This is a real book about real women living real lives in the face of everything that life throws at them. Carolyn, Ava, and Jasmine are three of the most unexpected friends that Fate finds a way of connecting when they each need the others support. I love that what brings these women together is not just a need to have someone be their advocate or offer them a path to success, but that they are there to listen to each other and become a true sister and found family accepting each other without any expectations.

An excellent read for any and all readers! Author comes at you with both barrels and knocks you out of your shoes! Great job fleshing out all the characters. I give this book FIVE stars! Definitely recommend!

“Before the Next Mistake” by Cate Perry is a delightful book highlighting the developing friendship of three women (Carolyn, Ava, and Jazmine) who become connected to each other after experiencing a series of professional, romantic, and financial catastrophes. Determined not to make the same mistakes again, they form a “Red Flag” club and support each other. Unfortunately, things do not go smoothly for them at all—if it’s not one thing, it’s another. I found myself turning the pages until I got to the end, wanting to know how these women fared.

I love books that focus on female friendships and this one has it all. Highly recommend! Many thanks to Net Galley and the publisher for an ARC of this novel. My opinion is my own.

This book hooked me from the very first page. It is a very well written book and I found myself in the story with the characters. My favorite scene is when the women are having drinks and a waiter points out a woman who needs help in the dating department and she keeps meeting men with ‘red flags’. They help the woman and then tell about all the ‘red flags’ in a partner and relationship. I could relate to so many of these! A story about friendships and women supporting each other. I loved it!

this is such an original premise and follow through the whole of the book. ive not read anything like this before and it was a perfect all rounder. im not sure i know how it did it but it uplifted me throughout. the themes the little quips of humor, the support from each character to each other it all amounted to something that leaves a lighter feeling. because it does feel like a supportive book. there are three woman who come across each other quite by accident. they are both facing things at work and home life and choose to work together to work on themselves. having realized that their "red flag" men have all turned it around and become something better for a future person they feel the need to start asking questions. how to be better,safer humans in themselves and their belief in themselves in order to have a better set of tomorrows.
this book was so wholesome. it had me turning the pages quicker as i wanted to find out what was to come next for them as individuals and as a whole.
this is a great find of a read. one you will pick up,read and be so glad you did.
