FOUR OF A KIND
By Val Frankel
I’ve featured my online friend Val Frankel on here before, with her memoir, It’s Hard Not to Hate You, which is awesome and funny and if you haven't read it yet, you MUST get it now! She’s also the author of a bunch of novels too, and another memoir - the girl CAN WRITE!
Today, I’m happy to feature her latest, FOUR OF A KIND!

Besides the fact that their kids all attend the same fashionable Brooklyn Heights private school, Bess, Robin, Carla, and Alicia have little in common. Thrown together on the tony school’s Diversity Committee, the women impulsively turn their awkward first meeting into a boisterous game of poker. Instead of betting with chips or pocket change, however, they play for intimate secrets about their lives.
As the Diversity Commitee meetings become a highly anticipated monthly ritual, the new friends reveal more with each game. Picture-perfect housewife Bess struggles to relate to her surly teenage daughter and judgmental mother. Robin, a single mom, grapples with the truth concerning her child’s real father. Carla, an ambitious doctor, attempts to balance the colossal demands of her family with her dream of owning her own private practice. And to distract herself from her troubled marriage, shy copywriter Alicia fantasizes about an attractive younger colleague.
Putting all their cards on the table, the four women grow to rely on one another, bracing for one final showdown.

Read an excerpt here:
If you’d like to win a copy of Four of A Kind, since this is all about bonding with women you wouldn’t expect to bond with, have you met and bonded with a friend in an unconventional way? I met a friend at a party, who is still a friend today. She was talking about a guy she was dating, and when she said his name and where he was from, I shouted out loud, “OH MY GOSH, WE SLEPT WITH THE SAME GUY!” Turns out, at that point, she hadn’t slept with him, (she never did but we are still friends to this day! PS… she was smart not to go there. Me, not so much.)
So, tell me about how you met your friend in an unconventional way, and you could win Four of A Kind!
