I found a strong connection with the portrayal of female friendships in Shari's novels, especially with Alice's relationships. Val, a character inspired by Shari's grandmothers, adds depth to the stories. I hope to see more of these characters in future novels. #SharisNovels #FemaleFriendship #WomenSupportingWomen #CharacterDevelopment #FutureNovels

Review
I thoroughly enjoyed getting acquainted with all four characters in this book and found myself unable to put it down during this long weekend. The story revolves around Alice, Rory, Val, and Sophie. What really stood out to me was the common thread that ties them all together - Val's unfortunate loss of her rings, which sets off a chain of events leading to a deep connection among them. The multiple points of view offered in the narrative allow readers to empathize with each character in unique ways. I particularly loved the dynamic between Val, Carly, and Carol, as well as the positive portrayal of social media and its helpful impact. Overall, this novel is a heartwarming and uplifting read that is sure to bring a smile to your face.
