Rating:  Summary: A Fun Read Review: A cute tale of two inseperable "sistahs" trying to carve their way into the corporate world (and exotic dancing) all the while searching for "Mr. Good Bar."Though typical Terry McMillan-esque storyline, Ms. Files writes with ease, keeping the readers interested with her "sista-girl" dialogue and comical events. It will definitely keep you giggling and turning pages.
Rating:  Summary: Witty, delightful and poignant tale of two women of the '90s Review: An excellent first novel, "Scenes from a Sistah" is a delightfully witty, yet poignant journey into the lives of two best friends, Misty and Reesy. Not only does the book explore their relationship as African-American women, but also delves into their relationships with men, parents and their careers. This is her first novel, but Files writes with an ease rare in today's novelists. Her style is sometimes funny, sometimes touching, always realistic. From Fort Lauderdale to Atlanta to New York, "Scenes from a Sistah" will hold your attention, tickle your funny bone and prompt some thinking about your own career, personal and romantic choices. From young sisters to mothers and grandmothers, this is a must-read
Rating:  Summary: Same old stuff Review: Haven't I read this book, like, 50 times already? Upwardly mobile Black women with the looks, wit and material goods that any woman would kill for, living in relatively lavish conditions, working jobs that pay ludicrous amounts, but can't quite figure out the whole relationship thing, no? The only thing differentiating this from the other three hundred Black books on the market now just like it is that she opted to only use 2 women instead of the (stereo)typical 4. When I want to read Terri McMillan, I'll pick up "Waiting to Exhale". When I want to read a bad take on Terri McMillan, I'll read "A Day Late.." When one of the rave reviews for your book is from a strong safety for the Miami Dolphins...
Rating:  Summary: VERY ENTERTAINING AND FUNNY! Review: I have to say, that even though this book has been out for awhile, I just finished reading it. It was very fast pased and funny! The scenes and drama that unfolds reminds me of me and my best friend and the stuff we did back in the day.. I'm glad Misty finally realized what a loser Stefan was. I did not like his character at all. He has some major issues he needs to deal with,and I would like to see more on him and his "issues" in another novel of his own. The suckling scene was hilarious...I could not stop laughing. If that would have happened to me, he would have had to go that night! Let's not even talk about Roman and his trifling self! I hope he gets what he desrves too! Very Entertaining and hilarious..would recommend it to anyone who enjoys good dialogue and a good sista girl laugh.

Rating:  Summary: Raunchy, Back-atcha entertainment! Review: I loved Ms. Files' sistah-like style. Until I read it year before last, I didn't know her style of writing was even in print! The story was a fast, entertaining, and enjoyable read for sheer entertainment. The sequel "Gettin' to the..." was even better! Funny and raw, it was all right with me! Ms. Files is favorite of mine and a definitely recommended writer in my book!
Rating:  Summary: A Must Read Review: I loved your books,they discribed my friend and I to a "t". My friend doesn't read and she is the one who told me about your books. I knew I had to read them. since it hailed her interest. The reason why I'm writing is because, you ended the book with ressy riding off in the sunset with her honey. She also thinks she's having a baby,now who's is it,the white man or the black man. Lolita, I'm in suspense.

Rating:  Summary: Non-stop drama! Review: Misty "Miss Divine" Fine and Teresa "Reesy" Snowden are childhood sisterfriends who mature into beautiful women. They will amaze and amuse you as you travel through the scenes of their lives. You will want to holler, "cut", so that you can exhale and recover from laughing at the previous scene. While Reesy keeps you laughing and agreeing, "yeah girl", her friend, Misty, will evoke your sympathy and anger sometimes. Nevertheless, their friendship sustains each scene and will make you miss "your girl". Reesy is a racy and loyal friend... always there regardless of men that come:-) between her and Miss Divine. Reesy shares her practical (yet sometimes hardcore) advice with hopes of protecting Misty from heartache. Even when Misty listens but follows her heart, Reesy always comes in to help her pick up the pieces and move on. It's also fun how Reesy moves on with her. The novel portrays true friendship at its finest - in good times and bad. "A friend loves at all times." (Proverbs 17:17) I'm also reading the sequel, "Getting to the Good Part" which is narrated by Reesy. The riotous laughs continue!
Rating:  Summary: Millecent got what she deserved!!! Review: Oh my God, this book was soooo good! I never got around to reading it when it first came out, but I am so glad I finally did! This book kept me laughing and Reesy reminded me of my best friend with her in-you-face and blunt conversation! I HIGHLY recommend this one if you haven't read it! I luv'd it! After page 141 I was ripping the pages up to get to the end! This one is definitely a five star novel!
