An interesting story about relationships. Just when you think you can trust someone, life throws a curve ball.
Really loved this book. Kyla and Blake are a happily married Christian couple. Yet, Kyla's long time friend, Jasmine, life didn't turn out so perfect. And Jasmine stops at nothing in her attempt to acquire the life she feels she deserves. Life throws Kyla and Blake an unexpected curve ball and they're forced to put legs to their faith. It's always easier to quote a few scriptures than to actually live by them. Jasmine will make you want to slap her back into reality but feel sorry for her at times as well. I would recommend this book for a sizzling read.
