When Verna marries her old friend's ex-husband, it seems that their paths have finally diverged. Jolene makes her way as a successful artist, traveling the world and demanding attention while Verna writes from her home near MacArthur Park where she and Vincent hope to spend the rest of their lives with their two cats. Until Jolene returns and asks Verna for a final favor: to take a road trip together to their small hometown in Utah, forcing both of them to confront their memories of each other. Deliciously quiet, the tension in this novel presents the readers with a knotty relationship that is honest and tangible for all of its intimacies, jealousies, and misunderstandings"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Female friendship|vFiction.
