Skyy

Skyy’s myriad of characters provides readers with yet another enlightening glimpse into the lives of lesbians from all walks of life. Choices gives readers flavor and plenty of options when it comes to identifying with its characters. This fresh voice will entertain readers for years to come. –Laurinda D. Brown, Author of Walk Like A Man, 2006 Lambda Literary Award Winner

From the first few paragraphs of Choices you become so attached to the characters and storyline that you can’t put your eyes to rest, not even to blink. The ever charming and handsome stud Cooley captivates you with her cocky attitude and at times, chauvinistic opinion towards women. She states to her best friend Denise, (the more focused and seemingly sensitive of the two), ”There’s always time to chase tail.” Denise, however, is the exact opposite. Playing basketball and focusing on her studies are most important to her and after experiencing a bad break up, chooses to lead the safe, single life. That is, until the gorgeous but very straight ”silver dollar” Lena captivates her attention and possibly changes her thoughts on dating and love again… –The MYNE Spotlight, pmyner.com

A Great First Novel Review by Kathy Belge lesbianlife.about.com 25-year old author Skyy’s debut novel Choices tells the story of four students at historically Black Freedom University. With lots of lesbian drama, this sexy tale weaves together the lives of three out lesbians and their new friend, who never questioned her sexuality, until now. Choices – An Entertaining Read Denise and Cooley are best friends, two studs with very different personalities. Cooley is a ladies-woman, sexing anyone who opens her legs without regard to their sexual orientation or their attachment to her. Denise is the star of the women’s basketball team and she hasn’t had a date in a year, still reeling from the woman who broke her heart. They’re joined by their friend Carmen, who although has lost a lot of weight, still suffers from low self-esteem and Denise’s new roommate Lena, the sexy girlfriend of the star of the men’s basketball team. For the first time in a while, Denise’s interest if piqued. But it turns out her new roommate and love interest is straight. Or is she? A Look into the World of Young Black Lesbians Author Skyy admits she hopes her writing will shed a positive light on the Black lesbian community. So far, she has done just that. Skyy is one of the first writers I have read to so richly describe the stud/femme relationship in the Black lesbian community. But her story is universal. Full of the self-discovery of youth, the loves and lusts of the college years and the prejudices gay college students face on a daily basis. Lesbian Sex, Lesbian Drama, Lesbian Life – It’s all Here First time author Skyy has a great gift for dialogue. Her story moves at a nice clip. There’s plenty of drama. The girls bring that on themselves. And there’s plenty of sex. If only my college years were so action packed! If there’s one criticism I have of Choices, it’s that the characters are a bit stereotypical. Skyy creates a nice outline of each girl, but I’d like to see her go a bit deeper. Her writing has a lot more potential than the lesbian romance genre it finds itself in. A sequel in the works? I hope we hear more from this rising writing star. Choices ends in the perfect place for a sequel. I for one, can’t wait to read Skyy’s next novel. –lesbianlife.about.com –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
