The Scoop

I enjoyed this book very much. The women are interesting, each with very different faults and quirks. They are true friends that support each other but aren't afraid to say when they believe the other is wrong. They work through their differences and remain friends. They are always looking for adventure and handle many situations in humorous ways. I am looking forward to the next book to see what they will do next.

Welcome Back, Fern!

Being a long time Fern Michaels fan, I found this book to be refreshing and a fun read. The author has always been a great story teller, and I am looking forward to the continuing saga. Not having been a fan of the "Sisterhood" series, this book reminds me of some of the earlier works, of which I have read them all and greatly enjoyed. Looking forward to the development of the cast of characters (my favorite kind of book).

Full of giggles!

I have never read Fern Michaels before. This is a relaxed, easy read that allows one's imagination to enhance the humor. One of those books where I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I am looking forward to reading this new series by Michaels. Hooray for strong adventurous women!

Friends for life

The main character in the new series is Theresa Amelia but Toots to her friends. After what seems like enough morning for her latest husband ( a week) since she has been married eight times she feels that is enough and now she must move on. When she hears a daughter Abby might be out of a job from the gossip magazine where she works Toots decides she has to get involved but not without the help of her three dear friends. Ida who is a little obsessive and her overweight friend Mavis who will not go anywhere without Cocco her chihuahua and last but not least is Sophie the smoker. One call from Toots and they all come running to offer there help They are wonderful friends and will do anything for Toots who has helped everyone of them in different ways now want to help make sure that her dear sweet independent Abby does not loose her job. The plan is to purchase the paper at a cost of ten million dollars without telling Abby. Toots makes a deal to purchase the paper for ten million dollars but when the publisher takes the money and runs to the Caynman Islands that is when all the fun, love and help pull this team together to make it work. As always Ms. Michaels is a favorite of mine and once you read this she will become a favorite of yours also. The only problem is once you finish it you are gonna be frustrated like me to find out what happens next. This is destined to be a NY Times best seller book in know time at all. I recommend the book and it is a wonderful feeling to know like in the sisterhood friends do jump to help those in trouble. A great read now how long do we have to wait for the sequel???????????

Hysterical!!!!! Lots of Laughs

Absolutely loved this book and can't wait for the next one. I laughed all the way through it and could hardly put it down once I started it. Looking forward to reading the rest of them.
