The Friends We Keep

Mischief Bay, Book 2

De: Susan Mallery

Narrado por: Tanya Eby

After five years as a stay-at-home mom, Gabby Schaefer can't wait to return to work. Oh, to use the bathroom in peace! No twins clamoring at the door, no husband barging in, no stepdaughter throwing a tantrum. But when her plans are derailed by some shocking news and her husband's crushing expectations, Gabby must fight for the right to have a life of her own.

Getting pregnant is easy for Hayley Batchelor. Staying pregnant is the hard part. Her husband is worried about the expensive fertility treatments and frantic about the threat to her health. But to Hayley, a woman who was born to be a mom should risk everything to fulfill her destiny - no matter how high the cost.

Nicole Lord is still shell-shocked by a divorce that wasn't as painful as it should've been. Other than the son they share, her ex-husband left barely a ripple in her life. A great new guy tempts her to believe maybe the second time's the charm...but how can she trust herself to recognize true love?

As their bonds of friendship deepen against the beautiful backdrop of Mischief Bay, Gabby, Hayley, and Nicole will rely on good food, good wine, and especially each other to navigate life's toughest changes.

The Friends We Keep

Love this author! The audiobook was interesting from the start to the end. Loved the decision making to not abort the baby.

Story line

I love the author and the reader! I'm a fan of both! Have tried to read/ listen mainly to All of Mallery's books! She gets you involved and I hate when it ends!

Good listen

I really wanted to slap the main characters as this story progressed, Even though I knew how it would turn out. When I get my feelings railed up I take it as good writing. Keep the stories coming.

Loved this book!

I could not put this book down. It helped my days at work fly by. Definitely a must read!!!

She did it again.

Susan Mallery has really captures the essence of these woman. This series is emotional in all the right was. This book didn't disappoint either. I'm wrapped up in all the lives and want more. The story of becoming a wife, mother and friend is throughout the entire book. I love that it's real and could just as easily be about myself​ and my friends. Highly encourage this series of books!!!

Great Book with issues of today

Great book that shows how teen pregnancy can affect not only the teen but the family unit. it shows the options of unwed pregnancies. It shows how divorce can affect children. it also brings in older foster kids and need for homes. All around it has a great story line with believable characters. it flows well. I highly recommend this book.
