Two friends. A lifetime of secrets. One sparkling story.

1967 Iowa. Nursing school roommates BettyKay and Kitty don’t have much in common. BettyKay has risked her family’s disapproval to pursue her dreams away from her small town. Cosmopolitan Kitty has always relied on her beauty and smarts to get by and to hide a painful secret. Yet the two share a determination to prove themselves in a changing world, forging an unlikely bond on a campus unkind to women.

Before their first year is up, tragedy strikes, and the women’s paths are forced apart. But against all odds, a decades-long friendship forms, persevering through love, marriage, failure, and death, from the jungles of Vietnam to the glamorous circles of Hollywood. Until one snowy night leads their relationship to the ultimate crossroads.

Fifty years later, two estranged sisters are shocked when a famous movie star shows up at their mother's funeral. Over one tumultuous weekend, the women must reckon with a dazzling truth about their family that will alter their lives forever...

Definitely worth the credit!

This was such a fantastic book. The characters were distinct, vibrant and believable. They weren’t perfect and they sometimes made bad or painful decisions, but it never felt contrived. This book has grit, and it delves into both the glamour and dark side of Hollywood. And at the heart of it all is a female friendship for the ages.

I’ve struggled with the last several books I’ve read, but I tore through this one in a day or two. Definitely recommend!

A good story

An easy story to get into, although I guessed the secret pretty early on. Even so, still worth a listen. I just wish there had been more lesbians.

A good read

I enjoyed this book. It had just enough suspense to make you want to keep listening. It also make you cheer for the characters.

Great beach read

Nice listen

Enjoyed the characters, plot, story. Narrator was excellent ! Will look for more from this author.

The incredible friendship of women!!

I really enjoyed the story- will recommend to my friends. The characters were real and relatable.

Great story

I loved this story of Friends that are more like Family. Sister Friends are truly a real thing

The heartbreak of friendships

Women are such complicated beings and friendships. What are they really? Sometimes I guess you do get a second chance for happiness.

No spoilers here

I love this book, I love Andi Arndt's narration of this book, I am obsessed with this book, just finished it, feeling kinda sad I finished it, you know that feeling? When a book is so beyond amazing that when it ends you feel sad? That's how I feel. Finished it last night, talked about it all day with my sister.
I will listen to this book over and over and over and I will appreciate it every time.
