Great story about two sisters, and a friend, and what each of them are going through. Cancer, losing a dream job due to having an affair with a student (and it's not what you think!), and trying to get pregnant and then finding out you have a cheating husband! It's a great read, and can be interrupted as a love story as well.

This book was such a great story about two women who were best friends growing up, then drifted apart for many years, and found each other again.

This book was good but a bit slow to start off. I love all Anita's books and this did end up being a good one, you just have to stick with it.

This book was not as good as I expected. It was a little bit on the boring side to be honest.

Great great great book! Such a great love story. Makes you laugh and cry! The first one is The Dead Don't Dance, then this book. You cannot read the first one and not read this one! I don't suggest reading this book in public too often as it will make you cry!

This book just tore my heart up! You really have no idea what is happening at the very end and it makes you so sad...as well as ANGRY! If you don't like sad endings then don't read this one!

All I can say about this book is BORING! I seriously could not get into this, but was still curious about the one major incident that occurred. I skimmed the entire book trying to find out out what the point of the story is...and basically found out if you marry someone frigid and they don't want to be intimate, but offer to stay married and allow you to have mistresses.....then don't thurn it down. That's what I take from this book. It's just plain boring and weird. I do not recommend this to anyone. Sorry to the author. :(

I read this whole book, but I am really not sure why I put myself through it! It's really kind of boring, but I like to finish what I start and so I did.

Very interesting book. It was very different from anything that I have ever read. It really makes you think about things and how you feel about what happens in the book. Is it right, or is it wrong?

Each chapter of this book is being told by a different character, and it takes us through what is going on in each of their lives, and how they feel. It was better than I expected, after I got started. Not a bad read, not as boring as I thought it was going to be at first.
