Sib, Mary Beth, and Kim each battle their own demons as they struggle to find their places in the world at large. Sib and Kim are both fighting huge self-esteem issues but take vastly different paths in their search for fulfillment. Mary Beth's life takes her in yet a third direction, but she too wonders if this is all life holds for her.The books spans 30 years by showing us snapshots of life approximately every ten years. It was an interesting way to tell the story and get to know the women and their families. In fact, I would say that this book is about four women, because Sib's daughter Mae is prominent in the story as well.Any book that can make me care about the characters is a good one. I felt the most sympathy for Kim and Mae. I identified with Mary Beth. And I just didn't like Sib very much. I'm not sure this can be called a book about friendship. Rather it's a story of relationships and how every decision we make affects those around us.I received this book free from the author in exchange for an honest review.Notice of financial connection: I was paid to beta read and proofread this book. This did not affect my review, and I receive no compensation for purchases made based on my review.
