I received a copy of Love or Money? by Carrie Stone in exchange for an honest review. Felicity Harroway is a successful and driven woman, but when her values are questioned and a wrench is thrown into her carefully thought-out life plans, she decides to give something new a try – an adventure. Felicity’s best friend and housewife is struggling with her own issues regarding her husband and his new secretive ways. Is her marriage falling apart while she is pregnant? Felicity’s mother tries to help both woman stay sane and find happiness, but she is searching for her own happily ever after, because it is never too late. And Felicity’s rediscovered friend Sylvia tries to make a relationship work with her celebrity boyfriend – but will one mistake cost her not only her relationship but her friendship with Felicity?
I enjoyed Love or Money? and each characters story. Felicity is definitely the leading lady, but the supporting characters had just as much going on and were entertaining to read about. At times I struggled with Sylvia’s story, and even thought maybe it wasn’t entirely necessary to the book, but it did add some drama. Felicity and Zara’s friendship had me scratching my head a few times when they seemed to be contradicting each other, but I enjoyed Zara’s story and was interested in how it would end. One thing that was a bit of let-down was Felicity’s new relationship that she gets into. I don’t want to give too much away, but I thought the title would really pose a question for her, and in the end it really didn’t, which was a bit of disappointment. It wrapped up too neat and tidy for me to really appreciate the journey. With that being said, I did still enjoy the book and the writing, just a few plot points weren’t for me.
