The anthology we've all been waiting for....

I really enjoyed reading this anthology about four different women who moved into the same brownstone in Harlem. The characters were great and i liked the way that all of their separate stories connected with each other in some way. It was very creative how they came up with how each character met each other in the book too. I flew right through this book and i would definitely like to read more about those characters if possible. I would love to see a Diamond Playgirls 2 because i enjoyed it that much. this was a book written by some of the top female authors in the book game right now and it was well written!

Valentine's Day 08

After reading this book I truly hope my day doesn't end like some of theirs.

These girls will KEEP you laughing!

I'm not really big on anthologies but since I was familiar with three of the four authors (T. Styles, Daaimah S. Poole, and Miasha)I decided to give this one a try. I'm so glad I did! One of the things that made this anthology so good was the stories were connected. All of the girls move into this one house in Harlem, but they all live on separate floors. Each of the author tells the stories of different characters, and the characters appear in all the stories but in a very minor role. For instance in the Dior story (which was written by Miasha) you see the other characters, but very briefly. Dior is the star of the Dior story. Chloe (written by Deja) is the star of the Chloe story, Tamara (written by Daaimah) is the star of the Tamara story, and Mona Lisa (written by T. Styles) is the star of the Mona Lisa story. It's not until the very end of the book (in a chapter that I guess was written by all four of them) that we see them finally getting together at a club and getting to know each and becoming good friends. All of the stories were well-written and interesting, and I can't say that I have a favorite. All of the main characters are well-developed. And the two sideline characters that appear in all the stories (the landlady and a bum who thinks he's a Romeo) are hilarious! And the way the book ends you know there's going to be a sequel, and I can't wait. It's like reading Sex and the City, and learning how the girls met and became friends. In fact, it would be great if this book was turned into an HBO series! I've already decided this is my favorite anthology ever, and one of the best books I've read in 2007. If this was a movie it would be described as a steamy comedy-drama. I'm recommending it to my bookclub, but we have a Dior, Chloe, Tamara and Mona-Lisa in our group, and I want to see if they recognize themselves!
