Since this is the first book that I have read by Joy Fielding, I did not know what to expect. I was 'not' disappointed !
It is very fast-paced story of four woman, (all different in personality) their close friendship as well as their personal lives. This is a very emotional story......we learn in the beginning of the book that one of the women will be murdered and one will betray their friendship, we just don't know who will fall victim.
Definately a page-turner!
About the book:
Bestselling author Fielding takes a trip down memory lane in this romantic drama with a thriller twist at the end. Four women friends meet as young mothers living on Grand Avenue in an upscale Cincinnati suburb and, over the course of 23 years, collectively go through a whole range of human experience. In creating Chris, who's trapped in an abusive marriage, Fielding effectively captures the private terror of a woman psychologically and physically damaged by her husband. Vicki, the hotshot lawyer who cheats on her husband, is a workaholic mom whose family takes second place to corporate success. Susan embodies the modern mother who tries to do right by her family, but faces the challenge of a recalcitrant adolescent daughter and, later, sexual harassment on the job. Former beauty queen Barbara is a looks-obsessed woman whose devotion to countless plastic surgeries blinds her to the qualities that make a relationship work. With her usual page-turning flair, Fielding churns out a swiftly paced story that acquires real suspense when one of the characters meets a surprising fate and the meaning of friendship is put to the ultimate test. The tense denouement resolves into a tear-inducing finale.....
Happy Reading!
