29. Thursdays at Coconuts by Beth Carter
Prompt: book with a month or day of the week in the title
Alexandra, a beautiful marketer with a “touch” of OCD, falls for a bad-boy cop who's married and possibly stalking her. But he sure is sexy. Alex tries to stay at arm’s length after she puts her job—and life—on the line for the officer who isn’t always a gentleman.
Hope hates her name, looks, and frizzy hair. As a high school counselor, she dishes out sage advice to students, yet can’t see she’s enabling her deadbeat, stuck-in-the-seventies hippie parents. After tragedy strikes, she reexamines their relationship and discovers a secret that almost went to the grave.
Friends since high school, the thirty-something women meet every Thursday at Coconuts for their own form of friendapy.
My Review:
One of the best books I read in 2017.
Three friends get together every Thursday at a bar/restaurant for "friendapy." They share the ups and downs of their lives, all the while dishing out advice and endless support for each other. This book is the perfect definition of friendship goals. The characters and their circumstances were well developed, even if it was a bit clichéd at time. Suzy, Alexandra, and Hope are all successful in their careers, but not necessarily successful in the romance category. There were funny times, crazy times, happy times, and sad times, but they were by each other through thick and thin. I appreciated how Beth decided to write from the perspective of all three, as I think it definitely aided in adding dimension to the story development. It also featured interesting side plots in the midst of the main theme involving the three friends.
I only have two more book reviews to post before doing my 2018 Book Awards.
Happy Reading and Keep on Writing!
