Last night, my darling husband got the girls ready for bed while I finished reading a book. There are few books that I’ve found hard to put down. But, I could not put down Cassandra King’s The Same Sweet Girls until I finished it!
The novel is about six women who would not have met or been likely to become friends if were not for a common location that brought them together (college roommate assignments). The novel begins when they are all in their 50s facing major life challenges. It is a wonderful novel about the friendship and relationships and good times and bad times and weaknesses and strengths and heartache and determination of a group of women who are all so different and who cannot imagine life without each other.
It’s a wonderful book that I highly recommend that you read and then, share with the same sweet girls in your life.
A few other books that I could not put down...
Safely Home by Randy Alcorn
Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck
