What can I say about Best Friends Forever by Kimberla Lawson Roby? I have never been disappointed with one of her novels. This is a short read, but it's a good one. It doesn't jump all over the place. It stays on track with how Celine and Keith's marriage started to go down hill. I have always loved how the author incorporates God in her books. It's never too much or too little. It’s always straight to the point and you know that no matter what your circumstances are God is always in control! Trust me, there are some twist and turns throughout the book that you will not expect. Best Friends Forever is a short novel but a good one. I highly recommend this book.

'Best Friends Forever' was a quick page turner that dealt with tough issues: bad marriage, illness and the affect it all has on the child. I was often pulled from the story due to the fury of husbands treatment. I must admit I wanted more character development as I always do in her shorter novels. However, I'll take a quick read with less development than no read any day.
