The Waiting to Exhale series by Terry McMillan consists of three books published between 1992 and 2010. The series includes Esperando un respiro, a Spanish-language edition, alongside the English-language Waiting to Exhale, both from 1992. Getting to Happy followed in 2010 as a sequel that revisits the characters from the original novel.

The long gap between the 1992 titles and the 2010 follow-up means readers who pick up the series now can read all three books back to back. Starting with Waiting to Exhale and then moving to Getting to Happy is the natural reading path for English-language readers.
