4.0

I enjoyed the story of two completely different women becoming friends and learning from one another and actually having growth in their own journey’s. Even though the main character, Sugar, was not like by the town people based on her way of making income her next door neighbor accepted her for who she was and never judge. I mean these women had completely different upbringings and lives and yet they managed to be real and raw with each other as their friendship grew. As the reader secrets were revealed and shocking moments but it made sense when you think about in the end.

I really would’ve love for Joe to find out the connection to Sugar earlier but maybe that’s for the second book. 

I’m so glad she didn’t run away with Seth!
