True to self..., December 30, 2005
Asha Mitchell and Saundra Patterson are half sisters, but very different from one another. Asha is high-maintenance and a definite gold-digger who bases the value of a man on the size of his financial status. She hops from man to man, seeking not only the financial perks, but the sexual ones as well. Saundra is an all-natural vegan and Daddy's girl on the verge of marrying her high-school sweetheart.
Though the youngest, Saundra constantly lectures Asha on her lifestyle and how karma will eventually catch up with her. When her own world shatters, and she finds out distrubing information about her father, she completely shuts down. Saundra runs from the two most important men in her life and calls off the wedding. Asha has been bit in the butt by her actions and is reeling from a tragic experience with a man she used and dumped without much thought. These events bring the sisters together and they're both left to rethink their lives and the paths they have taken.
In THE OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME, Anita Dorren Diggs presents a moving story about family and the conditions we sometimes unknowingly place on each other. Her writing style is sort of slow and steady, not that this is necessarily a bad thing, but for those who like fast-paced, from-the-beginning action, you'll want to stick with this one a little longer. While the book didn't immediately grab me, I was slowly drawn into the story as a result of Diggs' ability to create well-drawn characters and an unpredictable plot. The message in The OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME will be appreciated by those who read the book and understand the importance of being true to self as it is the only true path towards happiness.

An Enjoyable Read!, July 26, 2006
The Other Side of the Game was totally enjoyable. Anita Doreen Diggs explores the lives of two half sisters, Asha and Saundra. After their mother passes away, one is raised in a home with a loving and adorning father, with the help of his girlfriend, and the other pretty much had to raise herself.
Over the years the girls remain close, and as young women, they've come to depend on one another to 'keep the other in line'. Their views on life and how it should be lived is like night and day. One is naive and believes all is right with the world, while the other sees the world for what it really is, and will do whatever it takes to get her's.
There is a totally unexpected twist in the story which will totally take you by surprise. Which really goes to show the clever and creative mind of the author.
Although I would have preferred for the chapters to have been a little longer due to the fact I wanted more from each character, I like how the author expertly weaved each character together.
I recommend this book highly! If you don't already have your copy, then you should scroll up to the top of this page and order your copy today.

I saw it coming but still liked it, February 9, 2006
I liked this book. I knew what was going to happen from the first few chapters but I liked it. It was different. The writer did a good job.
Very contemporary :)
