Publisher's summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes an unforgettable beach book about the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters and finding friendship with the unlikeliest person, perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Emily Giffin…

As the owner of Twisted, Seattle’s best salons, Erica knows that the sharpest cuts come from the people we love. She’s terrified that she’s losing her teen daughter, Summer, to her “other” family, especially to her stepmom, Allison.

All it takes to blow up Allison’s happy life is one collect call. From prison. Her beloved husband, Peter, has been arrested, leaving Allison pregnant, broke, scared and alone with a toddler. But when her stepdaughter ferrets out the truth, the teen rushes to the last person Allison wants to ask for help—her husband’s battle-ax ex.

Erica would do anything for Summer, even take in the woman her daughter loves like a second mom. Allison feels intimidated by Erica—a woman who would never let herself become so dependent on a man. But the more time they spend together, the more Allison realizes what Erica truly needs is a friend. Can two women who married the same man move beyond their complicated past and rethink what it means to be family?

quality, quirky, quintessential raw gutsy

I was prepared to not like or accept Allison, or maybe Erica, instead a very well crafted story with much empathy and attention to nuance delighted.

So powerfully wonderful

I love this book
It was so well written. I was a bit in a ptsd issue. I think Susan Mallery has visited a loved one or former loved one in prison. It was so real it was a flash back to thirty years ago.
The make your own family aspect of this book was amazing. I also loved the tough love bio family handed out as well.
Such a great book
Thank you!

A Story of Family

What do you do when your 'family' grows by 3 people? You adjust. For Erika, her 3 new family members are her ex's wife and children. Aren't you suppose to hate or at least really dislike your ex's new family? where does it say that she has to invite them to live in her house?
Susan Mallery has written a book about family, friendship, and learning to trust and she has has done it well.

Loved the characters

I will definitely read another book by Susan Mallery, but nothing read by Eby. The story was engaging, the characters likable and the premise unique.
