"Family secrets may shape us all, but it s the rich, complicated layers of friendship that can save us." Cate, Renee, and Abby have come to New York for very different reasons, and in a bustling city of millions, they are linked together through circumstance and chance. Cate has just been named the features editor of "Gloss, "a high-end lifestyle magazine. It s a professional coup, but her new job comes with more complications than Cate ever anticipated. Her roommate Renee will do anything to nab the plum job of beauty editor at "Gloss." But snide comments about Renee s weight send her into an emotional tailspin. Soon she is taking black market diet pills despite the racing heartbeat and trembling hands that signal she s heading for real danger. Then there s Abby, whom they take in as a third roommate. Once a joyful graduate student working as a nanny part time, she abruptly fled a seemingly happy life in the D.C. suburbs. No one knows what shattered Abby or why she left everything she once loved behind. Pekkanen s most compelling, true-to-life novel yet tells the story of three very different women as they navigate the complications of careers and love and find the lifeline they need in each other."

This book exceeded my expectations. Although nice,light reading the characters had depth to them and were easy to relate to. Enjoyed the way the friendships evolved. The story was a little predictable but I really enjoyed it nonetheless. A nice summer read.

Such a light, easy read for me. I fell in love with Abby and the story behind her life. New York is a place full of many different types of people and Sarah did a great job connecting these girls 😉 Jennifer Weiner is another favorite author of mine and the tone of Sarah's books surely competes.

Mrscastro Can't wait for her new release in July! 😊📚 8y

Top caliber women's fiction with characters that feel real, raw, and highly relatable. Like the author's other novels, you'll find yourself running through all the emotions as the story progresses and I absolutely loved the three main characters and how they helped each other with their problems.
