CRITICAL PRAISE FOR THE SOLOMON SISTERS
WISE UP
“Senate scored high with See Jane Date (2001), and she now presents another
winner that will have readers cheering for the warm, witty, and lovable Solomon
sisters as they wise up, find romance, and learn to love each other.”
—Booklist
“An empowering and witty tale of three sisters who learn it’s OK to be exactly
who they are…. Readers will find themselves caring about what happens to each
of these three very different sisters.”
—Romantic Times
CRITICAL PRAISE FOR SEE JANE DATE
“See Jane Date tells the tale of a smart, funny 28-year-old editor at a Manhattan
publishing house who has been trapped in a 2-year date drought. Alas, she must
dig up a presentable boyfriend to accompany her to her cousin’s fancy wedding.
The mad date dash is on.”
—USA TODAY
“…a refreshing change of pace…”
—Publishers Weekly
“Senate’s prose is fresh and lively.”
—Boston Globe
“It’s fun to watch Jane bumble her way through the singles scene and find out
that sometimes people aren’t what they first appear. Senate’s debut is both witty
and snappy.”
—Booklist
“The story unfolds like a brightly wrapped bonbon. It’s tantalizing and tasty…”
—Sacramento Bee
