My Rating: 3.9
Zadie and Emma have been best friends since their early 20's when they were in medical school. Now, Zadie is a pediatric cardiologist and Emma is a trauma surgeon and they are both married with children.
In college, Zadie and Nick Xenokostas (Dr X) had a wild affair as well as professional turmoil. Now, Dr X has resurfaced and is working with Emma. As it becomes evident that Emma must have known more than she revealed about circumstances that nearly derailed both their lives, Zadie starts to question everything she thought she knew about her closest friend
What others loved about this book grated on me - Zadie was a little too quirky and upbeat for me to buy in to her being a doctor. She seemed almost ditzy and 'flounced' around. The writing was good but the ditzy humor and the serious medical situations just didn't meld for me. It may well have been the audio version that exaggerated the perkiness and reading this may have had a more palatable feel.
