Two biological sisters and a woman growing into a close friend kick their awful partners to the curb and find someone better. I picked this up after reading somewhere that Eric Jerome Dickey was known for writing three-dimensional women, and it is interesting that a male writer would place the men in the novel so far away from the center - even farther than the instrumental value in your typical romance novel (e.g. Terry McMillan's How Stella Got Her Groove Back).
There is a lot of internal and external dialogue - I agree with another reviewer that this feels like a screenplay. I'm always looking for a diverting story to read that doesn't require citation-following or an encyclopedic memory to understand the allusions, and this fit the bill.

Typical Eric Jerome Dickey. Not bad, but not great. Great ideas but the execution is mediocre. Would make a great movie though. He really should be writting screenplays.
I wasn't feeling this one at all. I can't even remember it.
