- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Everyone is sleeping on this gem. It gave me everything I needed. Loveeee Tia Williams.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Here's an enjoyable romp featuring three successful young Black women in NYC and the men who can barely keep up. Bennie is a fashion editor on the rise when she meets Jay and falls in love for the first time. He's smart and is getting noticed for his spoken word performances, but he's had a difficult life and a major tragedy in his background, and their worlds might be too different. They break up, get back together, have fabulous sex, and Bennie gets good advice from her friends. There's a lot of beauty-insider caricatures here of women bosses who are recognizable, and reading this 2004 novel seventeen years later is big nostalgic fun too. There's buckets of humor and wisdom about family, work, and love.Quotes: "Look! Moby's here!" "He looks like a suppository.""I'm going to tell you a secret. White women love to be around exotic women. It makes us feel like we're privy to a secret."

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Super-intelligent and gorgeous, Billie Burke is a workaholic who hasn't taken a break since she set her sights on the top editor position at a premier beauty magazine. So far, her ambition has paid off professionally, but it has also effectively curtailed her personal life. Now that just might change. Falling headfirst into a scandalous and addictive affair with a man named Jay Lane, Billie has no idea that secrets from Jay's past will emerge and threaten their budding relationship.
