Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Right now I'm supposed to be all geeked up because I'm getting ready for a New Year's Eve party that some guy named Lionel invited me to."
Industry Reviews
"A tough love letter to black males everywhere."
Book Jacket - Charles Johnson
"Terry McMillan's heroines are so well drawn that by the end of the novel, the reader is completely at home with the four of them. They observe men--and contemporary America--with bawdy humor, occasional melancholy and great affection....Reading WAITING TO EXHALE is like being in the company of a great friend. It is thought-provoking, thoroughly entertaining, and very, very comforting."
New York Times Book Review - Susan Isaacs (05/31/1992)
"No doubt when this book is published, the author will hear once again--as Ntozake Shange did for FOR COLORED GIRLS, Alice Walker for THE COLOR PURPLE, and Gloria Naylor for THE WOMEN OF BREWSTER PLACE--the cries that the Black man has been wronged, the Black man has been dogged. I disagree: Terry McMillan has crafted a well-written, truthful, and funny story of four African-American women--four 'sistuhs' who are trying to make it in this world we all live in--and the sometimes volatile world of the Black female-Black male relationships."
Book Jacket - Spike Lee
"She has all the immediacy, wit, and vitality of Spike Lee, but novelist Terry goes one step further: with salty humor and a real affinity for her characters, she captures the urban black woman of the . Uprooted, restless, smart, sexual, flawed, exasperating, cynical, and at times, painfully funny, the protagonists of WAITING TO EXHALE are compelling in their are definite survivors."
