I really liked that this book wasn’t based on romance, but on the friendship of 5 woman and what happens when one of them mysteriously misses their annual girls-only trip.
The dynamic between the 4 friends we follow is really funny to read, I laughed out loud quite a lot during the scene where the girls go to the restaurant Minetta’s, and they obviously get along really well. Yet they all have their insecurities that they hide from each other. I think Rosemary has got the realism for this group spot on. Their group title ‘The Bitches of Brooklyn’ works well with this, as they all have a slight bitchy banter, but it is self-derogatory at the same time.
I liked all the characters, though I would have liked a bit more about Rachel, of the 4 main characters, I thought Rachel was the least developed, until the end. I can only hope there is a sequel to this book, and that maybe she will be a more central character there, I would love to read another book about this group of friends.
My favourite thing about this book though, was the ending. I can;t say this about many books, but the ending completely took me by surprise, and even as I am writing this, I am facepalming myself at missing any clues.
This book is a real feel good story about friendship, and I cannot wait to pick another of Rosemary’s books up soon!
