Time Will Tell
What has time told you about the power of friendship?
Thomasine, Rachel, and Hope share laughs and heartaches, hopes and dreams over the years, but only Time Will Tell if their friendship can survive the drama.
Accountant Hope Jones-McCoy goes through life masquerading self-righteousness for saintliness until the world she spent ten years building comes crashing down around her at once. Although she has a sunny disposition, Rachel Curtis-Brown faces dark days as her estranged husband and his chemical dependency leave her to raise two young sons alone. Thomasine Mintor, anthropology and women’s studies professor at the prestigious Steeplechase University, is a preacher’s daughter who’s into everything and everybody but herself, until she has a spiritual awakening and makes a major life change.
Time Will Tell is a story of tragedy and triumph, and the test of true friendship. You’ll find yourself laughing, crying, reflecting on your own hopes and dreams, and even reconnecting with an old friend.
“A riveting read.”
—Kieja Shapodee, author of Written in Red Ink
"An intense account of childhood friends as they each experience life’s challenges. Trevy McDonald intricately describes their events, leaving the reader in anticipation of each character's dramatic outcome."

It was interesting up til around 30%, then it went down. The book felt very long and sometimes just meh and confusing, i read on and hoped it would pick up. But for me it didn't, i didn't connect or like any of the characters either.

This book caught my eye because the synopsis was very compelling. But once I started reading, I was very disappointed. It wasn’t that I didn’t like the storyline, because I did. It had some interesting storylines. The best one being between Thomasine, Rachel and Hope and their sisterhood. This sisterhood element was the most readable part of the book.
This book was hard to read because I struggled to keep the many characters straight. I wasn’t fond of how the book ended. It just ENDED. I know that there is a second book and I will read that, for no other reason that I hope that it will answer some of the questions I was left with after reading this one.
Thanks to NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

April 29, 2020I enjoyed this story of three friends as they experienced life from their high school senior year to college to early adulthood. Each friend has a different personality, life experiences, and (in my opinion) closeness with one another.
At first it was tough to keep up the going from the present to the past and keeping up with names and their storyline. By the time they were in college, I pretty much memorized who was who and their story. This is one I'll have to read again and then the next book about the three friends.
