Bailey Watters and Koralynn Mitchell grew up as "sisters of the soul." Friends through it all, they promised each other kidneys and forged an unbreakable bond of trust. Kora is married to a wonderful husband whom she loves and who loves her, yet Bailey is the sister of her heart. When Bailey decides to use Kora's husband as her sperm donor—and keeps the secret from Kora—that bond of trust is tested. Should Kora forgive her husband for "having a baby" with her best friend? Life continues to probe this friendship, as the meaning of family and unity culminates in unexpected ways.
VERDICT Not a typical Quinn novel and unlike its romance kin (In Plain Sight; Hidden), The Friendship Pact focuses on the ties between women and how important those relationships are throughout life. Marriage is only the subplot here as readers follow Kora and Bailey through heartache and heartbreak, yet the women are always able to find their way back to each other. Be warned romance readers: this celebratory tale reveals an ending with some unexpected twists. Get ready!
