Description

“Rita skillfully reveals the depth of her characters.” --New York Times bestselling author Jacqueline Sheehan

Heartfelt, sexy, and always savvy, author Carmen Rita’s new novel follows four wildly successful best friends as they tackle unforeseen challenges, struggle to keep it together—and learn how to let go...

They’ve had each other’s backs through major changes—and maximum bad news. But now Cat, Magda, Gabi, and Luz find unexpected drama from their pasts threatening their bond, along with everything they've fought to build.

Always upfront and out-there in her career, Cat won big with her solo online interview show. However, risking romantic commitment will mean confronting her deepest fears—and a stunning secret.

Hotshot investor Magda finally has a stable, happy life. But with her worst mistake about to go viral, how far will she push a friend—and break the rules—to stop it?

It took a lot of self-help for sensitive therapist Gabi to start over. A sizzling new love now offers some straight-up delicious healing—but honesty can be one dangerous illusion...

Wealthy socialite Luz will do whatever it takes to care for her newfound teenage half-sister. But a life-changing choice is putting more than their still-fragile relationship on the line...

Now what these close friends don't know about each other will test everything they believe about themselves. And finding the courage to understand and the strength to forgive will be their only chance to come to terms, move on—and live for real.

Advance Praise

“Fans will be delighted to see that Rita’s next novel, Never Too Late, is a continuation of the friendships of Cat, Luz, Magda, and Gabi from Never Too Real. Rita writes a realistic friendship into her novel, letting readers feel at home with the girls. Her dilemmas are realistic though not trite, and there are its share of heavy moments. However, Rita explores these issues with grace and an open mind, allowing readers to relate to multiple characters throughout the novel. Each character brings her own unique personality to the relationship, which can get messy; however, they are determined to stick together. Never Too Late is a breath of fresh air, giving readers a pause from reality to enjoy time with Luz, Gabi, Magda, and Cat.”– RT Book Reviews , 4 Stars
