Released in Dec. The book was released in and caught the eye of film studios. The film was a hit with viewers. A medley performance of songs from the soundtrack was performed during the Grammy Awards ceremony. A sequel to the first book, Getting to Happy, was released in The book picks up 15 years after the first with the four women remaining connected but experiencing different levels of love and loss.
McMillian was inspired to write the sequel after she experienced a public and humiliating divorce and poured her energy into further developing the four characters with tidbits of her life spread throughout them all. She told CNN in A salute to an epic work of art for BlackHistoryMonth. Which one was most like you? After my divorce, I was really bitter, angry, and I started meeting a lot of other women in my age group — mid 40s to late 50s who were just sad.
So, in trying to explore what it might take for us to get back to happy so to speak, I just came up with four different scenarios that I know a lot of women have to deal with. At the time of the interview, McMillian revealed that FOX had already purchased the movie rights before the book was even released. At the time, Rochon, Bassett, and Divine had already expressed interest in reprising their roles.
