Explanation In Favor Of Books Waiting to Exhale (Waiting To Exhale #1)

That’s What Friends Are For

I originally read WAITING TO EXHALE in the 90s when I was a teenager. A group of us decided to reread the story to see if it would have the same impact on as mature women. I have never reread a book before. I was under the impression that doing so the story wouldn’t be as interesting and predictable. As key parts of the story, the line up from the movie played out, I could actually hear Whitney Houston, Lela Rochon, Loretta Devine and Angela Bassett’s voices.

Savannah has decided it’s time to leave Denver. She’s hoping that even though she’s taking a pay cut, that life in Phoenix will be very different for her, especially in the love department.

Bernadine’s husband, John, has just informed her after eleven years of marriage that he wants a divorce. While she wasn’t happily invested in their marriage, she never expected that he’d bail on her.

Robin has been doing every single thing she could think to find a man to love her. Each man she believes is the one has some sort of affliction or another.

Gloria has spent her entire adult life raising her son, Tarik, and running her beauty salon, the Oasis.

Successful in business, the women are all dealing with issues ranging from weight, caring for their parents, low self-esteem, single parenting, and stupid exes. The friends learn to navigate through it all and support one another.

What I absolutely love about WAITING TO EXHALE is that McMillan allows you to see the women in different stages and witness their growth. While desperation is the obvious fear, they all learn to love themselves, which is a very important lesson for all women.

Write-Up Out Of Books Waiting to Exhale (Waiting To Exhale #1)

Audio # 147Fantastic novel about empowering women who arent perfect but can learn from their mistakes. I loved being given a peek into their minds and listening to them make their decisions. Id probably make the same ones.

This book was okay for me. I enjoy McMillan's style of writing and really wanted to love the characters. I rooted for their stories but struggled to care once I realized that their lives were so focused on men with little resolution, they were desperate and needy and I couldn't identify with any of them. There is just so much more to life than men and it seemed almost that the characters didn't enjoy anything else. I will say I enjoyed the sisterhood but there is so much more for them to

Great quick read!

Not exactly sure why I read this. I suppose it was entertaining enough, but the writing was atrocious. The dialogue seemed wooden and disjointed (not to mention unnecessarily vulgar at times), but maybe since I was born in '86 I can't properly understand the plight of thirty something black women in the early '90s. Either way it was a quick read. I didn't hate it, but I also was disappointed by the lack of resolution at the end. I may have been better off just watching the movie, lol

I really liked it, but the situation with the father was wrapped up and brushed off too quickly.

I read this book in high school and I was disgusted! Then in African American Lit class for my junior year, we watched the movie, and I still hated it!But it wasn't until I went to college that the book and its' leading ladies reverberated with my soul and outlook on men, life, and love!One of my friends, who is Hispanic, said the book was stupid! And I and every other black woman looked at her and said she was crazy as hell! And I vehemently told her she'll NEVER experience what Black women

Wonderful reading - sweet and easy, but leaving a taste of solitude on the tip of your tongue. I found bits of myself here and there in every female character, as I'm sure every woman who reads it does. After all, as different as we are, most of the time it's about the same things: solitude, first moment excitement when you seem to have found The One, disappointment, passion, fireworks, bitterness.... etc.Huge thanks to the author for leaving it without all those cheesy happily ever after
