Like all of Radish's books, this is about the complicated relationships between women...in this case five strangers who are thrust together by circumstance and come out as friends. Kris Radish understands women. She gets the intricacies in how we relate to each other and has the ability to bring all the nuances to the forefront with her writing.
Five strange women are in the airport bathroom attempting to rescue a cell phone from the toilet when they learn that all flights are cancelled due to a storm that is heading their way. After their success with the phone, they agree to return to a hotel suite together to wait out the weather. Crazy? Yes, but it was that or stay in the airport bathroom for an undetermined length of time, and really, who wants that?
The stories of all five unfold over the days they are together. There is a level of distrust and guardedness, but at the same time, there is a certain comraderie that develops almost immediately. I think most women would choose a fancy hotel with 4 strangers over a dirty, crowded airport any day. There's something about our gender that makes this type of thing work...Radish explains it as a string that connects the hearts of all women; she might be right.
Would I recommend this book? Yes, but be prepared for obvious Chick Lit.
