About this ebook
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery comes an unforgettable beach read about the unbreakable bond between mothers and daughters and finding friendship with the unlikeliest person, perfect for fans of Elin Hilderbrand and Emily Giffin…
As the owner of Twisted, Seattle’s best salons, Erica knows that the sharpest cuts come from the people we love. She’s terrified that she’s losing her teen daughter, Summer, to her “other” family, especially to her stepmom, Allison.
All it takes to blow up Allison’s happy life is one collect call. From prison. Her beloved husband, Peter, has been arrested, leaving Allison pregnant, broke, scared and alone with a toddler. But when her stepdaughter ferrets out the truth, the teen rushes to the last person Allison wants to ask for help—her husband’s battle-ax ex.
Erica would do anything for Summer, even take in the woman her daughter loves like a second mom. Allison feels intimidated by Erica—a woman who would never let herself become so dependent on a man. But the more time they spend together, the more Allison realizes what Erica truly needs is a friend. Can two women who married the same man move beyond their complicated past and rethink what it means to be family?

Oh my goodness!!! what an amazing book! I couldn't wait to read it and now I'm sad it's done!! I want it to go on forever! I completely fell in love with Killion! What an amazing man! He is so perfect for Erica. She needs someone who strong and allows her to be herself. But someone who can also take care of and cherish her. I really enjoyed the relationship dynamic between the women and Summer. Watching them build relationships built on mutual respect and eventually love and real friendships was beautiful. This book was everything it promised and so much more. Again, I'm sad I finished it so quickly, but I simply couldn't put it down!!

Erica is my hero I loved this book. Erica is officially my hero and I want to be just like her when I grow up. I laughed and became so mad I wanted to strangle a character. I just love how Susan pulls you right in to the story so that you feel like you are one of the characters

So much happening in this newest book by Susan Mallery and now that I have finished, found myself wishing for more to continue the story. Loved the interaction between characters and the problems, solutions and final chapter of the book. A definite addition to your TBR list, do not miss this one.
