Summary: Hats off to you Ms Rose
Review: This was a wonderful book. Its about time someone explored or ventured out and wrote about us African Amercian lesbians. I was beginning to think we didn't exist.It was very nice to read a book on bi-sexuality and the phobias that surround lesbians and bi womyn. If you are bi or lesbian this is a wonderful book to read. It helps with the questions of "Why do lesbians shun me? And "Why can't bi womyn committ" It touches on some really key and valid points. Now stop reading this and buy the book. I ain't selling mine.....

Summary: Refreshing like Water
Review: This was definitely an exceptional novel. This book was a refreshing change from the usual love, sex, curses/slang, my boyfriend is cheating on me and I ain't right either type of African- American novels that are the majority on the market today. I am a Baltimore resident, which is where the book takes place and the accuracy and detail was amazing and could have only come from another Baltimorian. The multiple plots were very real situations told in such an accurate real way,As a lesbian I appreciated the author shedding light and truth on some very common sterotypes that plague the African-American homosexual community and that she didn't turn the main character's relationship with her female friend into a cheap(this girl is a freak) type of escapade. In the sub plots there was such warmth and realness that it left you concerned without over shadowing the main story line. Overall this was a great book and I applaud the author on her accurate detail to the setting and the situation content, Kudos for Odessa Rose!

Summary: A very enjoyable reading experience
Review: To be honest,when I first saw that one of the categories for this book was gay and lesbian, I started not to read it. My initial response was this was not for me, let me find something else to read. But after reading the reviews for this book, thankfully I decided to pick it up and give it a try. I am truly grateful that I did. First of all, my hat is off to the author Odessa Rose, she did a wonderful job in writing about a subject that most "straight" people would stray away from. She succeeded in writing it so that anyone who enjoys a good story could relate to it. The reader will alternate between hating the main character Tonya and feeling sorry for her. This story is proof that people do not wake up one day a choose this alternative lifestyle, the feelings are either present within the person or they simply aren't. It was also good to have a story told from Baltimore, so it was easy for me to identify with the streets and landmarks that she wrote about. Odessa Rose is a very good author and I am very proud and happy for her. Water in a Broken Glass turns out to be a wonderful, tormenting love story.

Summary: The new Howard Street
Review: Water In A Broken Glass is a really good read.It gives a view of Afro-American Lesbians that is seldom addressed and it doesn't focus on the sexual aspect. It concentrates on the feelings of the people involved, their fears and expectations. Odessa Rose has really done her research and gives a real look into the lives of her characters and Baltimore City. It was great to read book that didn't have unnecessary sex or violence on every other page. I really liked it!

Summary: 3 Cheers
Review: Water In A Broken Glass takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster. Rose makes you literally hate her main character, Tonya, and love the people involved in her life. So the reader reads on in order to root for Malcolm, Satin and Nikki. Brillant!
