A review by carolmia
The Goddesses by Swan Huntley

4.0

This book is about Nancy who recently moved with her husband Chuck and their teenage twins to Hawaii. In the island she meets Ana (pronounced "O-na") who is a yoga instructor, among other things. They start a friendship where Nancy is more of a traditional stay-at-home mom and Ana is sort of an adventurer, their personalities complement each other.

When I started reading I thought the book was mainly about female friendships and bonding and to some degree it is, but soon turns out to be darker than it appears after some events and this is where it gets very interesting. I will not go into any details as I love discovering things as I read and will not spoil the fun for you. 

This is the second book I've read from the same author, the first one was We Could Be Beautiful which I loved.

Overall I enjoyed the book and recommend it to all those who love self-discovery journeys, themes of female friendship or just a good contemporary book.

Thanks to NetGalley, Swan Huntley, and Dobleday for providing me with a copy of this publication in exchange for an honest review.
