Stella, goes on vacation and falls in love. Problem is he is younger than Stella and she just can't get over the fact that she is in love with a younger man. What is interesting is that while men do this all the time, Stella fights her feeling over what is going on. ( )

ok - story line wasn't bad - just that the writing was a bit difficult getting used to ( )

I Really like this book. I enjoyed the Stream of consciousness style of writing that was used, as it really make you feel like you are Stella. You are a beautiful, smart and successful single mother who exudes confidence but rambles insecurities mixed with humor and hype behind your skull.
The relationships between Stella, her son, her sisters and her friends stand out as some of the most realistic relationships I've read. Terry McMillan has a way of making everyone seem so real. As I reflect back on this book I try to think what is it about Winston that makes her fall in love... but I keep hitting the "We talked all night" wall. I can see now that this book was never a romance novel. I mean yes, they meet, have sex, and fall in love like a romance novel; but YOU, the reader, never fall in love with Winston. You, fall in love with Stella. This book is all about Stella. Its about self-love, its about how we self sabotage, its about taking risks and finding your Groove in life. ( )

The book was much better than the movie. ( )

A great romance novel. I prefer this book over the movie that was actually created from this novel. It has drama, romance, and a few parts that were funny. I found myself finding it pretty difficult to put this book down. A great read for a romance fix whether you are single or situated. ( )
