About this listen

Things are falling apart in the Richardson household. Angry arguments between Celine and her husband, Keith, have become routine. She resents that he's working long hours and staying out all night, and he accuses her of not giving him the attention he deserves. Their marriage is at a crossroads, and Celine worries how her 10-year-old daughter, Kassie, will be affected.

But the situation turns devastating when Celine is diagnosed with breast cancer. As her relationship with Keith deteriorates, Celine worries that she'll be left to navigate the difficult process of cancer treatment alone. But comfort and support come in the form of Celine's best friend, Lauren. They've been attached at the hip since they were children, and it is Lauren who's there for Celine in her darkest moments.

Now Celine will be forced to make tough decisions - about her marriage and otherwise - and for the first time in her life, she wants to give up. Lauren vows to help by any means necessary and makes the kind of sacrifice only a best friend can. But will it be too late?

Better than Expected

This was a very good listen. Unexpected twists and turns, but thats pretty much life. I thoroughly enjoyed. Good to know there are still some people who truly will be with you through the ups and downs in life.

When Friendship Outlasts the Vows

An emotional read that explores the depths of marriage, betrayal, and unwavering friendship. While the story starts with the promise of lifelong love, it quickly shifts into a tale of heartbreak—where “’til death do us part” is tested in the most painful way. The main character faces abandonment during her greatest time of need, revealing how unfaithfulness can cut deeper than illness.

What stands out, however, is the power of true friendship. Even when love fails, the bond between best friends proves to be a lifeline. Though the pacing at times feels rushed and the emotional arcs could be more developed, the novel still delivers a reminder that the people who stand by you in the darkest moments aren’t always the ones who promised to.
