19 Books You Wish There Were Sequels To
When
we really love a novel, we can't just let it go at "the end."

Why
We Love It: Although there are plenty of "four friends" books, Savannah,
Bernadine, Gloria and Robin have a special place in our psyche. In 1992, when
McMillan introduced us to them, we'd rarely seen the experiences of successful,
thirty-something black women reflected in the popular culture.
The
Sequel: We miss these friends-for-life. Facebook made it possible
for us to satisfy our curiosity about all the real-life pals we haven't seen in
ages. We need an update on our fictional ones—and a glass of wine
together.
