Summary

Chaurisse and Dana have a lot in common. They both grew up in Atlanta, they shop at the same stores, visit the same restaurants. But unlike Chaurisse, Dana knows the truth: that the girls share the same father. A father with two families, one of which he is determined to keep secret. When the girls meet and become friends, the unsteady balance of both their lives is threatened. Theirs is a relationship destined to explode.

The ending of the audiobook is missing

The audiobook stops abruptly and unsatisfactorily. I looked online, found a synopsis and discovered that the ending is missing.

Other than the missing ending I had enjoyed the book…………..but it would have been good to be able to listen to the entire novel.

A book about secrets but above all a book about love. Never judge a person because everyone has a story.

The ending...

I really enjoyed this story. The ending came so quickly though. It was a realistic ending but it happened so quickly and maybe I wanted fairytale...
