Fast Friends
9 journalers for this copy...
From the back of the book:
A reunion with old schoolfriends can be a truly joyful occasion. Then again, as Camilla Stewart disvovers, sometimes it can change your world forever.
Meeting up again with Roz Vallender has devastating consequences for Camilla. Thankfully the outrageous Loulou Marks come to the rescue, persuading her that all is not lost. Loulou's own life might be completely chaotic but she's great at giving other people advice. And when Camilla starts taking it, she soon discovers that life in the fast lane is a lot more fun than being a cheated-on house-wife...

She invites Roz to a party thinking she'll be popular w/ her friends & neighbors for knowing a celebrity. When she discovers her husband Jack & Roz already know each other her world is about to change. The three women, now in their early 30's each go through all sorts of drama and life changes -- sometimes at odds w/ each other but ultimately supporting each other.
I will PM Joanazinha for her address.
Edit: I am very sorry, due to many things I have not the time to go to the post office and now this book will have to wait until I have returned from my holiday. That means the end of May. I'm very sorry...
