Girls' Night Out by authors Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke is a book I could not put down or stop reading from the beginning until the end! Oh. My. Goodness! As I write this review I am suffering a book withdrawal or psychological hangover and I feel sad for the characters.
I will just post an overview without spoilers, but this book conveys the loving ties between friends and also the searing conflicts which can tear the friendship apart. In the story of best friends Ashley, Natalie, and Lauren, life has taken them in an unexpected direction. Is there a point when the friends you have loved as sisters become too close and more of a burden to sustain than you can manage?
This story is written in segments of the past and present among the three girls. Secrets which they kept from each other will be the underlying cause of misunderstandings and bitterness. Lauren has been estranged from Ashley and Natalie since the death of her husband, Geoff. There is a little mystery there. Ashley and Natalie have become successful in a business venture together with the original design and marketing of a cordless blow dryer named, BloMe! Recently Natalie's circumstances have changed and her secret is crushing her and she needs money immediately. Ashley is thrilled to have an offer from Revlon to purchase their product and the patent to be included and marketed in the Revlon name, but she does not want to give up the thriving energy of running her own company. This causes tension between Ashley and Natalie. So, Ashley decides to plan a girls vacation to Mexico in order to reconnect the friendship with Lauren and to resolve the decision with Natalie about refusing to accept the Revlon offer.
In beautiful Tulum, Mexico each of the girls have to face their hidden waves of anger, jealousies, and unsettled feelings which have built up over the years. What should have been a healing and wonderful retreat, becomes a place of misery and death to one of the friends because of a mysterious man, Marcos who forms an attachment to Ashley and sends the whole plan way off track!
Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book.
