Best Friends Forever

By: Kimberla Lawson Roby

Narrated by: Maria Howell

Things are falling apart in the Richardson household. Angry arguments between Celine and her husband, Keith, have become routine. She resents that he's working long hours and staying out all night, and he accuses her of not giving him the attention he deserves. Their marriage is at a cross-roads and Celine worries how her 10-year-old daughter, Kassie, will be affected.

But the situation turns devastating when Celine is diagnosed with breast cancer. As her relationship with Keith deteriorates, Celine worries that she'll be left to navigate the difficult process of cancer treatment alone. But comfort and support come in the form of Celine's best friend, Lauren. They've been attached at the hip since they were children and it is Lauren who's there for Celine in her darkest moments.

Now, Celine will be forced to make tough decisions-about her marriage and otherwise-and for the first time in her life, she wants to give up. Lauren vows to help by any means necessary and makes the kind of sacrifice only a best friend can. But will it be too late?

"Roby writes with high-octane levels of emotion. She pushes her characters hard...drawing in readers to be more than bystanders." -- USA Today

Loved it

This book really touched my heart, I enjoyed the story and it wasn’t too long and drawn out. Some friendships are forever.

true to life

the female characters reaffirm the bond shared between women.. there was a synergy in the ebb and flow of the story..

When Friendship Outlasts the Vows

An emotional read that explores the depths of marriage, betrayal, and unwavering friendship. While the story starts with the promise of lifelong love, it quickly shifts into a tale of heartbreak—where “’til death do us part” is tested in the most painful way. The main character faces abandonment during her greatest time of need, revealing how unfaithfulness can cut deeper than illness.

What stands out, however, is the power of true friendship. Even when love fails, the bond between best friends proves to be a lifeline. Though the pacing at times feels rushed and the emotional arcs could be more developed, the novel still delivers a reminder that the people who stand by you in the darkest moments aren’t always the ones who promised to.

GREAT READ!

Loved it! I love every book that I have read by Kimberla. She is an awesome writer.
