Hey
and welcome back. Today is another book recommendation. My last one was on Hate List by Jennifer Brown which you can check out HERE
Best friend and your fiance sleep toegther and have a child! Check
You dont find out for three years! Check
After two years away your best friend contacts you with the news she is dying and wants you to look after and adopt her child! Check
My Best Friend's Girl is about 32 year old marketing manager Kamryn, who on her 32nd birthday receives a card from her best friend saying that she is dying. When Kamryn visit's Adele she finds out how bad she is and that Adele wants Kamryn to adopt her daughter Tegan.
Through out the rest of the book it shows the struggles that Kamryn face's. Little things such as shampoo, to much larger things such as seeing how much abuse that Tegan has suffered at the hands of her grandpaents and the fact that she is a black woman raising a white child. Finding love again after heartbreak and having your ex fiance come back into your life
My Best Friend's Girl really pulls at the heart strings. It deals so well with relationships breaking down, lost friendships, illness, abuse, friendship and relationships rekindle, and race.
I like how Dorothy Koomson has captured how hard it is for one person to go through all of that. She didn't shy away from the heartache that Kamryn went through.
I also like that Kamryn had all of this happen to her yet finds a way to try and make it ok. I like how Kamryn is so forgiving and how she knows it's the right thing to do to look after Teagan because it can't be easy.
The book is so beautifully written. It's a page turner that you don't want to put down. It makes you think What would I do in that situation. I don't know if I could be as forgiving as Kamryn is
