A book about finding body and sole. 

Three friends find each other when they most need to. Life has a tendency to throw hand grenades at you when you least expect them.

When they first meet these, three people have no idea how much they are going to need each other over the next few months, but through human connection, each one begins to grow in their own way towards happiness. 

For Women's Contemporary Fiction, this novel had so many twists and turns that left my jaw on the flaw.

if you want to learn how to make how to lemonade out of life's lemons, then you might just find some inspiration within these pages.

The secret to happiness may involve tears. This story follows 3 women who meet and they all come to a pivotal point in their lives. Touching, emotional, maybe even a bit inspiring.

Every woman in this story is the biggest doormat who lets men treat her like total crap. I was hopeful that the friendship between the women would blossom in a way that they would learn to be happy on their own and enjoy life as single friends, but that didn’t happen. The writing and story isn’t terrible, but the characters are the worst.
