They say that the friends you make during college are with you for your life, and for Reagan, Tamsin, Freddie, and Sarah that definitely appears to be the case. With student life ahead of them, they bonded some years back over too many bottles of wine and some great gossip. Essay deadlines and ill-fated love affairs were but clouds on their horizon.
Even though the four women have got very little in common this appears to make them stronger friends, and they swear that they will always be there for each other. However, twenty years is quite a long time to keep such a promise.
So, when tragedy plays a hand, their friendship is put right to the ultimate test. Can they put each of their differences and troubles aside and remember the simple joys of their younger selves. After all, shouldn’t friends always come first?
“Alphabet Weekends” is the third stand alone novel and was released in the year 2005. Natalie and the rest of her sisters have known Tom and his family forever.

This is in order for her to forget all about the heartache and, at least he hopes, to make her see what has been staring her right in the face all these past years. His genuine and real love for her.
While they tumble from A to Z, their friends and families face tragedies and broken hearts all their own. Can the Alphabet Weekends unlock love in each of its wonderful and many guises? Not just for Natalie and Tom, rather for everybody they care about, too?

Charlie and Daphne used to be happily married, and their kids Nick, Laura, and Scott used to be inseparable. However, inevitably, the kids grew up and their own messy lives got in the way.
