Editorial Reviews

Review

"Erin Kaye!gave up a career in finance to write, and that, along with her different background, gives her a breadth that many other popular writers here don't have - and makes her one of the best." - Ann Dunne, Irish Independent Review "Larne writer Erin Kaye has produced a captivating story full of gritty problems and courageous characters. Readers will be rooting for them all the way." - Evening Herald "Way beyond the realms of chick-lit, this very readable book delves into the lives of mothers, daughters, aunts and lovers. Great writing skills here and a most enjoyable read." - Valerie Cox, Evening Herald Praise for The Art of Friendship: ' Wonderfully written, this tale about the trials and tribulations of these women's lives is both moving and captivating.' -Closer Magazine --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

This review is from: Art of Friendship (Paperback)

I found this book very enjoyable and stayed up late to finish it one night. The characters are very believeable and I wanted to see how everything turned out. I don't want to give out any spoilers so I'm not going into any details. I would recommend this book, especially to women. It captures the essence of friendship between women, including the times where they fall out.
