this book feels like it’s from the nineties or early aughts but in a bad way. the language and tropes are dated (ableist, heteronormative, marriage-centered). no LGBT representation at all. the cover art is lovely, i’m just surprised this manuscript made it to shelves as is.

3 girlfriends were the main characters: Candice, Dallas, and Sasha.
All ladies had relationship drama and they leaned on each other for support and advice. This book chronicled their relationship woes and journey to happiness.
2.75 stars
Candice had a man who wasn’t faithful but he took care of things financially so Candice had to decide if the financial security was worth the lack of true partnership she desired.
Dallas was with Messiah for 15 years and he cheated and got engaged to his mistress. Dallas couldn’t let him go after all the time she invested and plus they have a child together.
Sasha and Hunter had been trying desperately to have a child with her man Jackson but their inferiority issues was taking a toll on their relationship.
I didn’t connect with their experiences and never got drawn in. It did feel like it would make an interesting show because it was full of drama. Ultimately, I was satisfied that all the secrets and lies were revealed and the women decided on what they needed to be happy.
