The Friendship List

New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery delights with an engaging novel about two women who are as close as sisters and the summer that changes their lives forever...
As a single mom, Ellen Fox missed out on a lot, but she wouldn't change a thing--until she overhears her son saying he can't go to his dream college because she needs him too much. If she wants him to live his best life, she has to convince him she's living hers.
So Unity Leandre, her best friend since forever, creates a list of challenges to push Ellen out of her comfort zone. Unity will complete the list, too. Only to support her friend, not because she needs to change--she sees no problem with a thirtysomething widow still sleeping in her late husband's childhood bed.
For both women, The Friendship List begins as a way to make others believe they're doing just fine. But somewhere between "wear a bikini in public" and "have sex with a gorgeous guy," Ellen and Unity will discover that life is meant to be lived with joy and abandon, in a story filled with humor, heartache and regrettable tattoos.

Susan Mallery is a critically acclaimed author of more than one hundred romance and women's fiction novels, which have made the New York Times bestsellers list and been listed in Booklist's Top 10 Romances for four consecutive years.
