"Four friends, Faye, Olivia, Beth and Abbie, have all met separately through happenstances of fate."
Don't everyone meet like that? :/
"All very different people, they somehow find a commonality which glues them together."
All friendships include this; you have to have some sort of connection to one another.
"However, when Faye thinks she sees a long lost love on the street, she is shocked by the effect it has on her. She confronts the rest of the girls as to whether they are really living their lives to the full. While this is a simple question, it throws them all off balance, forcing them to question their life choices, their work and their own relationships."
This actually aggravated me quite a bit. I can understand Faye questioning herself, but with one speech, she can make the others also equally incredibly insecure? I understand it's normal to question yourself and your lifestyle every once in a while, but Faye thinking she's seen her long lost love doesn't completely mean she's going to have a life shocking epiphany that will shock her; and when she shares this to the rest of her friends- they're going to have the same thought?
I find myself feeling skeptical and I already predict the book's not going to be extremely realistic. I guess the review simply drove me the wrong way So I'm unlikely to read it.

Interestingly I found myself being a little put off by the prologue. It felt as if a male was writing and, until I checked, I then had the impression that he was trying to write female characters!
The first few chapters had a few great moments where I was into the character’s perspective and story, but I found the large sections of detail resulted in slow paced story-telling.
I wanted to be engaged and keen to turn each page but unfortunately I felt that my attention was easily distracted by things going on around me.
It is admirable that the author deals with mental health issues in her novel. This advance knowledge may help readers initially choose and then persevere with their reading.
