Summary: Make way for BLING!
Comment: Ms. Kennedy's novel is dishy, intriguing and smart. You do not have to be familiar with the hip-hop scene to be completely engrossed in her story. As a matter of fact, you may even feel a bit "more with it" (am I dating myself?) after reading Bling. Kennedy gives her readers a VIP pass into the racy and melodramatic entertainment world. The character development is suberb and the writing sublime. Bling is this summer's must-have accessory.
Rating: 5
Summary: A Star Is Born
Comment: Ms. Kennedy's debut is destined to be an all time B-Boy (and for sure B-Girl) classic.
Her characters are ON Point and the story is totally sexy and engaging. We can't wait for the MOVIE! and her next book.

Summary: A splash debut
Comment: Lucrative recording contracts, shopping sprees, singing stars, paparazzi, sex, and life lived on the hip-hop edge. This is what you'll find in BLING, the splashy debut by Erica Kennedy. The story centers on Mimi, a twenty-something girl from Ohio who dreams of getting a record contract. She and her singing friends travel to New York to make the dream come true. The road the Mimi travels is one she could never predict and her life changes almost instantly when she hooks up with a hip-hop producer named Lamont.
The book is filled with short chapters and the plot moves at a fast pace. BLING is a likable page-turner. It provides a fascinating glimpse of the recording industry and can provide as a textbook of sorts for those who aspire to become a part of the hip-hop industry. There are tons of characters in this book, and at times the lines are belly-aching funny. There's plenty of fresh and hip characters who all talk the latest lingo, all of which may have you think you're reading from the pages of VIBE. Most of the characters will make you try to guess the real-life counterparts because there are plenty of similarities between BLING's subplots and actual hip-hop celebrities.
The only distractions are the mountains of background information about the minor characters. These narratives somewhat diminish the action and intensity of the story, but nevertheless BLING is an out-the-box hit; it's a recommended read that should appeal to those who love urban fiction, hip-hop music, and rags to riches African-American stories.
