I can't imagine having 4 girlfriends that can stand the test of time like these 5 friends. Such a refreshing book about friendship, heartache, secrets, and love.

If you want a break from romance novels or mysteries, take a chance with going on an exciting ride with these girlfriends.

This is a great book about the bond of friendship and having to make tough choices in life. I think I found a new favorite author!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced copy of this book. I only received the first couple chapters, but from what I read, I enjoyed it! Looking forward to getting the full copy and reading it and seeing what happens.

This is a beautiful story of friends and growth. I felt like the main love stories were Pyria's and Isobella - I mean Pryia is trying to get the dream job of her life and she is now working with an almost one-night stand who had her panties - while fending off racist, misogynist men out to get her

Isabella is a mouse of a woman who has been with her up-and-coming boyfriend since high school. Wil taking care of her dad and planning a wedding she is humiliated by a leaked sex tape and her world is turned upside down

I was into their stories and the way the other friend's stories mixed into the narration. I do feel the other ladies need a book of their own.

Although romance and love are at the forefront the story is about the friend and knowing their potential for love alone. I think this was done spectacularly to end the book with a satisfying ending

loved this and I am hoping for book # 2

Not only did I enjoy the book, I immensley enjoyed the storyline. Priya, Isobel, Caitlin, Eshe, and Shayne have been friends for years, and will do anything to help each other out. The bok mainly focuses on Priya and Isobel and the issues they both are dealing with. While Priya is trying to get a job with one of the best law firms/her dream job and has issues with a co worker set on destroying her, Isobel is trying to figure out what to do next after finding out her fiance has cheated on her months before the wedding and trying to take care of her father, who became disabled after an accident. But no matter what, the sisterhood is there for each other and no woman will be left behind.

This was such a great story revolving around sisterhood and friendship. The characters were relatable. There were also some funny as well as heartwarming situations in the book. I really felt bad for Isobel, but loved how her character grew. I hope there is another book that details the other ladies lives. Great job

I recieved a copy of the book via Netgalley and am voluntarily leaving an honest review of my own thoughts and opinions

I did not get far enough into the book to develop much of an opinion before it was archived, but I was not interested in the storyline as far as I had read.

Thanks NetGalley and Wattpad Books for this eArc.

This book is for ones who grew up reading the Sisterhood of the traveling pants books. It focuses on friendship and loveable characters that you can't help but root for. My only con is the story was too short, I wish I could stay with the characters a little bit longer.

Did not read....completeletly forgot about this one. I did not even have it on my calendar, which is strange because I have all of my reviews on there. Hopefully this does not happen again.

I wanted to like this book so badly, but alas it wasn’t for me. It’s a lovely book about the relationship between these best friends and it’s lovely at times and then horrid at others, but I just couldn’t get into any of the characters or their plots. I didn’t really care about their pain and hopes and the like, which is a shame because for the most part it’s interesting.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This was a very wholesome and heartwarming story about friends and I would definitely recommend it. 4/5 stars.

Stiletto Sisterhood by Fallon DeMornay is a great debut novel. I didn't even know that Wattpad could lead to a publishing deal. A romance gone wrong leads to lots of misunderstandings and a great subplot.

Think Sex & City or The Sisterhood of the Travelings Pants...in some ways the book read dated (using a taxi and reference to certain fashion brands). If you can past that, this novel is about female friendship even as their lives changed maftiage, caring for a parent, and careers.

This wasn’t a typical romance. It followed the POV’s of two women in a friend group of five. They dub themselves The Stiletto Sisterhood.

Priya, a confident and assertive woman, trying to jump start her Law career by winning a coveted mentorship at a huge successful firm.

Isobel, a meek & mild mouse of a woman who is a production assistant, caregiver to her father, and engaged to a star pro baller (I think it’s soccer?).

Clearly, things are going to go to sh!t early on, but mum’s the word. I will say that some scenes stressed me out to the point of sweating (my secondhand embarrassment game is STRONG).

At the core of this story is the sisterhood. That is the true romance of this whole thing. This group of women from all different places and walks of life, bound together by choice, The way the show up and support/empower each other is beautiful. It was inspiring, friendship goals for real.

There is a lot of wit and sarcasm in the dialogue. These characters are fleshed out and pull you into their circle, as if you were a member too. I love that they really “come into their own” and can accept themselves, flaws and all.

The dual POV was good, but it felt odd to just have two and not all, or just one. It also made it seem like some characters were just filler. (If this is a series, this would make sense)
I’m torn on the ending, while it was wonderful, I felt it left something to be desired. I know it’s super vague but I don’t want to spoil it.

I’m assuming/hoping this is the first in a series because I would love to continue reading about these characters and would enjoy the POV’s from the others in the sisterhood.

Check it out, when it hits shelves, 4/12/22!

A big thanks to the Publisher & NetGalley for gifting me a digital copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I liked the description of the book when I requested it. However, I just could not engage with the story or the characters. This book was a miss for me.

I have received an ARC of Stiletto Sisterhood through NetGalley.
The book follows two members of the eponymous Stiletto Sisterhood, a group of five young women living across the US, Canada and the UK. One part of the story follows Priya, a young lawyer in NYC scoring a prestigious junior associate position at a law firm and competing against the firm's other junior associates for a coveted mentorship. Among her competitors is Hadrian, whom she hooked up with the night before the job interview (and before knowing that he was also going to be working there) and with whom she forms an alliance.
The other part of the story follows Isobel in Canada, who loses her job and her fiancé at one fell swoop, and has too deal with the grief while learning to stand on her own two feet and forge her own path. The remaining three "sisters", Eshe, Shayne, and Caitlin, occasionally interacts with the two heroines, but do not get any stories themselves.
While these two stories on their own show potential, telling them concurrently ends up hurting both of them. By having to establish both the premise and backstory of Priyas story, Isobels story and the sisterhood, the book is very slow to get going. By the time the book gets really engaging, it is already nearing the half-way point. Similarly, the ending feels a bit rushed. The emotional climax of the book hinges on Priya's and Isobel's quarrels with Hadrian and Shayne, respectively, but the book hasn't had time too fully develop these characters and relationships, and thus, the arguments and subsequent reconciliations fall a bit flat.
Overall, the book shows promise and is a pleasant enough way to spend an afternoon, but I felt that the two stories would have benefitted from each getting their own book to allow the stories, characters and relationships to be fully developed.

Over the moon with my first ever ARC - Stiletto Sisterhood! 👠

Summary:
When they first met, best friends Priya, Isobel, Caitlin, Eshe, and Shayne swore a vow: Chase dreams not drama. As these young women discover that achieving dreams is often erratic, and drama is inevitable as adulting, the foundation of their friendship begins to crack, putting their sisterhood to the test.

Review:
Out of the five sisters, Stiletto Sisterhood follows the story of Priya - a confident and driven lawyer in the making, and Isobel - fiancé of a Canadian pro baller, production assistant and caretaker. The representation, love between sisters, and girl power portrayed in this book is simply aspiring and beautiful. It definitely gave me a Suits x The Bold Type x Sex and the City vibe.

Overall, I thought it was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ (4.5 star) worthy from start to finish. I also really hope there's a second book in the works cause I'd love to get to know the other sisters 💜

A massive thank you to NetGalley, Wattpad Books and Fallon DeMornay for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
