"Humorous somewhat biting"
Maggie, Tiffany, and Chantal have been friends for a long
time going back to pre elementary school. While the
flirtatious Tiffany and Chantal have been dude magnets
able to get males to do their bidding since first grade,
Maggie has always been reticent and in awe of the dynamic
duo. Tiffany and Chantal remain successful, obtaining
fabulous jobs and homes as everyone considers the two
women as Divas. Maggie envies them but loves her pals. When Tiffany and
Chantal go on an extended vacation, she agrees to watch
their expensive New York apartments. Soon Maggie begins
emulating her friends and though still overweight with
glasses, hunks take notice of her for the first time. She
learns that Tiffany and Chantal belong to the exclusive
women only Divas, Inc., club for females who demand the
best. However, as she begins obtaining multiple
boyfriends and behaving like a Diva, Maggie worries that
at midnight Cinderella will only have a mouse to show for
her efforts. This is an amusing contemporary tale that gently winks at
some of society's "Ivana" like assumptions. Maggie is a
delightful protagonist as she gradually turns from
bookworm to diva. Fans will notice that this tale lacks
Donna Hill's normal deep drama but readers who enjoy an
urban Cinderella like frolic will appreciate the humorous
somewhat biting DIVAS, INC. Harriet Klausner
