Summary: Worth The Wait!!!
Review: This book starts off with an EXPLODING poem! Ms. Morrison touches the soul of women so well. To read Ms. Morrison's writings requires an open mind and a true love of self. The main character Fancy goes through some MAJOR issues, but the tone of the story remains focused and I was able to relate to the message. I have enjoyed ALL of Ms. Morrison's writings (including her workbook) and this book will not disappoint! The poem at the beginning and end of the book demanded that I buy more copies of this book and give it out as gifts!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: OKAY MARY YOU WERE SLIPPIN WITH THIS ONE!
Review: THIS BOOK WAS OK. I DONT REMEMBER MUCH ABOUT THIS BOOK BUT THE CHRACTER NAME SAVOY. I LOVED HER NAME (THIKING ABOUT STEALING IT FOR MY UNBORN CHILD LOL) BUT IF YOU READ THE FIRST TWO AND PLANNING ON READING THE LAST(SOMEBODY GOTTA BE ON TOP) YOU SHOULD READ THIS. ALL OF THE BOOKS I HAVE READ BY MARY SEEM TO GO HAND AND HAND.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THIS BOOK WAS OFF THE HOOK!!!!!!
Review: This book was so good and so well written far as the plots and just everything was so intense i found myself at times responding and talking out loud. I can not wait to get the next one, "Somebodys Gotta be on Top". This book never left me bored or had a dry spot it was just the bomb, i recommend it to everyone who like those really sexy and spicy black love stories.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: PLEASE GO OUT AND GET THE BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: THIS BOOK WAS VERY GOOD. THE PEOPLE IN THE BOOK WAS A JOY BECAUSE IT WAS ABOUT RELATIONSHIP AND HOW WE TREAT OUR MATE. HOW YOUR JUST A FRIEND CAN BE THE MATE FOR YOU AND YOU JUST DONT SEE IT.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: He's just a friend....
Review: This is a definite must read. I couldn't put this book down. It shows you how a woman can have a good man right in thier face but are to blind to see it. Fancy was in search of a man that would be able to "take care of her" which put her into some bad situations. She was so stuck on what a man could do for her that she didn't see that a good man was standing right in front of her. All Desmond wanted was to make Fancy happy and if that meant risking what he had, so be it. The book takes you through the lives of Fancy and Desmond and the people in thier lives. You will not want to put this book down.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: SUPERB
Review: THIS WAS A SUPERB BOOK, MARY DID HER THING. THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN THE SAYING WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND, FANCY REALLY FOUND OUT THE TRUE MEANING OF THAT SAYING .

A MUST READ.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: this women can do know wrong
Review: to be honest thier was a couple of thing's I didn't like about the book like what was up with fancy and her mom? and i didn't really like the ending, but i know this women's history and i have grown to love her unconditionally. I think afther she wrote soul mates dissapate and never agian once more that was i't for me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Appearances are deceiving
Review: Unconditional love, unwavering friendship, self-respect, and reaping what you sow are only a few of the moral lessons swirling around in Mary B. Morrison's HE'S JUST A FRIEND. As Morrison intertwines a myriad of lessons in this swiftly flowing novel, her colorful characters and lively plots entertain and amaze us. Fancy is our main character; however, various other morals sagaciously appear via Fancy's best friends Savoy and Tanya.

From the outside looking in, one sees Fancy Taylor's prowess, arrogance, tenacious weave, expensive attire adorning a tawdry size 7, an opulent apartment, and luxurious transportation. The various male 'friends' in her life each serve a specific purpose-- money. HE'S JUST A FRIEND is a didactic novel that chronicles the extravagant lifestyle of a money chaser. Morrison successfully shows that appearances are deceiving and that everything has a price. Nothing is without toil no matter how easy it appears to the onlookers. As we dissect Fancy's veneer and chip away her armor, what we find beneath elicits both disgust and pity. As Fancy experiences 'what goes around comes around', she realizes that what she's so often overlooked and taken for granted is indeed her biggest blessing. But once you soil and walk on a rug for so long, not even the washing machine can rejuvenate it to its original tenacity.

In HE'S JUST A FRIEND you get an action packed story that also makes you ponder. First the characters capture your attention then the lively story ushers you through the novel. Got a minute? That's all you'll need for HE'S JUST A FRIEND because once you get going with it, you'll keep going until it's complete.

Summary: Needed more depth
Review: Well I won't say this book was a total waste of my time, but it's definitely not one I would recommend to someone else to read. I usually enjoy Mary B. Morrison's books, but this one just left a sour taste in my mouth. The characters weren't developed fully... we never got to understand WHY Fancy was the way she was. The little snippets of information about her past and her mother should've definitely been explored further considering Fancy was the main character and it would've helped us to better understand her make-up. It was too many things that should've been explained in more detail that just kinda left you hanging. Overall.. it was one of my least favorite books that I've read!
