The Friendship Breakup by Annie Cathryn

2.5

 This book had a lot that I liked but a lot that I didn't. While exploring the tough parts of being a friend, wife, and mom, this book had so many opportunities to be about growth and exploration. And... it was... however, there were a lot of very immature moments where the drama took me right back to high school. That being said, there can be and still is drama in adulthood, but these ladies were straight up nasty and acting like teenagers.

A big thing for me was how Fallon really wanted to make up with the people who just shut her down and ghosted her. She was trying SO hard to push herself back into their lives- and sometimes that can be a good thing... but in this case, they gave her clear signs that they weren't having it. Wanting a reason why is understandable, but some of the lengths Fallon went to were a bit much for me.

I loved the connection with her birth mother and how she got tested for the BRCA gene. There was no need for us to receive the results of it in the book, but I'm so glad we did. The ending of the book had me emotional in good ways.

I'd read another book from Annie Cathryn, and as a debut novel, this one is pretty decent!
