Description

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

“Mike is as clever, astute, and perceptive as he is brilliant. He has beautifully pulled off the three female voices in this novel...with tremendous wisdom and insight.”  — Jane Green, New York Times-bestselling author

A tender and insightful story of friendship and love, heartbreak and renewal, played out in the lives of three unforgettable women, from the cohost of ESPN's Mike and Mike in the Morning. 

Brooke has been happily married to her college sweetheart for fifteen years. Even after the C-section, the dog poop, the stomach viruses and the coffee breath, Scott always winks at her in just the right moments. That is why, for her beloved, romantic, successful husband’s fortieth birthday, she is giving him pictures. Of herself. Naked.

Newlywed Samantha learns of her husband’s cheating heart when she finds the goods on his computer.

High-powered career woman Katherine works with heartbreaker Phillip, the man who hurt her early on in her career.          

Brooke, Samantha, and Katherine don’t know each other, but their stories are about to intertwine in ways no one could have imagined.

And all three are about to discover the power of friendship to conquer adversity, the satisfaction of unexpected delights, the incredible difference one human being can have on other lives—and that they have all they could ask for, as long as they have each other.

    Once in awhile a book comes along and it moves you! This is one of those books that I'm grateful to have read. It reminds us of the power within each of us to choose our life. It reminds us that we will hurt, but we will heal if we choose to.

    This book is about 3 miserable women that all end up with Breast cancer. Hard to keep up with which character the story is about because it constantly character hops. The sample was much better than the rest of the book.
  • BORING!

    This book is extremely boring, it's starts okay but just goes downhill. There is so much useless filler, I skimmed over much of it and really didn't miss anything. I couldn't even finish it don't waste your time or money.

    For the first part of the book I wondered how the three women's stories would connect, and all of my guesses were wrong. The story was beautifully written and thought-provoking, sharing a glimpse of these women's experiences and the very different ways each needed to respond for her own happiness and mental health.

    I wasn't sure if I'd like this book due to its content and the fact that the author was a male. But I was pleasantly surprised! It was a good story that keep my interest but did leave me with a few questions. It made me laugh and cry and that's what makes for a good book.
  • Amazing book for women!

    It's hard to believe this was written by a sports guy! It is truly one of the greatest books I've ever read. The stories are all so real! We all know someone similar to each character in the book. I highly recommend this book to any woman who understands how important a friend is!

    I bought this and got it signed at barnes&noble and met Mike..real nice guy. Funny too! I watch his show here and there, great book! the way he writes these women is just amazing! and I'm a guy :P haha. I think anyone can enjoy this book if they just have a little patience. Alot of the funding is going to the V Foundation i believe. I know its going to support a good cause. So you can rest assured you bought a book that can not only save someone's life, but maybe give you a new perspective on things! God bless!!
