Summary: More than just hair
Review: The author is smart. If you name a book, "Nappily Ever After" you're gonna trick hair conscious women (which is practically every woman) into reading your novel. But is it really about hair? The basis is about hair but the message the author is trying to convey is about finding who you are and being comfortable with that. The author is a very good writer and storyteller. She took a very basic idea and made it into a very entertaining story with a lesson. A lot of people can't do that very well. It's just a simple lesson that most women can relate too. Nothing deep or philosophical (we have Octavia Butler for that) but a lesson about being comfortable with who you are. I give it 4 stars: It's a nice story.... good airplane read, poolside read, whatever. I just don't care for the characters that much. Kandi and Clint are really mean.

Summary: Love and Hair
Review: While the author does a good job of illustrating the personal "good hair vs. bad hair" trauma of black girls everywhere (myself included), too much of this novel is bogged down in romance novel cliches to make the overall plot resonate.
