First and foremost a special thank you goes out to Ms. Tyra and Ms. Aris for being the shutterbugs who captured the club's loveliness in a group photo! For many of us, it was our first time meeting each other - let's not let it be our last. I hope to see many of you at the upcoming meetings or other events.

Needless to say, we had a great time discussing

I Almost Forgot About You

Terry McMillan

Many of the members could relate to the themes of restlessness, self-discovery, reinvention, seeking closure with past relationships, sisterly support/friendship, and the challenges of motherhood, daughterhood, etc.
We loved the friendship between Georgia and Wanda. Some were enthralled with the evolution of Abraham, entertained with Georgia's journey and finding love and happiness late in life.
Many were disappointed with:
Character development: Stan was a bit too perfect and there were unanswered questions about his past; some thought Georgia fell for him a bit too quickly and easily. Violet - was she really a "friend?"
The ending: felt it was a bit rushed and too tidy and left readers wanting a bit more.
The NCBC group average is 3.65 which is not bad! Individual ratings are as follows:

Tyra: 3.5

Lynda: 4

Veda: 4

Richelle: 3.5

Aris: 3

Claudia: 3.5

Renee: 3.5

Janie, Lana, and Kelda came to assess the club's vibe and participate in the discussion. We enjoyed having them with us. Each considered picking up the book after our discussion.
