Rating:  Summary: It's about time that someone has.... Review: ...shown that women can be as bad as men. The main characters in the book make some major, and sometimes silly mistakes. The men in the book were cool, but it was the women causing all the drama. This book was unique in that aspect. We women do have lots of issues, and can't blame men for our problems. The book had me laughing on the train, bus, etc. I felt like I was reading someone's diary...except in my diary I don't even get that detailed....This is top on my Christmas gift list.
Rating:  Summary: A man's view Review: A woman wrote this book! HA HA! It showed women making bad choices that put them in bad situations. Not all, but some. I'm glad somebody is not trying to make women victims anymore. Most books, show you good women, who HAPPENED to let a man in, and HAPPENED to get done wrong. They don't really show her responsibility. I learned a lot. Next, the sex scenes were right for a man to read! No long romantic babble, but down to earth stuff, just like sex really is...raw and uncensored.You go girl!
Rating:  Summary: GREAT SISTA STORY! Review: As a black single woman the book Sex and the single sister defined some of the issues that I went through with men.Each story was quick and to the point.There was no dead dialogues or boring characters. Any woman thats African American and single should buy his book because not only is it enjoyable;but it displays the truth of the single life for most sistas. I will wait for the sequel. GREAT BOOK!
Rating:  Summary: Better luck next time Review: At the risk of incurring the wrath of reading sisters everywhere, I have to say that I was disappointed with this book. The characters were poorly fleshed out, the storylines weak and the resolutions rushed and unsatisfying. The characters lacked inviduality and there was nothing in any of the stories except really descriptive sex scenes to hold a reader's attention. In additon, the conclusions for all of the five stories are slapped together at the end of the book like an afterthought. The author does have potential (that is most clearly illustrated in the sex scenes) but she must really learn to develop both the characters and the plots of her stories .
Rating:  Summary: Sex.....and I can say I am one of the single sisters. Review: Even though I am divorced and now back on the dating scene, I can seriously relate to this book and not at all happy to be back in the dating game and this book just depressed me. Not to say that the book wasn't good (it was great), it just showed me what I will continue to look forward to. This book was about 5 women all in their twenties and their trail and tribulations of the dating game. Some got engaged and some remained single, either by choice or not, but we got to go along on their bumpy ride to their destination. The characters were so vivid, it was like you were having a relationship chat with one of your girlfriends. The author hit it right on time, because that is exactly what all women go through. You see yourself in this book and you have to laugh or maybe cry and just like Erkle say, "Did I do that?"
Rating:  Summary: Loved it! Review: First I would like to start off by congratulating Maryann Reid on an excellent job of networking for her first novel, and she is extremely personable. I was very impressed and thoroughly enjoed this book. I read it in less than 8 hours, and did not want to put it down. From one story to the next it kept me entertained, and in some cases with my mouth dropping to the floor. I was eager to see the outcome of each story, and felt like I was there with the characters. In addition Ms. Reid did a great job of marketing and interconnecting for her book. If you like Eric Jerome Dickey, Virginia DeBerry, Donna Grant, Sharon Mitchell,Sheneska Jackson and Pearl Cleage, you cant pass up this read.
Rating:  Summary: Worth the Buy Review: First off, the sex scenes are hot! I was actually blushing with my married self. The words definitely captured the moment. Now I'm not one to finish every book I pick up, since I have a busy life, but this was a fast read. It flowed nicely too. My favorite part was the Epilogue. That was such a nice touch to see what happens to the girls a year later. This book is a good example of HOW NOT TO ACT in a relationship. Amen!
Rating:  Summary: Great! Review: Funny, humorous and I could not put it down. I finished it in 2 days and made the time on the treadmill go by in a flash! I definitely related to the girls in the book, especially Alaya.
Rating:  Summary: A good, quick and easy read Review: Here's a peek into the lives of 5 single women. Just a little peek at what some young women will do all in the name of having a significant other. These professional young women in this novel are looking for the one thing that most single women want, committment and good sex. However, these women in this book seem to find love in the wrong place, at the wrong time, with the wrong men. From the 24 year old New Yorker, Farah, to the 30 year old Floridian Kenya. to the 25 year old Georgian Alexis to the 23 year old Chicagoan Waceera to the 26 year old San Francisco native Alya. The have simillar desires and that is to meet MR Right. The stories were quick, the sex scenes very well described and the book quick and easy to read. This one is good summer time reading.
Rating:  Summary: A black man's Point of view Review: I agree with most of the other reviews, this book was so so. I would also agree that the characters came across as over sexed and in my books none of them deserves dates let alone "husband material". The characters came across as wishy washy with no real depth at all. Successful young woman compromising their integrity to get a man, little wonder they are still single.
