--Booklist"A thoroughly upbeat and fully entertaining novel from cover to cover." --Midwest Book Review
"Brunch and Other Obligations is women's fiction at its finest! A
tender, witty, heartfelt novel that had me laughing out loud in one
chapter and reaching for tissues in the next. With humor, heart, and
hope, Nugent reminds us that, once in a lifetime, if we're very, very
lucky, we just might find a friend who knows us better than we know
ourselves." --Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times best-selling author of The Life List
The only thing reclusive bookworm Nora, high-powered attorney Christina,
and supermom-in-training Leanne ever had in common was their best
friend, Molly. When Molly dies, she leaves mysterious gifts and cryptic
notes for each of her grieving best friends, along with one final
request: that these three mismatched frenemies have brunch together
every month for a year.
Filled with heartwrenching scenes and witty prose, Brunch and Other Obligations
explores the intricate dynamics of girlhood acquaintances who are
forced to reconnect as women. This upbeat novel reminds readers that
there's hope for getting through the hard times in life--with a lot of
patience, humor, and a standing brunch date.
