This is a book about sisterhood, failed marriages and navigating life through hardships. I wish I had a group of close friends like them. I wish Yvette was in the book a little more before she died. I would have loved to see her relationship with the other girls. The memories were just as good though! Yvette left the girls tickets and money to go on a trip to Jamaica before the died. Throughout the book it kept mentioning the trip and when the trip happened, it was barely touched on and felt like it could have been left out of the book.
I feel like I could relate to Rochelle the most in this book. She was a single mother who ultimately found her happily ever after! The men that came in and out her life werent good for her and it took her almost giving up to find that man she needed. She was such a good mom to her daughter tho, man or no man. I loved their relationship.
Joys husband was trash! He never supported her and it was all about him. He did some shady shit in this book and she should’ve gotten her brother on him! Seeing their relationship, it makes so much sense about mens mindset. She tells her husband she’s done and then all of a sudden he’s more affectionate and wants to make things work but.. for all the wrong reasons. Joy has a lot of patience because that little husband of hers would have been kicked to the curb sooner!
I felt so bad for Diane. She couldn’t get pregnant and wanted to adopt a baby so bad but it seemed like her husband wasn’t on board. He was pissing me off throughout the book with his little attitude. A lot of sad things happened in the book but I don’t want to spoil it.
