Who's Terry McMillan ?,
This review is from: Scenes from a Sistah (Paperback)
After I read this book, I forgot all about how "Stella" got her groove back! Lolita Files' characters, Misty and Reesy don't "wait to exhale" but draw us into their lives - in full force, with great detail. As a young black woman, I could really identify with this book, especially the 90's dating scene. I wanted a friend from TX to read it so much that I bought if for her, including the sequel "Getting to the Good Part," which I'm reading right now. Now that I've discovered Lolita Files, I don't know who Terry M. is anymore; Lolita Files is 'da bomb !

Finally a novel of TRUE SISTAHSHIP,
By A Customer
This review is from: Scenes from a Sistah (Paperback)
"Scenes from a Sistah" is something that is known tobe fiction but in return it's nonfiction. In other words, this novelis true & demostrates everything that actually happens in a "Sistah's" life. Reesy is someone I believe we all know, if it's not ourselves. I loved her, she was full of SPUNK!! Now, Misty (career wise) is where I would love to be. But the sista was totally clueless when it came to men. She reminds me of the saying, " She got book sense, but no common sense". Now, that was MISTY!!! But over all I admired the friendship... the bonding between two sistahs!! This relationship really exist, it's true to the heart. Great Novel... a must read!!!

Real Sistah Friends...for life,
By
This review is from: Scenes from a Sistah (Paperback)
Misty Fine and Reesy Snowden show us what a 23yrs friendship is truly about. Lolita Files takes us through life with Misty in Scenes From A Sistah. Misty is great at managing her career and being in a decision making position. She has what it takes to make it in Corporate America. When it comes to her love life and getting what she wants and needs from a man she falls real short. Reesy, Misty's take no prisoners friend is the exact opposite, she wouldn't know tenor or professional stability if it jumped in her lap, but she has the man sense Misty need to capture the man she wants. These two friends show each other on numerous occassions that no matter what friends are friends. The bond they had for 23yrs shows in their actions. Lolita wrote the heck outta this story and Misty and Reesy made me envious of their friendship and yearn for a sistah friend of my own. If you think you have read a sistah friend book you have not until you read this one...
