De: Ashley Antoinette

Narrado por: Wesleigh Siobhan

Ellie, Sloan, Courtney, and Shy have been friends since they were teenage girls, and they have seen each other through many seasons of womanhood.

They are now entering their 40s, and they have experienced everything together. They have gossiped over their first kiss. They have jumped bi$%@$ and been jumped on. They’ve survived college. They’ve been each other’s bridesmaids. They’ve consoled each other through divorces. They’ve experienced childbirth together. They have even done drive-bys when trying to catch cheating boyfriends. The one thing they’ve learned over the years is that good friends will see you through the rain until the sun shines again.

As mothers, wives, and career women, it hasn’t been easy for them to stay connected, but when the holidays roll around it’s the perfect excuse for their foursome to reunite. Friendsmas, is the occasion and Ellie is returning home to celebrate. When the reunion opens old wounds, they are forced to face one another and to also look in the mirror and face themselves.

Before The Streetlights Come On, is a book of true friendship. When the men in their lives switch up. When their children act up. When their jobs are fucked up. When the universe seems like it’s cutting up; Ellie, Sloane, Courtney, and Shy tap into the power of their girl tribe to see them through when they feel like giving up.

A Heartfelt Sisterhood Classic

I really enjoyed this story! It felt like a new-age Waiting to Exhale — raw, relatable, and full of heart. The friendship bonds, trials, tribulations, and drama are what made this book so good and so real. The bond between the friends was especially admirable and something I truly wish I had myself. Reading about that kind of love and loyalty, especially around the holiday season, was incredibly heartwarming.

Ashley Antoinette never misses! She knows exactly how to bring emotion, depth, and sisterhood to the page in a way that makes you feel like you’re right there with the characters. The narration was great also!
