Summary: This book was terrible.
Review: Terry girl what's up with this book? I really enjoyed all of your other books, especially Waiting to Exhale, but this book was horrible. What is the deal with the intertwinning thoughts? All of Stella's inner thoughts did not need to be written down. The book was confusing and it had no " UMPH" to it. And they are actually going to make a movie from this book. I hope that it's going to be an HBO special or a LIFETIME movie, because if it actually goes to the movie theater people are going to ask for their money back. The only good thing about this book is that Stella was a strong and somewhat independently well-to-do black women with a portfolio. The girl seemed to have bank and she could buy anything she wanted. Terry, I don't mean to diss you because your other books were great, but you could have kept this one.

Summary: maybe the movie will be better
Review: Terri what happened? Disappearing Acts, Mama, and WTE were way better than this. After the first 3 chapters, i had to put it down. I just couldnt get into it. Mama was my all time McMillian favorite. Why not make that one into a movie?

Summary: Unbelievably hilarious! I laughed so much I cried.
Review: I, like others, had to get past the "no commas". My husband found me every night laughing so hard I cried. He thought the book was sad. To the contrary. I felt like I had had too many "island" drinks myself. TERRY, PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE LIKE "STELLA". IT WAS AWESOME!!!! My fav.

Summary: Comment on How Stella Got Her Groove Back
Review: This book was an inspiration to me like all of Terry McMillian's books. I love the way Stella took charge of her life even facing difficult times. I would love to have someone like her as a sister or even a friend.

Summary: Impressive!!!

Summary: Stella gets her groove and then some!!
Review: I don't know where the dislike of this book is coming from. I loved it. It took a while to get around the punctuation, but once done, the rest of the book was a breeze. One suggestion for those who don't like the punct..., stop trying to speed-read it. Place yourself into Stella's mind and listen to what she says. I'm looking forward to a sequel. It would be nice to see what the first year after marriage brings for Stella and Winston... Yea, mon.

Summary: I loved it, mon!
Review: Two African American teenaged students recommended this book. It was obvious the interest it would have for them, and I was amazed at how appealing it was to me (of course, I had just returned from vacation in Jamaica). As a middle-aged anglo woman, I smiled my way through Stella's reflections on life. Surprisingly, her stream of consciousness style was very refreshing. I liked Stella's philosophy of life, and her relationships with her sisters were classic. I enjoyed meeting Winston and admired Stella for the wonderful job she had done bringing up her son. This is a book with so many levels, that a woman should reread it at every passage in her life. It will never gather dust on my shelf. Why not a 10? I don't want Stella to lose everything she's gained in her new sense-of-self to Winston. Hang in there, Stella!

Summary: Shallow.
Review: In one word: Shallow. The book was entirely superficial and the protagonist, Stella Payne, was no where near genuine. From page one, I could not relate to Stella. She is not like the average reader or the average AA single mother. Who exactly was McMillian's audience? Teenage girls? A fine fantasy novel without a message. I could say more, but why? I'm afraid to try reading any other McMillian novels....
