the excessive slang, the language is moderate and the sex is relatively non-descript.

To get the most from this story the reader should be melancholy, as it will likely bring down a good mood and reinforce a poor mood.
