"All I Need," is a wonderfully written novel. Michelle, Randi and Umi are three long-time friends, who have built a strong sister based relationship. These three women are very different and unique in themselves, but they share in their love for one another. Michelle is a housewife and who has spent years wrapped into being a wife and mother. Michelle starts looking at her friends lives and begin feeling emptiness inside, when suddenly a horrifying incident strikes and changes her life instantly. Randi who is a researcher for a major newspaper gets wrapped up in raging hormones, which backfires on her. Umi has an advertisement career and she feels high in the clouds. Umi only wanting an elite prestigious man, soon finds out that a man with money doesn't always bring happiness.

Jacquie is definitely on my list of great storytellers. This novel will have you laughing and crying, oooohing and awwwhing, happy and even outraged. The characterization is so vivid, you feel as though you know each one of them. You will feel their pain and share in their happiness as you walk through their lives with them.

This novel is about the friendship of Randi Michelle and Omi. Each one has something different to offer their long time friendship. Omi is the career women in the group - who finds out not all kings come with shining armour. Michelle is happy being a wife and mother until tragedy strikes sending her in the arms of a tabboo relationship - Randi bored with being a researcher for the New York Times seeks her satisfication in the office but not doing office work. All three of these women show us what it means to be a true friend and how to rise above the bad. This book is a must read for everyone looking to strengthen their relationship with someone close to them.

I was hooked from the first page. I enjoyed the twists and turns in the lives of these characters - couldn't put it down. I am hoping there will be a sequel; it would be interesting to see what happens in the next phase of their lives.

"All I Need" is an excellent novel. It really made me take a look at my best friends and our friendship with one another. Most authors overlook the importance of friendship, but "All I Need" is in a category of its own. This novel was filled with occasional melancholy, humor and I found it to be unique and thoroughly entertaining.

If you're a "girlfriend" then you've got to get this book. Randi, Umi, and Michelle know each other inside and out and probably better than they know themselves. Their friendships have sustained a lot but as soon as one of them speaks their mind hurt sets in.
The question is will the friendship last through the hurt? We all have "relationships" like this and it's interesting to see one actually played out on paper. The book is beautifully written and is straight from the heart. Jacquie Moore did an excellent job. I can't wait to read her second book.

"ALL I NEED" was an excellent read. It kept me glued to the book from beginning to end. I hated to put the book down! Anyone who has Close friends should read this. I would love to read a sequel. I really identified with this book. In fact, I bought the book for my closest girlfriend. It was great!
