Book Review
The story begins with Liza Sylvestri’s plans for a romantic weekend with her husband Jay. They have been living the high life in California, Malibu home and all. She waits for him at their loft, located in a deserted area of L.A., and she hides so she can see the look on his face when he enters the room and sees the surprise she has painstakingly planned for him.
Shortly after he enters the loft, venture capitalist Jay is
shot in the back and dies in Liza’s arms.
She is now on the run to save herself from the assailants, a crooked cop
and some insane political extremists. They
all have one goal – get Liza and find the container of arms that was Jay’s last
venture. From this point forward the story goes at full throttle, through city,
back roads and small towns. You find
yourself trying to catch your breath between incidents and it is almost
impossible.
Liza’s college friend Ellen finds herself caught up in the
madness, innocently at first, less so later.
How their friendship deepens, how their roles somewhat reverse, and how in
order to survive each woman summons up courage and strength that she didn’t
know she had, makes this a story also about women on a journey of self-discovery and friendship.
This journey of friendship and self-discovery is very neatly
woven through the plot and in no way does it detract from this book being a
thriller or the breakneck speed of the telling.
I read this book in two nights; I simply could not read it
fast enough. Fast Friends is a great,
fun and satisfying read. Don’t miss out.
