NEW RELEASE
One Good Friend Deserves Another - Lisa Verge Higgins (2012)
This story centres around four friends, so closely involved in each others' lives that they will stage "an intervention" if they think someone is going off track. Such as Dhara, who has agreed to an arranged marriage to a man she only met 10 days ago - despite the others thinking she is more suited to her ex. And what would the group say if they knew that Kelly had resumed her fling with the guy who broke her heart, or that Wendy, who has her big society wedding looming, is falling for another man, or that Marta, who has just discovered her boyfriend is secretly married, wants to revisit the one that got away. This is an engaging read about the bonds of friendship.
Friendship is also the focus of Lisa Verge Higgins' second novel One Good Friend Deserves Another. The synopsis says: "Dhara, Kelly, Marta and Wendy have been the closest of friends since college, so close, that after a series of romantic disasters, they bond together to create rules of relationships meant to keep their hearts safe. Those rules seemed to have worked, until Marta discovers that her hot boyfriend is married, Kelly begins a risky love affair, Wendy inches closer to a pre-marital infidelity, and, most shocking of all, Indian-American Dhara suddenly agrees to an arranged marriage. As old relationships crumble and dangerous new ones emerge, each women must decide how much she'd risk - for love, for happiness, and most importantly, for each another."
