Waiting to Exhale 29 years old

Friends are the people who let you be yourself... and never let you forget it.

Waiting to Exhale

Cheated on, mistreated and stepped on, the women are holding their breath, waiting for the elusive "good man" to break a string of less-than-stellar lovers. Friends and confidants Vannah, Bernie, Glo and Robin talk it all out, determined to find a better way to breathe.
