This was a wonderful story. The author really makes you connect with the characters and fall into the story. It was hard to put down until the end.
This was a page-turner very easy to read and very enjoyable. I love the different struggles between the women she had me interested in the book from the very first line
Good look at how our realities intertwine.
This book was great! Very entertaining!!!
Hated it, didn’t read very far in. Such stereotypes, I abandoned it and I rarely leave a book unfinished. Seemed to be written by a kid.
It was a fun read a little to sexual at times, but kept me interested and you didn’t find out what was bothering the girls till the very end. Enjoyed reading it very much.
Too much bad wording to even finish
Thought this book was awful. Vulgar at times. Didn’t finish reading it. The women are self-centered and liars, not only to each other, but to their spouses/significant others.
Loved this book and the characters in it!
Ridiculous characters.
An interesting look at four friends as they reconnect after years apart. Sometime time changes everything, sometimes friends just become more special.
Excellent story! !! Few unexpected turns that I didn’t see coming. Really enjoyed the friendship and love that endured. Have enjoyed everything I have read by this author so far.
Very hard to put down! I wanted to rush through the book to find out what had caused the split among the friends!
A nice story to read on a rainy weekend.
Not your average plot—a real stand-out original. Intense, flawed characters, emotional twists, and facing painful truths. All twined together into an in-depth examination of the relationships between five women through many years. Good read!
An unusual take on four friends, why they’ve been estranged for so long, and an unusual reunion of sorts.
I am still reading it great so far!!!
I was hoping for a better ending to this book. It stopped at a certain necessary point and then picked up later. Not good and rather stupid. What happened to the ladies in the meantime?
I feel like I wasted my time reading this book, and had it not been a quick read, I would have set it aside. The characters were shallow and self-absorbed, childish, and materialistic. The scenarios of them coming back together were unrealistic. The writing wasn’t engaging, and the attempt to throw in what she thought was “steamy” sensuality was unnecessary and ineffective. I would not recommend this to anyone, and I won’t read any of her other books.
don’t like the choices this review gives you to select. So narrow and this was not a narrow book. To an extent the characters will annoy you, but they are also the reality of friends who have to discover a whole bunch of stuff about who they are though adults. Who have to overcome, embrace themselves, face their pasts and their futures. Faith is part of this, but this isn’t one of those books that slaps that in your face. This isn’t my normal type of fiction, but truly loved this book. Only gave it the four stars, though, because the writing just wasn’t as good as it should have been for the possibilities of this story line
