Shannon Davis' debut novel is seasoned with drama, love, obstacles, pain and lust. The finished product - a good book. Her characters are realistic and relatable. Readers feel their pain as well as their joy. I definitely recommend this book, especially to book clubs. It should make for some lively discussions. Looking forward to reading more from this author.

Shannon N. Davis is new to writing, but writes like she has done this a few times. She writes about the bonds of friendships, not only of women but as men as well. Capturing the complexities of relationships through her characters. The storyline flows well and the dialog is frank and honest, like only a girlfriend can give. With the supporting male characters, Davis is able to give a different views on male/female relationships. I liked the reality she created the characters in, for every action they made there was reaction or a consequence they had to deal with.

I recommend this book to everyone but I highly recommend it for a book club. This is one of those kinds of books that you feel you have to discuss with your friends. Shannon Davis' story tells us all that you have to be very careful to who you can call a friend. Veronica --C&B Books
