L.A. Women
by Ella Berman
What it takes to succeed in L.A. if you are a Woman. (4/7/2025)
I was a little confused by what the main story line was in this book. Lane and her insecurities and ambitions to be a widely acclaimed and highly honored writer. Charlie and his successful career but at what cost. Scotty and his betrayal of Lane. Gala and her free spirit and where it would lead her. Gabriel - a train wreck that you can't stop looking at.

It also started feeling like a mystery, which I love a good mystery, so my focus tended to lean this way. What happened to Gala? Well, what happened to Gala was very anti-climactic and why didn't anyone figure that out sooner? I also did not feel Lane writing a book about Gala was the ultimate betrayal. What Gala and Scotty did was the ultimate betrayal. Anyway, I hope Gala is happy with her decisions, but I was mainly vested in Lane and her girls. I did enjoy reading about the L.A. culture, really no surprised though, and how women have to work twice as hard as men to succeed. No surprise there either.
Making Friends Can Be Murder
by Kathleen West
I wish my name was Sarah Jones (3/10/2025)
What a fun book. A little mystery, a little romance, a little comedy and a life lesson about finding oneself. What's not to love. All made this a very enjoyable book. At first, I was thinking what have I committed to, but I was quickly drawn into the story when the FBI came into the picture. Oh, to be named Sarah Jones and be able to socialize with this diverse group of women.

I also enjoyed the different generations represented in this book not to mention the different backgrounds of the characters, which I felt were well developed. I mean come on; Sister Mary Theresa was the icing on the cake. This book showed how important friendships can be and how important family can be.
