Four girls who because of some strange connections became
best friends. All the girls' last name started with a C,
and they are all Scorpios. Weird but that is how their story
begins. Now all the girls are grown up and some with
families of their own. The girls, Deb, Joni, Trina, and
Eden, have always tried to get together for a girls weekend
but the last few years it hasn't worked out.
Finally, they are on their girl's weekend. They decide it
would be a fun thing to write letters and one by one they
would read them out loud and try and figure out who wrote
it. So after a night of drinking they all sit down and write
their letters. There should be four right, but there are
five. Who wrote two letters and why?
Deb's job is insurance fraud, Joni is a staff writer, Eden
when she is not waitressing, she plays piano at the bar and
Trina teaching sports at her old high school. All are
married; all have children except for Joni. Joni and her
husband have tried but no luck. But none of them seem to be
happy with the way their lives have turned out.
So when the fifth letter is read, none of them want to say
they wrote it. This letter caused a huge fight among the
girls. When the girls return from their weekend, they stay
away from each other until one night they all get together
and finally it comes to blows.
THE FIFTH LETTER is an excellent book about forever
friendships. Nicola Moriarty really gets into the story line
about these four women. From high school through adult life,
these girls always were close. Nicola Moriarty shows how
even though you think you know someone, one little secret
changes everything. I know that sometimes you think you are
doing the right thing with keeping a secret, but secrets
have a way of always come out in the end.
Nicola Moriarty captures at least I feel the relationship of
best friends. I also loved the way she described their
lives, happy and sad. If you have one best friend or more,
it is always a relationship to cherish. THE FIFTH LETTER is
an excellent read for any time of the year.
A fun vacation game turns destructive, exposing dark
secrets, deeply buried grudges, and a shocking betrayal in
Nicola Moriarity’s intriguing debut.
Four friends . . .
Joni, Deb, Eden, and Trina have been best friends since high
school, sharing a bond that has seen them through their
teenage years and into adulthood. But now, time and
circumstance is starting to pull them apart as careers,
husbands, and babies get in the way. As their yearly
vacation becomes less of a priority—at least for three of
the women—how can Joni find a way to draw the four of them
back together?
Four secrets . . .
During a laughter and wine-filled night, the women dare one
another to write anonymous letters, spilling their deepest,
darkest secrets. But the fun game turns devastating,
exposing cracks in their lives and the friendship they
share. Each letter is a dark confession revealing shocking
information. A troubled marriage? A substance abuse problem?
A secret pregnancy? A heartbreaking diagnosis?
Five letters . . .
Late on one of their last nights together, after the other
three have gone to bed, Joni notices something in the
fireplace—a burnt, crumpled, nearly destroyed, sheet of
paper that holds the most shattering revelation of all. It
is a fifth letter—a hate-filled rant that exposes a vicious,
deeply hidden grudge that has festered for decades. But who
wrote it? Which one of them has seethed with resentment all
these years? What should Joni do?
Best friends are supposed to keep your darkest secrets. But
the revelations Joni, Deb, Eden and Trina have shared will
ripple through their lives with unforeseen consequences . .
. and things will never be the same.
