Good Read, August 4, 2004
The story was about four women who worked in the hair salon Dime Piece and they all have the hots for a brother named Ishmael.
The owner, Celeste is involoved with Ishmael's best friend, Rah-lo but when he gets locked up she begins to second guess her relationship Rah-lo. Ishmael secretly likes Celeste but he wants to remain loyal to his best friend.
Charly the drama queen is used to getting what she wants and will not stop until she gets Ishmael to herself.
Nina is tired of seeing everyone's happiness but her own. When Ishmael takes an interest in her, she is ready and eager to give love a chance.
Robin is the baby of the crew and can't see why all the women are in love with Ishmael, that is until she notices him checking her out.
This book was ok, it wasn't great and it wasn't a total waste. It kinda dragged along, I thought it would be the bomb because I read a previous book by the author that I really enjoyed. Better luck next time.

She's got ANOTHER hit!!!, August 19, 2004
Tracy Brown definitely has a bestseller with this book. I liked it MUCH better than "BLACK", which was her 1st Essence bestseller. This work is skillfully written about 4 stylists who work in an upbeat styling salon. While reading this book, I felt as though I was reading the female version of Ice Cube's "Barbershop"...This book is worth the purchase for the wolf tickets alone. That's one way to know you are reading a good book. I howled as I read this book (while on an airflight). I know the other passengers must have thought I lost it; but this book got spontaneous reactions from me while reading. Note: if you want a good read, get this book! There could be a part 2, but I trust that the author will come with something fresh, and leave the sagas alone. Great job, Ms. Brown!

Liked the Book., June 7, 2006
This was a pretty good book. I read the 1st 6 pages thanks to Amazon.com and bought it because of what I read and the explosive beginning. But the book fell down and let me down a little. I'd really like to read about careers that Black women have other than being hair stylists.
