How would life have changed if she’d stayed with any one of them? She’d been divorced twice…would the number have been higher or lower? Would she have more than her two daughters, live somewhere other than San Francisco, travel, cook for two?Īt nearly 55 years old, she figured she’d never find love again, but she at least needed closure. Shaken to the core, Georgia began to think about all the men she’d slept with and the ones she’d fallen in love with. She never told the guy she loved him though, and she never would…because he was dead. That’s the way it started for optometrist Georgia Young: new prescriptions, return clients, follow-ups and one new Monday-morning patient who (surprise!) turned out to be the daughter of a man Georgia dated in college and had fallen for. It should have been an ordinary run-of-the-mill Monday.
It just didn’t work out then, but what about now? In the new novel, I Almost Forgot about You by Terry McMillan, he’ll never get away twice. Things were said that couldn’t be unsaid, done that shouldn’t have been done.
He got away because both of you were too young, too scared, too broke or too different. In every love life, there’s always “the one that got away.” I Almost Forgot about You by Terry McMillan, c.2016, Crown, $27.00 / $36.00 Canada, 358 pages.
