3.0 out of 5 stars
Finished it but didn't really feel it..., February 21, 2008
This review is from: Get Money Chicks (Paperback)
... I was going to say that "I really didn't like it" but that wouldn't be entirely true. This did seem like a "beware or this could be you" type story. The 3 women in this book were a little over-the-top for me with thier antics and gold diggin' but I guess that was supposed to be part of the draw for this book.
Anna J. is a very good writer but I didn't feel her on this one. It jumped around a little too much and that, for me, really slows the story down. It did pick up at the end and I can see a sequel on the way. Don't think I'll read it though. She did put a teaser of her next book at the end and I think I will be getting that one. From the few pages that were there it seems that Anna is doing what she does best... sex and drama, drama and sex.
This book should not be the first book for people just reading Anna for the first time. Start out with 'My Woman, His Wife' and you'll see why I have reservations about this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Dolla Bills, Y'all, December 24, 2007
This review is from: Get Money Chicks (Paperback)
In this fast-paced urban adventure, Karen, Mina, and Shanna are strictly about getting money--from drug dealers or any man whom they can lure into the bedroom. All this immoral behavior is done so they can go on shopping sprees and buy fly gear at the local malls. The girls are supposed to be the best of friends yet they are so devious, they have no problem lying, cheating, and creeping with each other's men. All for the love of making fast money.
The girls get in over their head when Mina starts making drug runs and Shanna decides to pay back her dealer boyfriend for cheating on her. But as the song goes, she ain't have to get him back like that. Big trouble ensues. After several murders, friendships are tested and each young woman has to face up to the choices she's made.
Toward the end of the book, Shanna finds herself in a hell of a predicament--she's in bed with a sinister drug dealer and his vicious pit bull. The scene was both scary and hilarious. I was rolling with laughter. I couldn't help it. Anna J. can be funny as hell when she wants to be.
I love Ms. Anna J's writing style. This is a different genre for her and she nailed it. The street jargon she used, is straight southwest Philly. I knew Get Money Chicks was gonna be hittin' for somethin', but I wasn't expecting to get emotionally caught up in the game!
Another big winner, for Anna J.

Mo' money, mo' problems..., September 14, 2007
This review is from: Get Money Chicks (Paperback)
Mina, Shanna, and Karen, three around the way chicks; friends to the end, who are so caught up in fast money, fast living, and toe-curling sex that they are willing to do almost anything to get it, including pushing weight, and sleeping with the other's men.
As the story unfolds, lies, deception and reckless decisions bring about life-altering consequences that affects each friend's life, and their friendship will be tested like never before. Will they continue chasing paper and pipe dreams, or will they learn some very valuable lessons about life, love and friendship? See for yourself.
Anna J has crafted a wonderful, fast-paced novel loaded with drama and steamy sex that will keep her readers hanging on for more!
