Summary: Good reading...
Review: After dating Griffen for two months, Sarah discovers she is six weeks pregnant. She immediately comprehends the pros and especially the cons of that situation. While the expectant father's reaction is not the worst it could be, it's not the best either. Then, she finds out her roommate is evicting her in favor of the new husband.Her older sister, Ally, would be helpful, but she has her own problems. After trying for years to get pregnant, she comes home at exactly the time her ovulation predictor says would be good to make a baby, only to find her husband working on the project, with someone else. Little half sister, Zoe, has made her career as a dating advisor, and has now discovered her advice does not work well on herself. She does not know nearly as much about love as she thought she did, as evidenced by being hired to advise a young lady on whether or not her date is a winner, and the date is Zoe's own boyfriend. *** The three sisters all wind up at their father's house, as he and his live in girlfriend prepare to tie the knot. Amid a sea of in laws, out laws and assorted other odd ball moments of life, you will join them in either laughing or crying. Wacky warmth infuses this book with true to life humor. *** Reviewed by Amanda

Summary: very good, could have been a bit better
Review: Ally and Sarah are the two daughters from Bart Solomon's first marriage, which ended when he left them for Zoe's mother. After 25 years, he leaves HER for Giselle, a 25-year-old friend of Zoe's. This is the backdrop of the problems each woman experiences -- 34-year-old lawyer Ally finds her husband cheating on her with her Pilates instructor; 29-year-old Sarah finds herself pregnant by a man she barely knows, and Zoe, who runs a sucessful business as LA's "Dating Diva" finds herself cheated on. With nowhere left to go and their father planning a wedding, all 3 end up at his NYC apartment --- Zoe to find her mother in NYC, who plans to disrupt his wedding to Giselle. While well-written and enterprising, drawing good characters and situations, Senate nonetheless uses pat endings. Disappointing in that light.

Summary: Light reading worth reading!
Review: I am a working mother with little time to read and I live for books like The Solomon Sisters which is a quick read filled with an overabundance of quick wit. In my opinion, Melissa Senate has done it again. Ms. Senate, as she did in See Jane Date, has the ability to add comedy to a situation and yet force her reader to connect with the issue at hand and the chartacters. I can't wait for her next book.

Summary: Memorable second effort from Ms. Senate!
Review: I can see why Red Dress Ink chose Melissa Senate's novel to help launch its imprint. See Jane Date was a cause celebre of the chick-lit imprint phenomenon, and Red Dress Ink went uphill from there. Now Ms. Senate is back with her second effort, The Solomon Sisters Wise Up. I am pleased to announce that there isn't a trace of sophomore slump in this memorable effort. Sisters Sarah, Ally and Zoe are facing the most critical time of their lives. Sarah is pregnant by a man she's dated for two months, Ally has caught her husband cheating, and Zoe hasn't been able to cope with the fact that her father is engaged to her best friend. But the aforementioned dilemmas bring them closer together. Self-discovery and learning experiences are forthcoming... I've summarized this novel in an incomplete manner, for there are more facets to this wonderful story. I've always loved novels about sisters (Rebecca Wells's Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood and Jennifer Weiner's In Her Shoes are two of my favorites), and this one is as funny and poignant as it gets. The humor and poignancy are earnest -- you cannot help but love this novel. RDI has scored big again. I highly recommend this memorable gem.

Summary: Fun story about sisters
Review: I don't have any sisters, but this book gave me insight into the special relationship sisters have - and the problems that go along with them. Each of the three women were different enough that they were interesting, but alike enough that you could understand where they were coming from. Once again, Melissa Senate did a great job.

Summary: Fun fast read
Review: I fled through this book. Didn't want to put it down and didn't want it to end. It's funny and light - a great combination when you want to relax with a book!

Summary: GREAT!
Review: I gave this book 4 stars only because it isn't a great work of literature. But otherwise, it really is a great book (story) I like the way the author writes. The story is good, and the characters are believeable. They are people we could know. I liked it being set in Manhattan, because I'm from there, and it brings me back, which feels great. Manhattan is great! You should read it, you'll like it a lot. Being about 3 sisters is great too. You want to see them succeed and find love etc.......Well, I'm on to read: "See Jane Date" which is Senate's first book. Hope it's just as good.

Summary: If you like fairy tales...
Review: I kind of liked the idea of three sisters in crisis living together again at their absent dad's place. I liked the characters and the way they differently related to the issues in their lives. That is, the first half of the book is very entertaining. But then, everything falls into place like a fairy godmother with a magic wand has come through, and the second half is unlikely, with a sickeningly happy happy ending.
And PLEASE hire better proofreaders: too many typos for a published book.
