Getting Even

OMG

This book was amazing!! I could not put it down!!

A reviewer

This book took way too long to reach a climax. When it did, it was a huge dissapointment and the ending was way too short and simple. The only reason I finished the book was because I paid for it.

Fun reading

Fast-moving story about three thirtyish women, girlfriends since college, and their problems with men. They're all mistreated, and they all get their revenge. A well-written, well-plotted story. The only thing I thought silly was that Annelise, who unlike Claudia and Lishelle is white, attended historically black Spelman College. No explanation was given for this, and it seems unlikely to me that a white girl would choose this college. Their friendship easily (and much more believably!) could have formed at Emory or one of the state universities. Aside from this implausible part of the friends' history, this was a rollicking good read. I recommend it.

Entertaining & Exciting

Good story telling. Some spicy sections in the story that adds to the character build up of three angry women who had been rejected, mistreated, and used.

fine contemporary tale

Though from different walks of life, the three women (Claudia, Annalise, and Lashelle) met at college and have remained friends over the next decades. As they turn thirty each has male problems feeling as if the respective men in their lives mentally abuse them. --- Lashelle divorced David over two years ago when his girlfriend introduced herself as the mother of his child. Now he wants Lachelle back and is stalking her though she tells him it is over. --- Claudia has been seeing Adam for four years. He owns her heart, but with their nuptials in six weeks, he has major marital doubts. --- Five years married to Charles, photographer Annalise is wondering what happened to their relationship. Increasingly they grow apart and the passion they once shared seems dead. --- Angry with treatment from the men who should treasure them, the trio bond in their need of GETTING EVEN with males that abused their efforts to please them. --- The tale rotates perspective between the three lead females so for much of the novel, the audience actually has a trio of stories until near the end their schemes for vengeance bring the subplots together. This technique makes for fascinating comparisons between how the women cope with male problems, but also never full develops or engages the men. Readers will understand the motives of the women as they on the other hand are three dimensional. Filled with sex and the related ¿vernacular¿, fans of contemporary girl loves boy, boy mistreats girl, girl avenges mistreatment tales will want to read this hot spicy novel. --- Harriet Klausner
