Some Women

March 1, 2016
Annabelle, Piper, and Mackenzie are an unlikely trio of Connecticut women, but finding each other at the exact rightor wrongpoint in their lives accelerates a casual friendship into something truly special. Annabelle is in the midst of a divorce, the absent father of Piper's daughter is back in town, and Mackenzie's failure to produce a grandchild for her battering ram of a mother-in-law is straining her relationship with her husband. Confronting infertility, infidelity and indecision, the three women draw strength from each other (and the occasional glass of wine). Liebert's fourth novel continues her examination of female friendships put to the test by modern problems, filling the pages with multifaceted and genuine characters. Liebert's strength lies in the relatability of her heroines, women whom readers will recognize in themselves and those around them, and she focuses on authentic dialogue and heartfelt emotion. Fans of Jennifer Close, Jane Green, and Elin Hilderbrand will adore this optimistic and candid novel that will make readers grateful for their girlfriends.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2016, American Library Association.)
