Publisher Description

Beyond the joy of sex, Franklin and Zora see the possibility of a solid, lasting relationship; the trouble is, they're far from sure of how to get there.

Disappearing Acts is a different kind of love story: frank and unsentimental, often uproariously funny, and graced throughout with moments of rare, hard-earned wisdom.

"Read this book around 1991-92 after reading an except of it in an Essence magazine. Back then, no one knew Terry McMillan so the book was very hard to find (at least hard to find in Birmingham LOL). I thoroughly enjoyed the book and still consider it one of her best. I think that it would still be a great read, however, there are events, people and places in the book that will date it (Stephanie Mills was still recording and touring). The movie, which I was so excited about, was, like most books to movie, horrible. I don't like Wesly Snipes in anything, and to try to make him out to be anyone's gorgeous chocolate drop.....in what evil alternate universe!!??"

    " This is a amazing novel, however if you are not a fan of profanity than you are not going to like it. It told a good story and I related to some of the characters, it is worth reading. "

    " I believe that this was the first book I read as an adult. I really enjoyed it. I seen the film years later but I have to say that I like the book better not to say that Wesley Snipes and Sanaa Lathan did not do their thing. Reading the book I was able to capture the setting, the mood of the characters and I just overall enjoyed the story line. I feel as though Franklin was the flat character while Zora the strong black women in the book. "

    " This was very well-written, but after a while, Franklin was really a jerk (repeatedly) and hard to bear. Were it not for her excellent writing, I wouldn't have finished this book. "

    " I love how this book starts off and I love how McMillan tells the story from both points of both characters. I think this is one of McMillan' s best writings. I wonder if she interviewed a few men before writing this book, because it is written so well. Great movie too. "
