A story about friends, lifelong friends, and best friends forever; even if one is a hypocrite and the other one is a man chaser. They truly only had each other and yet they both have husbands... Nikki gives advice on a talk show to callers and yet can’t seem to reach her friend. Nikki herself needs her own advice to deal with things in her past or somebody’s advice.
The book blends emotions, thoughts, action and a yearning for what they do not have and want but may not need. This book is about life, people, real people with real problems living a real life sprinkled with drama and problems. The characters are fantastic and ones you feel like you really know. You read a few paragraphs and want to sit the characters down and explain what they are doing wrong and what they should do; but you turn another page to watch them go on.
Nikki’s husband is back from deployment and brought a friend with him; the need to drink. Trinette deals with her own issues, a boss and an unplanned event. A bit of Jekyll and Hide in all of the characters.
The journey with these characters is full of dilemmas entwined with laughter, tears, desire, addiction and a small hope from the church with mamma and acceptance for how things are. The read was a good one. At times there seem to be too much going on like a soap opera but it was worth the read. The title is a perfect fit; we all deal with the consequences and not all of them are good.
I received this book via goodreads and appreciate the opportunity to read it and share it with others.
