Media reviews

"No doubt when this book is published, the author will hear once again--as Ntozake Shange did for FOR COLORED GIRLS, Alice Walker for THE COLOR PURPLE, and Gloria Naylor for THE WOMEN OF BREWSTER PLACE--the cries that the Black man has been wronged, the Black man has been dogged. I disagree: Terry McMillan has crafted a well-written, truthful, and funny story of four African-American women--four 'sistuhs' who are trying to make it in this world we all live in--and the sometimes volatile world of the Black female-Black male relationships."
