Scenes From a Sistah (Paperback)

"Do you now?" I asked sarcastically.

Reesy handed me a book from her shopping bag. "Yep."

I was suddenly filled with affection for her. Even though Reesy was way too frank most times, she always had my best interests at heart.

I focused on the book title: Smart Women, Foolish Choices.

That damn Reesy. She just never, ever quit...
Scenes From a Sistah

With fierce, no-holds-barred insight and exuberant wit, Lolita Files's debut novel marks a fresh, outrageously funny new voice in contemporary fiction. Scenes from a Sistah is the scandalously straight-up, recklessly entertaining novel of two gutsy women whose friendship makes them go for their wildest dreams — and risk them all.

Serious, striving, upwardly mobile executive Misty Fine almost has it together. She manages millions of dollars in real estate and dazzling executive opportunities with knockout savvy-but hasn't quite figured out how to get the real deal from the men in her life. Her lifelong friend Reesy Snowden is brilliant, up-front—and anything but career-minded. To avoid her wealthy parents' overwhelming expectations, Reesy is perfectly happy careening between underwhelming jobs by day — and exotic dancing by night. In a very '90s world where success doesn't always mean security and Mr. Right is otherwise engaged — or worse — Misty and Reesy know they can always count on each other to tell the truth and "manage the damage" as only they can.

Of course, that means negotiating their way through a gallery of unforgettable "chances at romance": charming lawyer Stefan — whose luscious good looks hide plenty of bad news; sexy, mysterious Roman, who is as skilled at disappearing as he is passionate in bed; and the "roughnecks" that Reesy zooms through faster than she juggles jobs.

But when Misty gets the promotion of a lifetime, and hires Reesy hoping to give her some career direction, neither one is ready for the consequences or their hidden conflicts. And each must decide for herself what they value most—even as they redefine their relationship and their lives in ways both unexpected and hilarious.

Fiercely witty and riotously sexy, Scenes from a Sistah dazzles with dead-on insight and outrageous heart. And it introduces us to two feisty, utterly unforgettable women willing to challenge anyone — even each other — to fulfill the best that true friendship can promise...
