Outstanding!!!

Ms. Briscoe has done a wonderful job in "Big Girls Don't Cry". This book will capture your attention, heart and soul. Naomi became my sister instantly as I related to her character. I could not put this book down and as a former television addict, that means alot!

A Must Read For Every Young Woman

Connie Briscoe's BIG GIRLS DON'T CRY is a well-written novel that captures the readers soul. The novel spans the life of Naomi Jefferson, a young girl who lives through some of the most exciting times in our nation's history. She lives through the Civil Rights Movement, the seventies, the birth of the computer age and into our modern times. Along with the killings of several of our nation's best leaders, Naomi's brother, Josh, who had so much going for him, is killed in a tragic car accident---or at least that's what the police report claimed. Evil roots of over-exposure to racism are what motivate Naomi into becoming a successful woman in all aspects. She matures during the computer age and goes against all odds career-wise, romance-wise, family-wise and most importantly she invests in herself and becomes more that she was ever expected to be. Connie Briscoe brings real-world experiences and historical references to this novel and the outcoming result is a shining work of literary greatness!

"Big Girls..." is the BOMB!

From cover to cover , this book was awesome. I could really relate to Naomi, and her struggle to find love -- whether it was with Merlon, Ralph, or that fine, fine, TOO fine Dean! I could also relate to the struggle that she had when choosing between Debbie and Jennifer. I first read this book at a very difficult time in my life, and one thing I got from it if I didn't get anything else -- don't wait for your situation to change, go out there and change it! This is easily one of my top 3 favorites.

I think this is 1 of the greatest book i have ever read.

Very impressed in VA

I'm a young black female who read this book because it was recommended to me. I was drawn into the story because it was very believable and I could relate to Naomi. I was very glad that I took my teacher's advice and read Big Girls Don't Cry. This is a well-written book that won't leave the reader hanging at the end.
