Publisher Description

Kendall's managed to wrangle her grandmother's house free and clear except for the rules. No male roommates. But that's ok; with the right ad she'll pull in some girls, their rent and, if she's lucky, she won't have to go to work any time soon. For their part, Anna, Lelani, and Megan all have their reasons for wanting to move in: Anna has got to get out from under her overprotective parents; Lelani can't take another day in her aunt's tiny crackerbox house overflowing with toddlers and Megan needs a place free of her current roommate from Hades. Though they come with assorted extra baggage filled with broken hearts and dreams, they will discover they also have a vast array of hidden strengths. As they struggle to become the women they want to be, they'll find new hope, and maybe even Kendall will learn a thing or two about life, love and the true meaning of friendship.

"I had never read this author. It started off slow and I had trouble but then it was a fun read. I really liked all the characters and the content was light and fun. I will look for more books by this author. "

— Jodi (4 out of 5 stars)

    " This book is about four very different girls who become roommates. At least three of them are easy to like and the other will make you wish you didn't live with her. Overall, an interesting story with a good premise. The end pretty much leaves you hanging for the next three novels. I assume they will all lead into each other. I will probably look for the next one when it comes out. "

    " This was fun and light. I didn't love it but I didn't hate it. Its a simple becoming friends story. It kind of echos 'sisterhood of the traveling pants' a bit. "

    " Maybe I have just stayed away from the genre of "Christian fiction" too long. This was another disappointment for me. It was mildly amusing, but surprising lacking in....something. Maybe this book wasn't intended to be "Christian" fiction. It was clean, but just lacking somehow. The story is the first in a series. I might be interested enough to read another one. Or maybe not. "

    " She's a Christian writer, which I didn't know. The book was surprisingly good. There are random mentions of God, The Bible, and Being a Christian which I'm not used to in a book, but the plot was cute. "

    " I only give this book 2 stars because I DID finish reading. The characters were very shallow. I really wonder if the author received product kickback because many products were referenced throughout the book. For example: Clinque, Prada. I will not purchase the rest of this series. "

    " After reading some 50 pages of that book, I wondered what made me "buy" it and looking at my kindle history, I got it because if was free at the time. A girly book obviously, the kind I just cannot stomach. Certainly happy I didn't buy it. "
