I can dig it...

So last night, I finally...FINALLY finished Getting to Happy by Terry McMillian. School work has been slowing down my desert reading. lol...but anyway, I really liked the book. I don't think a sequel to Waiting to Exhale was necessary, but I ain't mad at her. Getting to Happy caught us up on the lives of the four woman Savannah, Gloria, Robin, and Bernadette.....15 years after Waiting to Exhale. I found myself actually giggling out loud during a lot of the book because the conversations were so real. I love how Terry McMillian wrote about how close friends really talk to each other.....the brutal honesty...the jokes that are only funny to friends who really know each other. It was great. While I was reading, the characters actually made me long for a friendship circle like them. I have great friends, but we're spread apart. We don't get to come together and catch up to talk about everything and nothing face to face. It made me think of the girls on Sex & The City. It's just good to have a clique of GOOD friends to hang with sometimes.

Anyhoo...what I really loved about the book is that these women stuck by each other no matter what. No they didn't tell each what they wanted to hear all the time, but they had each other's back....ALWAYS. Their friendship was solid. I liked how they knew each other's problems and pushed each other to be better. I guess the friendship aspect of the book was what I really enjoyed. I feel like it was an easy and quick read...if you have time to sit and read. On a scale of 1-10, I give Getting to Happy an 8. Definite recommendation. :-)

On to the next one...

Moth to a Flame....looks to be the typical "good girl gone bad" and drugs and money type story that my girl Kesha will clown me for reading. :-) Hopefully it will be entertaining.
