Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Unforgettable anthology of African-American love in the 90s.
Review: Unconventional as it sounds, Rosies Curl and Weave is an African-American anthology of love in the 90s. Written by award-winning authors Rochelle Alers, Donna Hill, Felicia Mason and Francis Ray, each tale has as its nucleus a Harlem beauty salon. Unforgettable characters include 57-year-olds Elaine and Louis, who find love again after being widowed; and self-centered Chauncie, a 30-year-old aspiring actress who drops her high-and-mighty persona after losing her heart to Drew, a blue-collar contractor also in his 30s.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Every story is a small, perfect jewel.
Review: Was it Donna Summers who had the 70's hit "Love to Love You, Baby"? If it was, then I have to borrow her words. On any given day, I enjoy each of these writers on her (multiple) merits. Reading this book not only makes you smile and sigh, it gives you other reasons to love these writers. These girls got skills!

"Rosie's" not only gives you insight into the 'girltalk' that salons are so famous for, it gives us a lot of 'womanthink'. It's a fun read and well worth keeping. I repeat, "These girls got skills!" and it shows on every page.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Top of the line!!
Review: When I first saw the book on the net, I had it ordered, and I wasn't disappointed to get it or by the stories in there. My favorite one was when the woman who was a so called "plain Jane" transformed herself into a beautiful woman. maybe because i can truly relate to it..
