Another great book from Ellen Hopkins. Her first adult novel,and it's written in verse just like her teen novles,which makes it great! i liked the connection between the characters.Although the women are older than i am in the story, and i didn't really relate, i still enjoyed this read. The 3 women in this novel are connected, between friendship,affairs,and fate. This story isn't a happy one like most of her books, but the stories really tough deep, and are so real. You get wrapped up in the characters lives, and in every one of her books make you feel like you're a part of there lives. Marissa has a handicaped daughter,and a husband who is completely worthless, and a gay son.Andrea single and with one daughter. Holly frustrated and a simple housewife. These womens life will entertwine between love, and friendship, between highs and lows of life only friendship,love, and forgivness can bring them together.
