Summary: FUN, LIGHT READ!!
Review: In this small-town-Black-girl-moves-to-NYC-and-makes-good novel, two strangers meet in the Shark Bar and become instant friends. Certainly reminscent of that HBO series, this novel is fun, light and quick to read. Three stars only, however...the storyline could have gone much further, and I was sometimes confused as to who's "life" I was in. I don't think that would have happened with better character development...and I think that these authors are capable of a much more sophisticated writing style. However, there is no denying the dramatic situations; and the glory of this novel is its "typical" storyline. Show me the woman who cannot relate to some degree, and that has to be the woman who has not "lived" at all....I could recommend this book to any reader who is not opposed to a little fun.

Summary: Cosmos-Good for the Soul
Review: It was a quick easy read, but it was entertaining. It keeps you wanting to know more about the characters and what becomes of their love lives. You also need to be drinking a cosmo while reading because it makes your mouth water. I think it was a wonderful black Sex and the City substitute.

Summary: Nice
Review: It was pretty good for a first novel but there's room for improvement. I like that the characters grow and learn from their mistakes and the female bonding. I like how the women know were they go wrong with the mistakes and try to better themselves. It did seem a bit preachy at times and at the end of the book they didn't tell me anything I didn't already know. Some of those life lessons is just common sense. I would recommend this novel to younger girls as oppose to grown women though. I thought that Lindsay's 2 girlfriends were very superficial and immature for their ages and I'm glad that she distanced herself from them and found a true friendship from Charlie. Charlie learned how to bond with a female, Lindsay. Nice try and you can at least give Cosmopolitan Girls a chance.

Summary: Cosmopolitan Girls: Sex, the City and African American Women
Review: This book has gotten a lot of mixed reviews, but I REALLY enjoyed it. It is truly a story that is meant to uplift and remind us women that we are worth so much more than most of us give ourselves credit.
"Cosmopolitan Girls", is pretty much the diaries of Lindsay and Charlie. Two small-town girls living successfully in the Big Apple. Lindsay is a Television Exec who has dreams of becoming a Producer. She is dating an accomplished video director who she thinks is "the one". Charlie on the other hand is living with her fiance and his two kids from a previous relationship.
A broken heart and unfaithfulness brings these two women together one day at a club. Both of them think that the other one has it good, but they are so much more alike than they think.
Together the two build an unyielding friendship and help each other out in ways that real friends should.
I didn't expect to get all that I did out of "Cosmopolitan Girls". So many lessons can be learned. It is more than just a fiction novel. This is a book that will make you feel proud to be a woman.

Summary: Black in the City
Review: This book was a great book. It really is the Sex in the City for black successful women. I love the way this book shows how good girls can flip the switch with their hearts in hand. Everyone should read this book and appreciate how truly hard it can be to find Mr. Right when you're attracted to Mr. Wrong. This is the one's "Steps (By Dru Hill)," translated! Share this book with all your girlfriends, and this would make a great TV series!

Summary: Cosmopolitan, please¿
Review: What do you do when you think you have everything and realize you have nothing? Lindsay and Charlie find out the hard way when they experience life and drama in all its fullness. Lindsay, an executive and workaholic, can't seem to tell her boss no. In addition, she's living life in the fast lane, through endless parties and reckless sexual exploits. Just when she thinks she finds her Prince Charming, the entire situation blows out of control. Charlie, a writer who dreams of having a best-selling screenplay is busy preparing for her upcoming nuptials to Mr. Right - or so she thinks. Family life is important to her, and she embraces this man and his children with open arms, welcoming everything, including heartache. When the two women encounter a chance meeting at a bar while nursing their wounds, they forge a bond of friendship that eventually helps them both get on their feet and find what they are looking for: confidence within themselves. Although the story does start off very busy and somewhat confusing, COSMOPOLITAN GIRLS is guaranteed to have you reaching for your best friend or confidante, remembering the good times and how one realizes what eventually matters most.
