"A debut novel that pulses with humor and empathy and explores the heart's capacity for forgiveness ... Zadie Anson and Emma Colley have been best friends since their early twenties, when they first began navigating serious romantic relationships amid the intensity of medical school. Now they're happily married wives and mothers with successful careers--Zadie as a pediatric cardiologist and Emma as a trauma surgeon. Their lives in Charlotte, North Carolina are chaotic but fulfilling, until the return of a former colleague unearths a secret one of them has been harboring for years. As chief resident, Nick Xenokostas was the center of Zadie's life--both professionally and personally--during a tragic chain of events during her third year of medical school that she has long since put behind her. Nick's unexpected reappearance during a time of new professional crisis shocks both women into a deeper look at the difficult choices they made at the beginning of their careers. As it becomes evident that Emma must have known more than she revealed about circumstances that nearly derailed both their lives, Zadie begins to question everything she thought she knew about her closest friend"--… (meer)

Mixed feelings.

Feels mostly like a beach read but there are some underlying heavy plot points that weigh things down. I found the final chapters quite over the top and think the author took things a bit too far with one of the characters.

I give this a borrow recommendation not a buy.

What I really loved about this book was the way the author brought her medical background into play and made scenes with the two main characters (both doctors) so vivid and realistic. The best part of the book! Emma and Zady were best friends in medical school in rural Kentucky, and now, a decade later, are still friends in North Carolina, having married men they love and started families. This is primarily a story of friendship.

I liked the medical scenes, and found them fascinating. Dr. X (Nick) was a real creeper to me. The whole deal of sleeping with his students he was grading was real seedy, then he was sleeping with both best friends at the same time, trying to make one girl feel guilty even a decade later about the suicide of her boyfriend… there was just nothing likeable about him for me.

Trigger Warnings: suicide, death of a child, power differential in relationship with potential for abuse, infidelity

Please excuse typos/name misspellings. Entered on screen reader. ( )

Thank you to the author for this book and also Bloom With Tall Poppy Writers FB page.

This is the second book I've read from this author and though it isn't as good as her first one it was a good book.

There were a lot of medical terms which were described well. I also enjoyed the friendship and the camaraderie between friend and co-workers, both doctors, Emma and Zadie. Thing get a little dicey but it all works out in the end. ( )

If you're a fan of medical dramas like ER or Grey's Anatomy, you'll enjoy this fast-paced debut novel. Having lived in Louisville during the 90s, I loved the 'Ville references like Dog Hill in Cherokee Park and the Twig & Leaf! Can't wait to tackle her sophomore novel, The Antidote for Everything.

Gorgeous cover art! ( )
