Tayari's Blog: Much As I Hate To Admit It

I'm going to have to read The Honeymoon is Over. I was just telling my students last week that love gone right, is great fun for the participants, but as a spectator sport...(as Ladylee would say:) **crickets**.

Love makes for good (if guilty)reading when it goes terribly wrong. And this books is full of heartbreaking remembrances and serious drama. The star, of course, is Terri MacMillian, with 100 Questions she wishes she had asked while she was so busy getting her groove back. For the ultra-nosey, here is a recent interview with Ms. MacMillan.

So I went out and got this book (took two bookstores before I found it) and immediately went to Terry's story. She has a creative entry, "1oo Questions I Meant to Ask Him," in this collection of essays on love, marriage and divorce. Terry is still mad, y'all and her 100 questions lay it all out there, putting her business, Jonathan's and his friend's on the clothesline for everybody to see. I hope Terry moves on soon and writes some serious fiction because this "essay" shows how stuck she has become. Yeah, he did her wrong and she is neither the first, nor the last to have been wronged, but good grief, move along. Something better is out there but she is so busy trying to humiliate that man in retribution, that she comes off looking bad. Terry, we all have stories, girlfriend. Let the man go.
