@duttonbooks

Genre: Contemporary Fiction


Jules and Michelle have been best friends since third grade, when Jules and her single-flighty-absent-always looking for a man-mother moved from Cleveland to a very small southern Alabama town where Michelleโ€™s family has lived for many generations. Now is their mid-twenties these childhood friends live worlds and miles apart. Jules lives in NYC pursuing her dream job of becoming a book editor. Michelle is back home in Alabama working at a jewelry boutique and engaged to her college boyfriend.


So, of course Michelle asks Jules to be Maid-of-Honor! And Jules obviously accepts. BUT . . . she quickly realizes that over the years their dreams and beliefs have shifted apart and in the middle of wedding planning they have quite a few squabbles.


When Jules makes a decision for her future that Michelle can not understand it puts their friendship to the ultimate test. Will even they make it to the wedding still as friends?


Rating: โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ A very solid four stars for this debut. It will have you wanting to call up your best friend. Itโ€™s very relatable to how people grow and change in different seasons of life. And that maybe the people we love the most arenโ€™t on the same paths at the same time; Or maybe they wonโ€™t ever be. And thatโ€™s Ok!!! ๐Ÿ›‘ Stop reading if you do not want a ๐Ÿšจspoilerโ€ฆ


โ€ฆ this book does involve an abortion and disagreement between pro-life and pro-choice. I hate doing spoilers, but I do feel like this may be a trigger for some.


This one is out TODAY 5/18 and I highly recommend you put it on your summer reading list! Thank you @netgalley and to the publisher @duttonbooks for honoring my request to read and review this book. #netgalley #friendsfromhome
