I’ve read all of the books written by both authors and knew that readers would be in for a treat when the two friends decided to write a book together. This emotional and beautifully written book is about friendships at their highs and lows and reinforces my belief that female friendships are so important and help us get through the highs and lows of our lives.
Holly, Anna and Zoe met in college and almost immediately became best friends. They helped each other through school, and once they graduated, they started taking a special trip together each year. Their trips were important to them until that last trip to Greece, when Holly and Anna had a major disagreement and haven’t talked to each other for 5 years. Now Zoe is dead and is asking her two best friends to scatter her ashes at all of the places that they went on vacations in their 20s. Holly is reluctant to go – she doesn’t want to be around Anna and hates to leave her husband and son for two weeks. Anna is anxious to go. She misses Holly as a friend and hopes that the friendship can be rekindled. Zoe planned the trip before she died, hoping that her two friends could forgive each other and themselves and find their feelings for each other. Holly finally agreed to go, but she wasn’t going to be nice to Anna despite their travels together. At each city on their whirlwind tour, some of the barriers between them began to break down, but would the truce hold in Greece, the place where their friendship imploded? Would Zoe’s plan work, or would Anna and Holly go back to being strangers and ex-friends?
This book is a look at friendships at their best and their worst and the importance of female friendships. I loved these characters, and I loved Zoe’s plan to bring her friends back together after her death. There were a lot of secrets shared, and the final HEA ending showed both women not only forgiving each other but also forgiving themselves. Fantastic read!
