How Stella gets her groove back was a good book. The book was so good, a movie was made from it.
It is about a woman who was a divorced, professional single mom leaving for a much needed vacation. She went to the Bahamas and while vacationing, she met a young man. She got involved with him romantically and eventually, he moved to the states to be with her.
They went thru a lot of ups and downs because first, it was hard for him to get a job. They basically lived off of her income. Second, their age was a factor at times. He was young and immature and she had an older persons mind set.
The only thing they really had in common was in the “bedroom”!
Her family was having a get together and she initially was embarassed to bring him around them. She had one sister who liked him and another sister who felt he was beneath them.
Their arguments became more frequent to where they decided to break up. They went as far as him leaving to go to the airport and once he left for the airport, she realized that she didn’t want to be apart from him. She rushed to the airport, tracked him down and told him she didn’t want him to leave. He agreed and they tried to work it out.
It’s said that this story is the author’s true life story and that she ended up marrying the guy. They’re no longer married and it’s said that he’s gay. It’s also said that’s why they’re not together anymore…she found out about his other life!
