This book was the most exhausting, frustrating, ridiculous story that I have read. There was so much drama and stupid twists and turns. And the decision making process of all the players was ridiculous. It start with a bunch of 30+ year old women, supposedly friends from deep down and unbreakable bonds. The main character, Jasmine, has relationships with each sister that evolved from different life experiences. Jasmine loves each friend differently, so the story implies. The story repeatedly flips and flops from friendly social encounters, to cuss outs, several inferences to physical alterations, to conversations/ request from God for guidance, to very explicit sexual encounters. Plain stupidity and blatant blasphemy. Glad it's just fiction or is it??? I finished it but by pure endurance and hope that the story line would change/get better. No luck. Until the very end, more retarded interactions and several apologies/pleas for forgiveness. I could have thrown all of the characters in one bags and shook them until I tired. Don't get me wrong, I have had drama in my life that could make Jerry Springer and Maury seem like child's play, but this story was ridiculous. I could not figure out I I should pity Jasmine, the poor stupid overweight girl (that was always hungry/always "wet and creamy"/always crying/and never learns from any experiences bad or good. Again the story was stupid, frustrating and exhausting. Well at least it was free and I finished it, for what's that worth. I don't think I have known anyone, including myself, that stayed in so much bull....., with every incident or reconciliation somehow having to do with involve the notion of food consumption. I don't get. With all that drama going on, the last thing I would be thinking of is food. No wonder Jasmine is fat. If she kept out of stuff, then maybe she would not be eating so much. And how small was that town? Why was it that everyone stayed in the business or was somehow involved in it. 2 men, 4 women, several opinions/words of wisdom from the older, more experienced town's people. I am going to stop editorializing because I could go on for a while. I had so many issues with this story line that I kept notes, while I was reading, to be included in this review to support my opinion. I could not wait for the story to end so that I could get to this part (comments/reviews) about this writing. Now I can try to forget this book and its stupidity and move onto another book. GOD bless the writer and her intentions related to this story. "The road to hell is paved with good intentions". I had to keep reminding myself that this was a fiction because no one or nothing could actually be this stupid. I read the whole story, but would never read it again...delete.
