Changing Faces by Kimberla Lawson Roby

Filed under: Literature & Fiction — Jen @ 1:33 am

Whitney, Taylor, and Charisse are three Chicagoan friends who rely on each other for support when their personal lives take a downturn. Whitney is an overweight singleton who turns to Krispy Kreme and McDonald’s for comfort when she can’t get a man in her life to stay put. She decides there’s nothing like an upcoming 20th high school reunion to lose weight for, and handsome Rico at the gym wants to help her, but is it too good to be true? Taylor is a successful lawyer who can’t seem to subpoena a commitment out of her longterm boyfriend Cameron and faces a debilitating medical condition that makes her rethink her priorities. Charisse seems to have it all with two adorable children and a loving husband — but her relationship with her abusive and emotionally unavailable mother, dissatisfaction with her current life, and desperation to keep some secrets hidden threatens the bounds of friendship and her marriage.
