Wanting a novel that shares the joys and experiences of a Sisterhood of friends ?

Review: Kindred Spirits - Sarah Strohmeyer -2011
Are you a fan of those novels that celebrate the love of a sisterhood ? Do you admire those novels that have formed a group of friends who can overcome anything together , they share their deep and darkest secrets , drink wine or in the case of Kindred Spirits - martinis and cocktails ? For me , personally I've never really been one too have many close friends and sometimes when I read these novels ,I've envied the relationship and I always wonder that when I'm older - will I meet a group of friends who will become my sisterhood ? Until then, I can live through the experiences of sisterhoods with novels like Kindred Spirits by Sarah Strohmeyer.
Kindred Spirits follows the journey of three friends - all in their 40's/50's and begins when the fourth member of their group Lynne committed suicide after a long hard battle with cancer. Leaving instructions for the threesome to clear her closet , Lynne has left for her friends three letters - One for Mary-Ann, Beth and Carol- the remaining of the sisterhood , One for her mother Eunice and one for a daughter that she gave up thirty years ago- Julia.  Lynne's dying wishes was that her three friends go on a road-trip to visit and pass the news of her death onto her aunt Therese and her mother Eunice - both whom Lynne has not seen in over thirty years and the last wish was to find her Julia . So the three begin a journey which as we will see is not just about fulfilling Lynne's wishes but a journey to self-discovery and the fact that life is only just beginning for these three women. A Journey which will see flashbacks of their lives , memories of families , secrets opened up and revealed.
Kindred Spirits by Sarah Strohmeyer is a lovely novel that for whom anyone who loves the tale of Sisterhood and the bond for strong friends will enjoy.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
