Real Sistah Friends...for life

Misty Fine and Reesy Snowden show us what a 23yrs friendship is truly about. Lolita Files takes us through life with Misty in Scenes From A Sistah. Misty is great at managing her career and being in a decision making position. She has what it takes to make it in Corporate America. When it comes to her love life and getting what she wants and needs from a man she falls real short. Reesy, Misty's take no prisoners friend is the exact opposite, she wouldn't know tenor or professional stability if it jumped in her lap, but she has the man sense Misty need to capture the man she wants. These two friends show each other on numerous occassions that no matter what friends are friends. The bond they had for 23yrs shows in their actions. Lolita wrote the heck outta this story and Misty and Reesy made me envious of their friendship and yearn for a sistah friend of my own. If you think you have read a sistah friend book you have not until you read this one...

Like Real Life

I found this book to be very well written. The characters reminded me of myself as well as my close friends. The story line was realistic and well-developed and it's a definite page turner. I highly recommend this book.

This Was A REALLY GOOD Book!

I really, really enjoyed reading Lolita Files's Scenes From A Sistah. This girl can write! This was an excellent first novel, fast-paced and funny. I liked Misty, Reesy kind of got on my nerves, but they are a funny pair. I heard really good things about this book, and all of them were true. It held my attention, and had me cracking up laughing at times. I had to go right out and buy Getting to the Good Part, because I wanted to see what new adventures these ladies got themselves into this time. Files is a great storyteller with a funny, refreshing voice. I highly recommend this book.

Who's Terry McMillan ?

After I read this book, I forgot all about how "Stella" got her groove back! Lolita Files' characters, Misty and Reesy don't "wait to exhale" but draw us into their lives - in full force, with great detail. As a young black woman, I could really identify with this book, especially the 90's dating scene. I wanted a friend from TX to read it so much that I bought if for her, including the sequel "Getting to the Good Part," which I'm reading right now. Now that I've discovered Lolita Files, I don't know who Terry M. is anymore; Lolita Files is 'da bomb !

READING SATIFACTION GUARANTEED

Scenes From A Sistah most definitely ranks up there with the greats. It is a story about a friendship that is everything a friendship should be. We all should be so lucky to find a friend that together we balance each other out. I love Misty's career mind and Reesy's ability to speak what's on her mind. They compliment each other because, one's weakness is the others strong points. This book was so good that I could not put it down. I basically finished reading it in one day. Whenever I'm in the bookstore, I make sure that I recommend it to at least one person before I leave. Even the guys will enjoy this one. So, if you don't already own a copy make sure and obtain one. I guarantee you will enjoy it. Lolita Files is truly a very gifted writer and a very inspiring person. I've had the pleasure of being in her presence on a couple of occasions and if she's anywhere near YOU, make sure you attend and get a chance to hear her read because she brings the characters to life with her voice, expressions, and attitudes so well that if you haven't read it you will and if you have, you'll read it again. She is most definitely one to watch. And if you read this Lolita, thanks for being yourself. You have most definitely inspired me. You are definitely a great asset to African American Readers and Inspiring Writers. I, along with many others, look forward to the next book
