Four main characters deal with relationship troubles: Judith feels that she has always been in the supporting role as wife and mother and wants to star in her own life. Jazmine is a former athlete who lost her sweetheart and her ability to go pro in tennis in an accident years ago. Sara finds out that her husband is living a double life as he works in another city while she lives with his mother while the mother—never close to Sara—has been recovering from surgery. Erin's fiancé broke up with her a week before their wedding, upending the life story she had imagined for them since they were children.
What do these women have in common? Their friendship through a monthly book club at the local bookstore, Between the Covers. A host of colorful secondary characters—some friends, some family—helped round out the story. This book was a joy, making me care about everyone (except the baddies, of course). I loved watching the women work through their pain and distrust. There were a few surprises which made me exclaim out loud!
