Us Three

by Jamie Berris

Carmen is at her wit’s end with her rebellious teenage daughter gone train wreck, and a workaholic husband who prefers Las Vegas hotels over family life. With a general disregard for women, Carmen has no desire for friendships or confidants, but after her father calls her home to say her final good-bye to her estranged mother, she inevitably finds herself drawn to rely on two women she’d rather avoid.
Monica’s conniving mother-in-law has moved in for the summer with a mission to make Monica miserable. Janice’s condescending tongue and scornful eyes ridicule Monica’s inadequacies as a parent as well as her lack of domesticity, wreaking havoc on her sanity.
Gabriella worked tirelessly designing and contracting the construction of her and Greg’s empty-nesters dream home, only to be blindsided on moving day by an ultrasound picture belonging to her husband and his mistress. When Greg begs and schemes to keep the baby a secret from their children, Gabby is tormented with whether to follow her head or her heart.
Three women, three personalities, three different phases of life. Multiple layers of real-life drama, deception, and betrayal lure them to each other, forming the glue that binds their friendship.

[Cindy · Rating 3 out of 5]

Full disclosure, I only followed the one couple in the book that had to do with infidelity,skimming the rest, It was a well written,unique scenario but I was disappointing how abruptly it concluded ,left an obvious with a dearth of information unanswered questions and so much unresolved IMO,I longed for further confrontation and clarification! I felt reader and Gabby (the h) left hanging .

3 stars

This story is about three friends. I only focused on the character that had the cheating husband. It was baffling that the author left everything up in the air with the husband and his mistress and their child. I was furious. Unanswered questions in books infuriates me. 3 stars for a well written book but I didn’t like the story.

I thought this book was interesting and had potential to be better. The stories all started out well but needed more depth. I felt the book tried to wrap up each story too quickly and left the reader with questions.
