This was a great story of four women living the high life. When life's havoc came for each of them, they all responded differently. They turned their backs on each other, snubbing Meredith as she was the first to struggle.
Meredith rose up against the shun to her and her family from the affluent neighbors. She gathered all of her strength and ensured her family could endure the storm that came their way.
This story was a reminder that life isn't always roses, but how you respond to the difficult situations helps define your character and outlook in life.
I loved this novel and the stories of each woman presented. Also, how they mended their friendship at the end to be more meaningful and less shallow.
