About this listen

Chaurisse and Dana have a lot in common. They both grew up in Atlanta, they shop at the same stores, visit the same restaurants. But unlike Chaurisse, Dana knows the truth: that the girls share the same father. A father with two families, one of which he is determined to keep secret. When the girls meet and become friends, the unsteady balance of both their lives is threatened. Theirs is a relationship destined to explode.

Superb narration

Thoroughly enjoyed. The story is brought to life beautifully by the narrators. 4.5 stars only because the ending lacked something for me however, I did love this book and I do recommend!
