It's the one piece of news Daphne White never expected to hear: Her globe-trotting friend Skylar, who vowed never to get married, is engaged! First on the bride-to-be's agenda is a celebratory weekend in Manhattan with her two best girlfriends-her treat, of course. After two decades scaling the corporate ladder with ease, Skylar can more than afford it. While Daphne is happy for Skylar, the timing of the trip couldn't be worse. Her own relationship is sputtering, and the debut novel she's finally finished-which she'd hoped would land her on the bestseller lists-appears to be going nowhere but the trash bin of every publishing house around. She doesn't want to spoil the weekend with bad news, so she arrives in New York determined to keep her disappointment under wraps. When she sees Skylar's spectacular Tribeca apartment, however, that becomes a little trickier. She and Skylar were academic peers in college. Could Daphne's life have been like this if she'd chosen a different path? Daphne struggles to hide her feelings of inadequacy, but what she doesn't know is she's not the only one with a secret. Skylar and KC are also holding something back, but what? As the weekend unfolds, the truth about each woman emerges, along with tears. And laughter. And love. The fun-loving trio readers fell for in Wait for the Rain is together once more. Never underestimate the power of female friendship!
