Loved this book!!! It was such a deep look at friendship and what happens when the rolls in a relationship changes. Definitely one to read!!

I love this book! I read it all in one day.

The book is the story of three women who have known each other since they were children. They were tied together by Molly, best friend to each of them and the only reason they ever saw each other. When Molly passes away, she leaves a request behind that the women hang out without her, and this is the story of how their own relationships with each other and themselves develop after the loss of their best friend.

Suzanne Nugent's writing is so beautiful. I love how she builds the characters through not just their own perspectives, but also those of the people (and dogs!) around them. The narrator being omniscient actually worked really well in this story, and added a deeper layer to some of the events that would be absent otherwise. This book was really fun to read!

Thank you to the author, She Writes Press and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book starts with a terribly sad event - the death of a young woman of cancer - and follows the lives of her three best friends. The friends actively dislike each other, but are forced by a promise given to their dying friend to have brunch together once a month. The characters of each of these three were very well-done and distinct. They were so different in their personalities and outlooks on life, and yet I found myself engaged with each one. I particularly enjoyed seeing how each slowly moved to a point where their outlook on life changed, and they started opening up to living life differently, thanks to the death of their friend.

Enjoyable women's fiction, sometimes tender, sometimes laugh-out-loud funny. Distinct and relatable characters. Recommended.
