Remember those friendship bracelets we made when we were younger? They were a gift we gave to our bestie as a symbol of our friendship and represented the bond that was strong enough to overcome the distance.

The friends in this story are well-armed with good intentions. Can their friendship survive the test of time?

Frannie Willets and her sister-in-crime, Lexi Maddox, got caught and Frannie ended up doing the time in prison for grand larceny. Five years later Frannie comes back to claim her share of the money they stole before she hightails it outta Dodge to start a new life. However, leaving isn’t as easy; heart strings are pulled, and her sister-in-crime has stipulations on handing over the money. After all Frannie has done to help Lexi, is it fair that she asks for more from Frannie? Author Nancy Yeager explores what happens when besties want different things from each other.

Planning on a forever friendship is easy when things are laidback and simple. It’s so much more difficult as we get older and we allow things to come between us and the friendship. Author Nancy Yeager takes readers on a journey of Frannie and Lexi’s friendship to discover if their bracelets last longer than their friendship or vice versa.

Yeager’s timeline is taut, and readers will appreciate the highlight only reel of the girls’ lives. The characters are well-crafted and the appeal to readers’ emotions is high. A new author to me, Nancy Yeager is now one I’ll watch out for in the future.
