Publisher's summary

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Waiting To Exhale is back with the inspiring story of a woman who shakes things up in her life to find greater meaning.

In I Almost Forgot About You, Dr. Georgia Young's wonderful life--great friends, family, and successful career--aren't enough to keep her from feeling stuck and restless. When she decides to make some major changes in her life, including quitting her job as an optometrist and moving house, she finds herself on a wild journey that may or may not include a second chance at love. Georgia’s bravery reminds us that it’s never too late to become the person you want to be, and that taking chances, with your life and your heart, are always worthwhile.

Big-hearted, genuine, and universal, I Almost Forgot About You shows what can happen when you face your fears, take a chance, and open yourself up to life, love, and the possibility of a new direction. It’s everything you’ve always loved about Terry McMillan.

Critic reviews

"McMillan is a gifted storyteller… The cast of characters enriches the narrative, bringing nuance and clarity to scenes and moving the plot along…. Georgia’s story reminds readers who have clocked a lot of living that it’s never too late to reconnect and reflect on the past as they craft the future they want."Fort Worth Star Telegram


"The ripple effects from Terry McMillan’s breakthrough in contemporary African-American fiction still influence our daily lives... [I Almost Forgot About You is] much in the same vein of McMillan’s other novels that track Black women’s journeys through self-discovery."—BLAC Detroit

"McMillan is a master at her craft. Without a doubt, this book will be a hit with anyone who feels stuck in life and is ready to make a move. McMillan has done it again. Get this book and read about Georgia’s journey. This is another book that should be on everyone’s reading list."—The Baton Rouge Advocate

Great story

i love all of Terry McMillan's books and this one is no different, i just really wish she would hire people to do her reading, she just sounds so sad and monotone...but if you can get over her tone you are in for a good time.

First time and loved it!

This was my first audible book. Terry Mcmillian is amazing anyways so I did not expect anything less. It was more using audible for the first time. Not only did I enjoy the story, the characters but also the interactive features it has. It was not what I expected at all, I found myself wanting to keep going and going and going. I decided to utilize this tool during morning and afternoon commute. I then read paperback book at home before bed. This is a great way to read more than one book at a time and great tool to broaden imaginative thinking. I really loved this one and look forward to more.

I love all of Terry's Books

Terry is by far my favorite author because all of her characters become alive to me. I can't wait to see this movie.

Great Novel About Life

It made me laugh, cry, nostalgic, and at times, empathetic. It's a great story about finding yourself, forgiveness, hope and moving on. It is a great reminder to never give up, no matter how crazy the road of life has been. And most of all, it's never to late to start anew. New career, new love...new lease on life! Enjoy!

Terry is such an awesome storyteller. I could literally picture myself on that train with Georgia. I'm glad that she was the narrator, her voice was perfect 💖
