When life rewrites the story, only friendship will see them through.

After years of hard work, four best friends—Celeste, Yasmeen, Toni and Leslie—are finally on the verge of opening the bookstore of their dreams. A place where their community can find solace with an intriguing new read, a comforting beverage and book-loving friends.

But before they can cut the ribbon, their worlds are upended.

Toni receives devastating news just months before her wedding, while Celeste’s struggling marriage threatens to collapse completely. Leslie learns a shocking secret about her family, and a lotto ticket changes Yasmeen’s life—but not for the better.

As the bookstore’s grand opening fast approaches, the four women must lean on each other now more than ever to navigate their grief and uncertainty. And together, they’ll learn that sometimes, even life’s most unexpected plot twists can lead to beautiful new beginnings.

Great read!

Wonderful characters with a clever story line! I would recommend this book to all book lovers with a penchant for great sister friend stories!

Girlfriends?!

Girlfriends.,they can be a blessing and a curse. No one knows you as well as your girls do.

This story had me loving some and disliking others. It revolves around 4 friends attempting to open a book store so they can share their love of books with others. Each one is at a different time in their lives and facing their own turmoil. When all of their issues comes to a head, will they face them together or will this destroy their friendship forever.

I enjoyed the story, but the main theme here was how fear can paralyze you. Leslie, Toni, Yasmeen, and Celeste were each afraid of facing “something” and instead of pulling people in, they constantly kept everyone at arms length, being mean and spiteful at times, testing the friendship and failing miserably. As the story unfolds, it made you really think, how close are your friends really? Can you truly give and receive truth? Only time will tell.

cute read for friends

I enjoy it 😌 made me think of my close friends and how we always come back.

Decent listen…

First off, let me state that this book has to do more with sisterhood/friendship than it does a bookstore. So please don’t go into this thinking it’s about the bookstore, it’s the lesser focal point.
What I will say is that this story is about 4 friends and it is very believable even though you’ll probably think that they’re childish…we’ve all had a friend like one of these at some point in our lives. The smart/happily married one, the irresponsible one, the one that acts like their entire life is well put together and the one that hates their life. If I could think of something to compare this to, I’d compare this to the Tyler Perry show “Sistas”. It gives us a glimpse of what true friendship looks like.
I gave this 3.75 stars because I felt like this was lacking in substance in a few places and got complacent in other spots. This really had the makings of being a fantastic book!

I love books

Enjoying reading and sharing life with friends are amazing. I’m so glad they renewed their friendship

The Great Sisterhood!

I loved how I got to know each of the friends individually and as a group.

I loved these sisters!

Well-drawn characters and snappy, heartfelt dialogue, all wrapped in a relatable story of heartbreak and triumph! Who could ask for anything more from a book! This one will always be among my favorites!

Great sisterhood

Man ol man talk about 4 women going thru it all! Makes me wish I had that type of support system.

books and friends

Love the characters and their friendship. i definitely saw my group of friends within the book and the love for books was infectious.

How ridiculously immature these women were

I only finished this book because we were reading it for book club. The level of dishonesty the four main characters had with themselves and nearly everyone else was annoying, The fact that it was also an “all’s well that ends well” conclusion was also annoying.
