This book made me appreciate they way my mother raised me.
Taught me at an early age how to get things done and be totally in depended while knowing when to reply on other people.
Over all I love how both women stories came together and they were able to help one another with their individual issues.
It also made me realize that very importance of Friends.

I enjoyed this book more than I initially thought I would.
When I picked it out from the Editor’s Choice section of my Kindle Unlimited, the characters sounded utterly unlikable. And they were, especially in the beginning. But, as I continued to read, I began to really love them.
There were times when Talley’s writing style annoyed me (the word “dope” was used several times during the narration) but overall, I enjoyed the shift in focus found in this book. It was a refreshing, albeit heavy, change to read something that only lightly focused on romance.

Diverting
(Actual rating 2.5)
It wasn’t an amazing read but it was gentle and easy when I’ve been quite busy. TW for rape, sexual abuse, drugs (okay, it’s not completely light!)
Chase London, celebrity actress, has fallen off the rails. Again. And therapist Olivia agrees to do an ‘adulting boot camp’ with her, living in a rundown house in the middle of nowhere - Chase is not impressed by the location for a start. But it turns out that even in the back of beyond, people still turn up and derail Olivia’s careful plans - some difficult surprises, yet some unexpectedly welcome.
Pretty predictable but that’s the kind of book it is. Quick read if you’re feeling like your brain cells don’t need challenging... on the other hand, I’d recommend other books over this for thar particular problem!

I got this book from Kindle first reads. It was fine. Some of the dialogue was horribly cheesy, but it was perfect read for right before I fall asleep. Some of the themes of abuse were difficult, but there were no big twists to the story. I knew how it would end within the first 50 pages or so.

I received this book from a Goodreads giveaway. I was nervous when I read the summary. The topics are heavy but man was it good. The characters and their stories were great.
