Interesting follow-up to the fabulous book Waiting to Exhale. This book continues the story of four African American, female friends who have bonded over love, loss, divorce and the single life. Set in Arizona, the book starts off roughly fifteen years after we last saw the characters. Savannah is now married but has found her husband has a porn addiction that leads her to file for divorce. Gloria, who found happiness with her neighbor Marvin, finds her life rocked by a tragedy. Robin, now a mother of a fifteen year old daughter Sparrow, is attempting to find a life partner now that her daughter is almost grown. Bernice finds herself unlucky in love again after she discovers that her second "husband" already has a wife. Not only has she been betrayed, but she's broke. This was a decent follow up to the first book. There was a lot of humor in the book and I found that the writer included certain aspects of her own life into the book. I enjoyed the read. I read that the film rights to this book have already been purchased so we can expect to see the actresses from the first film reprising their roles.
