Have you ever been a less than perfect friend? To whom does
your first loyalty belong—your best friend or your husband?
With her trademark wit and empathy, Sally Koslow explores
the entangled lives of women in this candid, fast-paced novel.
Quincy, Talia, Chloe, and Jules met in the early nineties
after answering a roommate ad for a Manhattan apartment.
Despite having little in common, the women became fast
friends. A decade later, their lives have diverged, though
their ties remain strong. Quincy, a Midwestern introvert, is trying to overcome a set
of tragedies by hunting for the perfect home; Talia, a
high-energy Brooklyn wife and mom with an outspoken
conscience, is growing resentful of her friends’ greater
financial stability and her husband’s lack of ambition;
timid Chloe, also a mother, is trying to deflect pressure
from her husband, a hedge fund manager, to play the role of
trophy wife; while Jules, a fiercely independent
actress/entrepreneur with a wicked set of life rules, is
confronting her forties alone. When Jules gives her new boyfriend the inside scoop on the
real estate gem Quincy is lusting after, and Talia chases a
lucrative job earmarked for Chloe, the women are forced to
wrestle with the challenges of love and motherhood. Will
their friendships and marriages survive? And at what price?
Punchy yet tender, a high-five to sisterhood, this book will
hit an emotional bull’s-eye for anyone who has had—or
been—less than a perfect friend.
