After almost three decades of success and celebrity, McMillan still knows how to please…. Self-discovery, second chances and the importance of family are thematic hallmarks of McMillan’s novels, as is the rich and colorful dialogue that make her books so much fun to read. I Almost Forgot About You checks all the boxes.... By novel’s end, you’ll realize what a clever title McMillan has chosen. Georgia’s choices will have readers of a certain age looking at their own lives and agreeing with her that sometimes you know in your heart it’s time for a change.

McMillan is funny and frank about men, women and sex. Her summaries of Georgia’s marriages and major love connections—"this is what he gave me"—are powerful and poetic.
USA Today


McMillan paints relationships in joyous primary colors; her novel brims with sexy repartee, caustic humor, and a fluent, assured prose that shines a bright light on her memorable characters. Her very best since Waiting to Exhale.

Ebony


[A] rambunctious showcase of the bestselling author’s keen ear for language, clear eye for the give-and-take of sex, love, and commitment, and heartfelt faith in happy endings.... There’s no better guide than McMillan for this excursion through early-, middle-, and old-age crises.
