Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Sitting down to listen to 'Waiting to Exhale' was like having a friend narrate your personal anecdotes aloud. Terry McMillan’s narration is nothing short of brilliant; she effortlessly shifts between tones, making each character feel real and distinct. The story unfolds with a steady pace that keeps you engaged without rushing through any emotional beats. However, the pacing at times can be slightly uneven, lingering too long on certain scenes that could have been trimmed for better flow. Despite this minor critique, McMillan's performance elevates the narrative to new heights, making 'Waiting to Exhale' a must-listen audiobook.
