Description de l’éditeur
The acclaimed author of Almost Doesn’t Count, The Ties that Bind, and Loose Ends now explores the bonds among four women and the secret confessions that could put their friendship at risk.
Meet Lexie, Meshell, Tonya, and Tracee—single, successful, and fierce women who happen to be best friends. Devoted divas since college, they’ve bonded over a monthly ritual to regroup, hang out, and keep it real. With a little wine, a little drama, and a lot of laughs, they discuss their dreams, ambitions, betrayals, families, and without a doubt, the men in their lives that come and go. But this night out arrives with a twist.
This time, it’s a night of mischievous sexual confessions. For straitlaced Lexie, it’s a revelation that forces her to reconsider her sheltered life, her inhibited past, and her desire to finally lose control. First comes her curious flirtation in a not-so-innocent chatroom. Then comes the dare for Lexie to take her curiosity—and her needs—one thrilling step further, for a personal deliverance that could threaten a longstanding friendship—or bring four women closer to understanding themselves, their men, and their secret passions than ever before.
“[Electa Rome Parks has a] witty and engaging way with words.”—New York Times bestselling author Zane
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Parks's hardcover debut (after three paperback originals) follows Lexie, Meshell, Tracee and Tonya, four best girlfriends who think they know everything about each other. They don't, of course, and what they don't know might hurt them or, at least, strain their bond. The women get together once a month for a night out in Atlanta, during which anything goes and (almost) everything is said. For fear of being judged, each harbors scandalous sex-centric secrets: Alexie, the clique's "conscience," meets a New York City firefighter on the Internet and has a fling with him; Meshell, the outspoken and overstressed attorney, unwinds with anonymous sex; Tracee has a wild exhibitionist streak; and Tonya, the materialist, is having an affair with her boss, a married man with two kids. Prompted by the ladies' revelations and emotional breakthroughs, Meshell and Lexie host an "intervention" instead of their usual night out. The erotic story makes for a fun and fast read, though the rotating first-person narration can get confusing and the ladies end up being more types than characters.
