- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I said I wasn't going to do it this year, but I did it anyway: I read, cover to cover, a seriously flawed book. Every plot point, every character, every setting, screamed cliche, cliche, cliche. Yet I kept reading. Why? I never do this. All I can figure is it was the main character's midlife struggles and the family's African American-ness that kept me tuned in to the last page. The truth is that the whole book was really a bad fictionalized version of Dr. Phil-like advice about menopause and male midlife crisis.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I loved this book. It was fun! I could so relate to the characters. It is a book about what happens when a woman devotes all her time in the kitchen and to the family. And needs a little somethin somethin for her self!!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5An enjoyable read. The novel is funny, laced with witty dialogue, great subplots, a few surprises, and unforgettable characters, especially her niece and her mother-in-law, Athurine. Her relationship with Authurine (mother-in-law) and eventually Prezelle, was endearing. She went to church with her and they held hands, she bought new modern jogging suits for her to walk the malls and look good for her boyfriend. I loved it! But, I wanted to know more about the relationship between Marilyn and Gordon (husband #1). "The Interruption of Everything" has a lot of strong women characters, as most of McMillan's books do, and this book is no exception. Her website says all of her books are about empowerment. I feel that a lot of women do forget themselves and focus on everything and everyone else around them. The story line was age appropriate for me. I can relate to Marilyn because I'm 43 and near pre-menapausal with one child in college and another 18 - getting ready to leave home (I hope). However, I didn't put my dream on hold to get a college degree. It was slow going but I took one class per semester, sometimes 2 so as not to compromise my children and husband. My family fully supported me. I love doing crafts as Marilyn does and my husband sounds like Leon (without the infidelity...I pray). The story of the hair braiders-not sure why that was even in the book. The ending fell a little short for me. It doesn't seem realistic too abrupt, you are kind of left hanging. Marilyn still had hope to have a good happy life that may or may not include her husband.
