Publishers Weekly

McMillan's zesty novel tells the stories of four 30ish black women bound together by warm, supportive friendship and by their dwindling hopes of finding Mr. Right. Pocket paid a whopping $2.64 million for Exhale , which was a 29-week PW bestseller in hardcover.

Terry McMillan has been making waves in publishing since she steamrolled her way to the bestseller lists in the '90s and gained even wider audiences as film versions of Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back hit theaters. Like no one else, McMillan conveyed the complexities of being a single, upwardly mobile black professional woman -- and a whole group of underserved readers validated her efforts.
