TABT: One Good Friend Deserves Another

I’m not usually a huge fan of non-genre fiction, or at least I haven’t been in the past, so this book was a pleasant surprise.  It really hit the right notes with me, probably because of the protagonists’ ages:  late thirties.   I could identify with them and their struggles more than a lot of the angsty women’s fiction that highlights younger women.

This story follows the lives and loves of four women over a three-monthish period.  Each of them must truly face and question the things they thought to be the truth, and make decisions that will impact the rest of their lives.  I know that’s a really wishy-washy description, but I don’t want to give anything away!

I really enjoyed that there was a lot of diversity in this book, both racially and economically.  I particularly enjoyed the snapshot of Indian culture.  It was a wonderful change of pace!

So, if you’re looking for a mature coming-of-age story, I can definitely recommend this one.
