Stella goes to Jamaica and meets Winston. Stella is 42. Winston isn't quite 21. Should Stella let herself fall for Winston?

The best part of the book for me was when she first arrives in Jamaica (maybe the second day) and is going through the books she took with her, trying to decide what to read. She comments on all of them -- including Terry McMillan's [i]Waiting to Exhale[/i].

I didn't really find anything to think about.

Read something deeper.

If you're looking for something light, it's a good read.

If you're looking for a more complex story, this book won't satisfy you.

McMillan writes in a very conversational, run-on sentence way. At first this annoyed me, but as I continued to read, I bagan to appreciate it. It drew me in and created the familiarity I needed to finish the book
