WHEN GIRLFRIENDS BREAK HEARTS
Sophie Wharton doesn't like losing control, especially of her life. She's always been the girl who's kept it together--the girl with a charming boyfriend, a lively social life, and plans to start her own bakery. Life is great for Sophie a few years out of college in Seattle...or so she thinks.
Then a series of events start to turn Sophie's perfectly ordered world upside down.
After three years, her boyfriend suddenly decides to call it quits. Her close camaraderie of girlfriends is starting to fall apart. Secrets are exposed. And when she thinks things couldn't get any worse, Sophie learns that one of her friends is fighting a devastating battle.
Now living with her best friend Claire, Sophie struggles with learning to forgive or forget those who break hearts, while trying to accept that there are some situations she cannot control. But is there still a light at the end of the tunnel? Can a girl find the "good" in the "bad"?
This is a heartfelt story about what happens when friendships take different paths and when life doesn't exactly go according to plan.
WHEN GIRLFRIENDS STEP UP
Robin Sinclair is young, determined, and has a promising career at a small publishing house in Seattle. Even though she considers herself unlucky in love, Robin still dreams of eventually meeting Mr. Right and having a happily-ever-after kind of life. And at twenty-five, the world of opportunity is wide. But it's been a difficult year filled with trials...and it's only just begun.
While long-time friendships are finally on the mend, and things are starting to look up again, Robin is faced with her biggest challenge yet. She's single and pregnant.
Uncertain now of her future and scared of being alone, Robin must re-examine her life and choices, and summon the courage to step up.
With the love and support of her best girlfriends from college, especially her best friend and roommate, Lara, Robin will learn that when the going gets tough, the best of friends become family. And, perhaps, with their encouragement, Robin can mature and gain the confidence needed to become a single mother. And, who knows about being unlucky in love. Things are suddenly getting interesting with Robin's attractive co-worker, Bobby.
This is an endearing story about maturity and perseverance. It's a story about friends coming together as family, about finding the strength within and around, and about writing your own happily-ever-after.
WHEN GIRLFRIENDS MAKE CHOICES
Lara Kearns has it all. She has her MBA, a successful career in advertising in Seattle, and she's even living with her best friend and single mom, Robin. Reliable, dedicated, and eager, Lara is the resident go-to-girl, and she wouldn't have it any other way.
Lara's that girl who has everything going for her...everything, that is, except for true love. With the big 3-0 on its way and no man in sight, Lara wonders if she'll always be married to her career, or her cat, and never find the One.
But then, when she least expects it, a handsome and suave executive at her firm, Paul Mackenzie, makes a pass at her. Hesitant at first about striking up an office romance, Lara eventually finds herself falling for her charming colleague. And the best part? Paul is falling in love with Lara, too!
What happens, though, when the man of your dreams loves you...and his wife?
Battling with what the head and the heart want, Lara finds herself in a precarious situation. Life is spiraling out of control, but with the support of her therapist and friends, Lara must make a choice. Is she really prepared to chase after love...at all costs?
This is a provocative story about struggling between right and wrong. About what you will or won't do for true love.

I like chic lit books... These were okay. They didnt knock my socks off or make me crack up really. I would still read some of the others in the series if they were free or really cheap, I don't think I would spend money on them though, I didnt like these first three enough...

Ugh
It’s very rare for me to not finish a book once I start one, but I simply could NOT get through even one of the three books I’m this collection. I made it to about the 30% mark before I called it quits. I only made it this far because I kept hoping that something would happen. Nothing ever did. As an elementary school writing teacher, I told my kids that all good stories have a problem/some sort of conflict Followed by a solution. We also talk about how there should be a climax of sorts. This book introduce many problems, but then I just rambled on endlessly. It read sort of like someone’s journal entry. In that sense, it is something that is only interesting to the writer. The main character kept going on and on about her many fantastic friendships that were dissolving, describing all the mundane details of her every thought and opinion, and making all sorts of random observations that never came to any fruition. When I finally quit, I still wasn’t really sure what direction the story was supposed to take. Hopefully this review saves you some time if you’re on the fence about whether or not to give this book a try.

Too full of chiches about women. Things like how we obviously must need to eat cupcakes when we are man-hating, etc, etc. It was just too much for me. It started out promising, and I thought it would be light hearted, but it got too predictable and almost insulting how it represented women and our relationships. I gave up towards the end of the first book.

I tried desperately to get through this book. I just couldn’t take the constant woe is me. I will typically finish a book even if I don’t enjoy it but after 3 months and only making it half way through, I just gave up.

Absolutely loved these books! I won't get into too much detail about each specifically, but overall this is a great collection. Chick lit has always been my guilty pleasure and this delivers! The series follows a group of 6 girlfriends. Each book is from the point of view of each girl and their stories overlap. Savannah page does an amazing job grabbing the readers heart strings right from the beginning and taking them along for a gripping ride. I finished the third book of this collection and can't wait to dive into the fourth book. Definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves a good chick lit book. Reminded me of Something Borrowed, but still had its own unique touches!

Loved this collection. Easy reads but so fun!
Love this series and excited to read the rest. Super easy reads - but still have substance and are fun. You can probably see yourself in one of the girls.

Story of friendships
Loved book one and two. Not so much three. Did not like Lara in an affair with a married man. And then becoming obsessed and stalking Paul. I much preferred Sophies story of breakup aftermath and Robins story of pregnancy. I like that the women stand by each other always.

Ok so I have to say I only got through the first book in the 3 book set. Number one rule in writing is SHOW, don’t TELL. This author completely missed the mark. I honestly couldn’t wait to get done, and don’t plan on reading the rest of the series. Pages of pages of a chick whining over everything. It’s like getting stuck on the phone with your least favorite acquaintance while they drone on and on about all of their minuscule problems. I write a lot of reviews and read a lot of different types of writing, and this is my first bad review. Honestly, don’t bother.
