Second Time Around by Beth Kendrick
3.0
College friends lament paths not taken. One of the friends passes away from lupus, and she gives each of her four friends $250,000 to explore the paths not taken.
The characters could have been stronger. The only one who you could tell was talking without her name being attached was a non-friend who was the archenemy of one of the main characters. It was hard to keep everyone straight because they all seemed the same, albeit with different occupations and names.
There is no mourning for the recently departed, which I found odd and didn't seem to be realistic. I know the story is focusing on the main characters and their second chances, but you would think there would be more than one short page that mourns the benefactor who left them this wonderful opportunity.
The book ends tidily, perhaps a little too tidily.
