Solid, but not much conflict

Laura and Helen Izmani Baynor meet on a rollercoaster That is stuck on the highest part. "If You're Not Following your heart, you're a chump," Laura tells Helen. And Both of them do during the Following years. Helen Becomes a famous stage actress, Laura and her cocaine addiction and battles Becomes a chef. Twenty-three years later, They meet again When Helen searches a private chef for her and her teenaged twins.

We learn a lot about the characters' backgrounds and really get to know them (we see them in Their professions and in another relationship) before they fall in love and become a couple.

I like the way Karin Kallmaker portrays addiction. It's a monster That You can never really defeat once and for all, but you can keep it at bay.

It's a solid novel, but it does not have a lot of conflict. An entertaining, not too short read with good character development.

Editing is good with a few exceptions.
