Book Review: When Girlfriends Make Choices by Savannah Page
I received a copy of WHEN GIRLFRIENDS MAKE CHOICES by Savannah Page in exchange for an honest review.
Having also read When Girlfriends Step Up by the same author, I was so excited to get back into the series with these wonderful characters and hopefully get to know Lara a little better. Lara is a successful ad executive and works long hours and although she is really into her work, it appears that she is also into something else a little more – a co-worker. Turns out that she has been having an affair with a male co-worker for quite some time and it turns out that he is married and has two kids. Now, in her defense, she didn’t know all of this going into the relationship but now that she is already in it, it is hard to step away. In a way she becomes obsessed with Paul even though she knows that it is wrong and her girlfriends don’t waste anytime letting her know that she is in the wrong. Will she finally come to her senses? Or at what cost is she willing to go to finally get her happy ever after?
Like I said, I am already a fan of Savannah Page and although I really enjoyed the writing, I felt conflicted reading about an affair that involves a man with a wife and two kids. As a new mom myself, it definitely hurt my heart but I had to tell myself to not take the book seriously. Once I did that, I was ok with everything and actually really found the writing really interesting. All too often we are told stories of affairs and infidelity from the victims perspective, but not here. She had the wool pulled over her eyes early on and once she finally found out the truth, she was already in too deep. So, I definitely felt for her in that aspect because it was really unfair. Once again, I loved all of the girlfriends and their relationship and all of their input. Overall, this book is really honest and is a good read.
