And after witnessing her friends' imploding relationships, single mother Rochelle is content to do life on her own, but her heart doesn't seem to get the memo when a new man unexpectedly enters the picture.Guided by Yvette's spirit, the friends must lean on each other now more than ever before as they learn to navigate their new normal, take unexpected risks and live life with no reservations.Fans of Jane Green, Nancy Thayer, and Kimberla Lawson Roby will laugh, cry and cheer for the best friends in No Reservations, a captivating story of enduring friendships tested by life's harshest trials--including cancer, infertility, infidelity, and the challenges of pursuing dreams.

Goodreads review by Shannon

I went into this one expecting a romance and it may have done a disservice to my reading experience since this was definitely more of a women's fiction story about female friendship, the hardships of marriage/relationships and infertility/found family. Good on audio, it was still an entertaining boo......more

Sisterhood. Love. Grief. Redemption. Wow! Such an amazing story.......more


Quotes

'In this heartfelt tale about the power of friendship, Lister (Closer to You) examines the bonds among a group of middle-aged women, one of whom is dying and pleads with each of her friends to follow her instructions for finding fulfillment in their lives...The fluid narrative builds momentum as each friend charts a path to keep her promise to Yvette. Though the roads they traverse are often rocky, the destinations they reach are triumphant. This will enchant Lister's existing fans and gain her many new ones.' Publishers Weekly
