Publisher's summary

Four women. Two years.A friendship to last a lifetime.The only things that Sharita, Thursday, Risa, and Tammy have in common are their disastrous love lives. But the year three of them turn 30 will be different, they swear!Sharita, a plump and conservative accountant wants to make partner at her firm and find the man of her dreams. Thursday, the daughter of a formerly chart-topping political rapper, wants to stop being a serial one-month stander, and settle down into a stable life with a stable boyfriend. Risa, a skinny and audacious electronica punk rocker, wants to finally land an album deal, which she feels is the only way to win back the heart of her on-again-off-again closeted girlfriend. And after getting fired as the spokesmodel for her family’s hair company, sweet and gorgeous Tammy wants to prove that she has what it takes to make it on her own. None of these women get what they want, but over the course of two years, they get exactly what they need. And that proves to be the best thing after all.

I miss my EX Bestie! *tear

This is the story of every girls journey in one way or another. When I started I almost sent it back because I didn't like the "sista girl' tone of the book but I am glad I stayed. While listening I could relate to each one of these ladies as they made their way through this crazy thing called life. I really liked how it is the an how to guide by Davie Farrow but inside the Awesome Girl Guide lays something so much better than a self help book. Its about forgiveness, friendship, fun and also falling in love. When I finished I immediately logged into audible to find out if is a next chapter for these awe inspiring ladies. I didn't see much but maybe in the future. Even if there is no sequel these ladies story will stay with me and continue to inspire.

Move over Terry McMillan

This book being a follow-up to 32 candles one of the best books I read this year. The way that the characters from this book and the previous book are weaved together is flawless.

Fantastic Characters

With the exception of very few either too coincidental or too opportunistic scenes, this book might as well be a wonderful true story. Each of the four main characters was perfectly flawed and underwent just the right amount of character development. There was love, loss, and above all else friendship. Listening to this book had me subconsciously reflecting on my life and made me yearn for the types of friendships these women had.

I am so glad I clicked on the promo email that included this story. It was the best few bucks I've spent in a while and was completely caught off guard by how much I enjoyed this story. if you're deciding whether or not to purchase this one, go ahead and do it :)
