It's About Time, June 30, 2004
This review is from: She's Got Issue's (Paperback)
When I first say the title of this book I asked myself what kind of issues she got, she kinda cute: she need mo' money from her baby daddy, her car broke down and she want her baby daddy to pay for it even though he's married now and moved on. I picked it up, put it back, left the mall. Then I turned around, went back to the store, and bought it. That made me late to the Child Support Office and my baby momma was trippin. But whatever. I started it as soon as I hung up on my baby momma and finished it in 4 hours. It's about time, somebody told the story of a simple chick who didn't realize that she had a good man and what would happen when she didn't take care of him. I tried to tell my baby momma the same thing but whatever. Aliette had issues from when she was a young chicken head. Everybody loves a freak, but she was stone cold ho'. It had nothing to do with the fact that she loved sex, she didn't love herself. She took other peoples emotions and toyed with them until she met Sinclair. Sinclair met Aliette one day, played nice, and planed her revenge. Sa-weeeeet! What I got out of this book is this: No matter how well we treat some of our women, SOME of them will never be satisfied!!!! Aliette hit a gold mind with being blessed with Sinclair's friendship. Sinclair stood as a WOMAN, who wasn't ashamed to confront her emotions, against a wanna be woman, who was selfish, self centered and didn't care whose feelings she hurt. And Sinclair STILL had a heart, saw that Aliette had no inner self, and put aside the issue at hand to save another sistah. After she blew her spot up of course. All I'm saying is when is the next one coming out One

Oh Drama, February 5, 2005
This review is from: She's Got Issue's (Paperback)
"Revenge is sweet, but even sweeter when served by the hands of another," is what Sinclair Welch was told by her mother while growing up. After receiving evidence of her husband's indiscretions with not one, but two women, she disregards her mother's words and takes matters into her own hands. As chance would have it, Aliette Pearly walks into Sinclair's life at a vulnerable moment. Sinclair recognizes her as one of the women who ruined her marriage and sets her plan for revenge in motion. Sinclair befriends her with the ulterior motive of ruining her, but with Aliette's destructive behavior and troubled past, she may self-destruct. Stephanie Johnson has penned a drama-filled novel that could put any daytime soap opera to shame. SHE'S GOT ISSUES is a sexually charged, over-the-edge mix of drama and romance, and I could not get enough. There is also an underlying message of forgiveness, which was a key factor in the characters overcoming their issues. There were a few editorial issues, but aside from that I enjoyed the novel and have recommended it to friends and family. Reviewed by Aiesha Flowers of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers

Serious Issues.... You have to read it!, July 22, 2004
This review is from: She's Got Issue's (Paperback)
Whew Lawd is all I can say after reading this book! Talk about issues, this book contains probably the biggest one of all. What would you do ladies, if your man was cheating on you and you happened to come in contact with the woman who ruined your relationship? Would you react immediately or would you bide your time for the right opportunity to react? Meet Sinclair, a woman scorned and Aliette, a woman who has many issues including sleeping with married men. Not what I expected just by glancing at the title, She?s Got Issues is a well-written expos? on the feelings experienced in a relationship where infidelity has occurred. There are mental issues for both women, but that?s expected when dealing with a broken heart. While reading, I went through anger with Sinclair, hurt and pain, and the desire to destroy Aliette?s life in the same manner in which Aliette destroyed hers. That?s keeping it real to me. Sinclair is probably the only true friend Aliette has. Aliette isn?t able to maintain a healthy relationship with anyone, not family, not friends, nor men, so Sinclair is her savior in many respects. Certainly she isn?t able to view this in their relationship, but as the book is so aptly titled, She?s Got Issues. Through the plot twists is an interesting and captivating read. Readers will find themselves wondering what is going to happen next. At every turn of the page, something subtle but necessary to the plot occurs which makes this book hard to put down. Torn between the two characters, the reader becomes intimately involved and to me that is what makes a dynamic story. Dealing with infidelity, and the journey to discover ones true self, this book is power packed. Stephanie Johnson has a book that she can be proud of. Urban Books has a book they can be proud of, Carl Weber-keep doing your thing.
