Terry McMillan (11 cents)

Several months ago, I picked up a copy of Terry McMillan's "How Stella Got her Groove Back", with no expectations whatsoever, and I loved it.

So, tonight, I picked up "Waiting to Exhale", with great expectations and, after 75 pages, said "Yuck", and put it away.

How do you explain my strong feelings in opposite directions? Particularly when the reviewers on Amazon.com rate Exhale higher (slightly) than Stella?

Maybe I should try "Disappearing Acts". It gets the best reviews of all.
