review 1: This book is the sequel to Sinners and Saints. It features Rachel and Jasmine at their worst again. In this book, they start out trying to get on to Oprah and they fail because of their underhandedness. After they fail to get in Oprah, they get embroiled in a murder mystery, and they actually come together to run around Chicago and try to solve the mystery. I am a huge fan of this series, but looking at it critically, I think they could do a better job of character development. I say this because there is a clear delineation about who are the "good" and "bad" characters in the book, but I would love to have the background behind these characters and why they are the way that they are. Or maybe I'm just spoiled by all of the super descriptive books that I've read for this ... moreclass. If I were teaching writing in a class, I might have my students critically examine different types of books to see which ones are the most descriptive.
review 2: FrienemiesRachel Jackson Adams is enjoying the spoils of Lester’s win as the president of the American Baptist Coalition. Now that they’ve reached the national spotlight, the Adams hired a publicist. Before she can luxuriate in her newfound status, Rachel finds out that her number one nemesis, Jasmine Cox Larson Bush, has landed an interview with Oprah.No way, un-un, Rachel is determined to make her presence felt in Chicago. Of course Jasmine is agitated as she learns that her rival is in town looking to try to upstage her, again. Jasmine and Rachel are fussing and fighting. This time around, they find themselves forced in a more troublesome situation.FRIENDS & FOES is the second book where readers get to interact with Rachel and Jasmine in the same setting. The story was beyond belief from start to finish. I don’t know if Billingsley and Murray felt like the excessive drama was required, but personally it was too gimmicky. less
