Dear Readers,
Did the ladies show and tell like I said they would? I think so. I enjoyed catching up with these four friends and it's sad to say goodbye to them . . . for now. I started the book thinking this was it for Mo, Dom, Alizé, and Cris but once I typed the last page of the book I knew I couldn't say farewell to them forever. So one day in the future I will revisit these four crazy friends in their late twenties or early thirties and see just what their lives have become. In the meanwhile, I am working on some even crazier stories for you all. I have plenty of tales to tell.
Be good, y'all,
N.
