Synopsis

Are they really bitches? That depends who you ask…Rachel, Clare, Tina and Jane are four friends awaiting the arrival of a fifth at a secluded Cape Cod bungalow where they spend an all-girls weekend every summer. But this time the fifth woman doesn’t show. Instead she sends a note that reads – “I’ve run off with one of your men.”

Has she? Is it a prank? Do they run for the phone or try to enjoy the weekend without her?

Fun, flirty and filled with Harris’ trademark snappy dialogue and quirky characters forced to reevaluate their marriages, their friendships and their memories, The Bitches of Brooklyn has been called “a cross between Pretty Little Liars and Sex and the City.”

Elaine Viets, author of Catnapped! has said “the best female buddy book yet. I dare you to put it down!”

Inspired by a classic Hollywood film, The Bitches of Brooklyn is for fans of Sophie Kinsella, Susan Isaacs and every woman who’s ever had a best friend and wondered…is she really??

Review

I have always loved Rosemary’s books and this one was no exception! 5 friends from high school that still have that connection many years later and ups and downs in their lives. This year they make their pilgrimage to the Cape but one friend doesn’t show up and the note she sends is rather mysterious and makes all women re-evaluate their relationships with their men. I thought this was a great story, lots of ups and downs and I kept wondering if Abby really was with one of the men and if she was, which one?

Favorite quote from the book: Who’s her carrier? Dixie cup and string?

We give this 4 1/2 paws up and highly recommend the book!
