With Friends Like These - By Sally Koslow
On the back cover:
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, through their ties remain strong.
Quincy, a Midwestern introvert, is trying to overcome a set of tragedies by hunting for the perfect home; Tallia, 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 ah wicked set of life rules, is confronting her forties alone.
When Jules gives her new boyfriend the inside scoop of 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?
My thoughts:
This book was only okay, it felt like a cheap Candace Bushnell knock-off. 4 friends, all living in New York - I feel like I have read 10 of these books already, and this one was missing what the others seemed to have.
My rating: 2 out of 5.
