The Friendship List

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Sparkling… A sure hit with women’s fiction fans.” —Publishers Weekly

Two best friends jump-start their lives in a summer that will change them forever…

Single mom Ellen Fox couldn’t be more content—until she overhears her son saying he can’t go to his dream college because she needs him too much. If she wants him to live his best life, she has to convince him she’s living hers.

So Unity Leandre, her best friend since forever, creates a list of challenges to push Ellen out of her comfort zone. Unity will complete the list, too, but not because she needs to change. What’s wrong with a thirtysomething widow still sleeping in her late husband’s childhood bed?

The Friendship List begins as a way to make others believe they’re just fine. But somewhere between “wear three-inch heels” and “have sex with a gorgeous guy,” Ellen and Unity discover that life is meant to be lived with joy and abandon, in a story filled with humor, heartache and regrettable tattoos.

Don't miss New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's heartwarming summer novel, The Summer Book Club, where conversations over a glass of wine turns into something much more in this journey of motherhood, friendship and love.

Flower opening

This book had me laughing out loud and cheering for growth. It is not always easy to move pass a love but knowing it takes courage each time to put yourself out there again and who knows if just may find a soft landing . This book also shows how parents can mess a child up.

Good

Speedy… reader was very FAST!! Even when I slowed down the speed of the audible. Hard to focus and really get the whole story. I’ll have to read this book not listen to it, but not sure I will. Story line not really what I thought it would be a story line I wanted to read or listen too.

Friendship

Never really heard women chat as the characters do..I like the depth of men in story.

Not her best writing to me

I look forward to reading each of Susan Mallory's books and love her writing. This book does not represent her best writing because by the end of it, I still was on the outside observing the story instead of immersed in it. I knew where it was going and there really wasn't anything that grabbed me and pulled me in our a plot twist or two that kept me in suspense. Narrating did the usual good job. It's still a nice story two women moving on in their lives.

I loved this

This was a great summer dog walking book.
It made me smile and want to get to know the characters.
