5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting and intriguing - Lauren Z.
I really enjoyed this book! The author created a very relatable scenario while also adding enough drama to make it intriguing. I had a hard time putting it down. When I finished the book I was left with a new appreciation for the girlfriends in my life and also a greater interest in wholistic medicine. I can’t wait for the release of the next book in the series!

Loved this book! The author is very good at drawing you in and keeps you interested as the story plays out. I love how the main character pulls together a unique group of friends, each with different strengths that contribute to the bond that grows amongst them. An unexpected twist kept me from putting this book down!
Loved that I am intimately familiar with where the story takes place, I felt like I was right there! Great read!

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy read - Amazon Customer
Overall, fantastic character development. I found myself easily able to picture the characters and the story as if it were a movie playing out. The plot, while a little far fetched (solving a murder so quickly), was enjoyable (if a murder can be called that) and the friendships being built during a weekend girls’ trip resonated with me because I also have a tribe of girls that I take trips with. I enjoyed learning about the different alternative medicines in a story form and may even investigate them on my own thanks to this book. I do think there was some choppy dialogue that could be smoothed out, but overall, a worthy read.
