Friends with Secrets
by Christine Gunderson
3.5 stars
I would have loved reading this story about stressed out young moms when I was a stay at home mom of little ones. The target audience for Friends With Secrets is clearly other frazzled moms who, like our heroines, may also be grappling with identity crises or feelings of inadequacy. I’m not sure how well the story will resonate with other groups, but it’s a nice cozy little mystery.
While both Ainsley and Nikki are great moms, they are opposite in every other way. One is super organized and the other is scatterbrained; one dresses in matching designer duds while the other is lucky if her clothes look clean; one lives in a mansion with servants and the other is just making ends meet. I enjoyed their differences and the ying-yang nature of their unexpected friendship.
Although a lot of stress could have been avoided, the plan/mystery was enjoyable. With a little editing, Friends With Secrets could have been 4 stars, but it just drags on too long.
