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.

“The only thing better than reading a Terry McMillan novel is hearing her deliver one of her own works…McMillan believably inhabits Georgia…Equally exhilarating are McMillan’s renderings of Georgia’s best friend, Wanda…The most fun is hearing the banter of her classmates at their fortieth class reunion and Georgia’s own snarky retorts. Listeners will feel sad, joyful, and amused—and may be tempted to replicate Georgia’s quest in their own lives. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”
