This was an entertaining book and you don't have to share political views with the Bush family to enjoy it. I especially liked the insightful stories from behind-the-scenes at the White House such as how the First Family can sneak behind a screen to move around at the White House without visitors or tourists seeing them or how the First Lady has to pick out a dress for an event and not forget and wear it to the same event next year. Laura Bush's perspective about 9/11 was emotional. Overall, I thought the book was well written and a good read.

Was a very favorite, lost some of its sheen on re-reads.

Such a fun read. I liked Celia as a character. She really grows from a passive (if sarcastic) yawning acceptance of being kidnapped in the first few pages, to a strong woman who's willing to risk herself to find out the truth. I also loved how the romance in the story came out.

She is a genius. I want to meet the characters she writes about.
Have I told you guys how much I LOVED This book? I probably have. The situations this woman puts herself in are ridiculous, but man does she live an exciting life. If you are like me who longs to be in the middle of the action in terms of world affairs this is a good book to read.
Mmm, great for a light read. The first half of the book was good, but then it got a little ridiculous when Tara actually believes in what Pearl told her. Then it didn't seem believable from then on. What I liked was the idea of a Vampire Family. They seem so mafia-like. I like Mother the best. She just seems to epitomize the whole vampire-is-an-unfeeling-undead thing. Other than that, I would most probably read it when I need to fill the time.

I loved it but don't read it before you read the series. It will spoil the whole thing.
I love it so far!

This is a book that after I finished it and went to book club and talked about it, I felt like I wanted to read all over again - partly b/c I really liked it and partly b/c it's so detailed and complex that I feel like I'd discover a whole bunch of stuff I missed the first time around. But! No time to reread a big giant book like this again! Suffice to say that it's about a man who is terribly burned in a car accident. While recovering in the burn unit, he is befriended by a mysterious woman named Marianne, who claims to have known him and been his lover in a past life. At first he thinks she's crazy (which, technically - she is), but as they become better friends and she eventually invites him into her home, the narrator, and the reader, begin to wonder what is true and what is not... Great book club book!
No one wants to admit that they know someone just like Natalie, Monica, or Leslie; but look closely and you’ll find these sisters seem awfully familiar. Three women defined and scarred by their childhood experiences. Each of them secretly carries remnants of pain from childhood experiences into adulthood leading to damaging consequences. Secrets, pain, lies, and distorted self-images lurk behind the seemingly sunny lives of each character. Ironically, each of them works in the Social Services arena helping the less fortunate while their own lives seems to unravel like a thread pulled from a cheap sweater. Natalie’s insecurities from unresolved childhood trauma contribute to her affair which jeopardizes her marriage to a wonderful, hard working man. Monica's distorted self-imagine results in her chasing after a man who has proven to be unworthy of her love or devotion. Self-absorbed Leslie finally meets her match and is forced to face a reality that she can’t seem to come to terms with. Sunny Rain has an all too familiar theme with a small twist towards the end. Actually, I was disappointed by the turn of events because I found that Leslie’s character hadn’t evoked enough sympathy from me as the reader in order for me to not see her actions as just another sign of how selfish and self-absorbed she was. There are so many writers with common themes filled with sisters and their usual drama peppered with erotic moments. I really enjoyed Ci Ci Foster’s writing and would love to read more of her work. I’m hoping this author will find her our unique way of storytelling. She has shown that she is capable of creating characters with depth and substance. However, I’ve read so many books similar to this one: black women with issues ranging from being self-centered, to insecure, and unfaithful due to childhood abuse, denial, and secrets etc… The tale always ends with them learning their lesson the hard way. Sure, readers want to be able to relate to the characters in some way, but I believe Ci Ci Foster has what it takes to create a tale weaved with fascinating details that builds suspense and adds a shroud of mystery, which leaves us totally shocked by the twist at the end. I look forward to reading future works from this talented writer. _______ Dianne Rosena Jones is an avid reader, Editor of African-American Literature at BellaOnline: the Voice of Women, Transformational Life Coach, Inspirational Speaker, Co-Host of “Becoming Who I AM” on BlogTalk Radio, Founder of “Transforming Life Institute”, and Author of the award-winning “Tragic Treasures: Discovering Spoils of War in the Midst of Tragedy” voted “BEST INSPIRATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR [2010].”
