Waiting to Exhale (McMillan) - Book Reviews

Book Reviews
[R]acy, zesty, irreverent and absorbing.... McMillan keeps us constantly guessing about which members of her lively quartet will be...rewarded. There's nothing stereotyped in her work here: it is fresh and engaging.
Publishers Weekly

.
[P]redictable plot, prose that often falls flat, and a narrative that lacks depth. [What's] stronger is the author's sharp, often humorous depiction of the strong bonds among the four friends. —Faye A. Chadwell, Univ. of South Carolina Lib., Columbia
Library Journal


[McMillan's] bawdy, vibrant, deliciously readable third novel is the story of four black women friends and their frequently disastrous encounters with black men.... [T]hey are as timeless as Molly Bloom or the Wife of Bath in their robust sensuality. A novel that...has heart and pizzazz.
