"Just because you'd give your best friend everything doesn't mean
she has to take it. "
On the heels of a divorce, all Danielle Meyers wants is her annual
vacation with sassy, life-long best friend, Smidge--complete with
umbrella cocktails by an infinity pool--but instead she's hit with
the curveball of a lifetime. Smidge takes Danielle to the middle of
nowhere to reveal a diagnosis of terminal cancer, followed by an
unusual request: ""After I'm gone, I want you to finish the job.
Marry my husband. Raise my daughter. I'm gonna teach you to how to
be Smidge 2.0." "
As Danielle wrestles with this major life decision, she finds
herself torn between being true to her best friend's wishes and
being honest with herself. Parenting issues aside, Smidge's
small-town Louisiana world is exactly the one Danielle made sure to
escape. Danielle isn't one for playing the social butterfly, or
being the center of attention. And when your best friend tries to
set you up on a date night with her husband, it might be time to
become the bossy one for a change.
In the spirit of "Beaches "and "Steel Magnolias, You Take It from
Here "is an honest, hilarious, and heartbreaking novel that
ultimately asks: How much should we sacrifice for the ones we love
the most?
