Maggie, Nicki, Alice and Stella... For four close friends, it's the bonds of friendship that have seen them through life's ups and downs. Nothing can shake their support of each other--until one of them drops a bombshell that will change their relationships forever. Maggie, a successful businesswoman, is surprised when her decision to have a baby at age fifty-two threatens to divide the group. Family and financial problems plague Nicki, causing her to slip further into a depression sparked by her troubled past. Alice begins to question whether marrying young was a mistake, and decides to change her life, as she fears her husband is having an affair. And practical Stella is shocked to find that she's allowed herself to be tempted by a man other than her husband. Suddenly it's time to take stock. What has happened to their once-golden hopes and dreams? Are they destined to remain unfulfilled forever, or will the strength of their friendship help those dreams come true?… (altro)

Now or Never by Penny Jordan is a 2014 MIRA publication.

This book was originally published in 2003 so this is definitely a reissue. I have been going gaga ever since my library finally got Overdrive and I couldn't believe it when this book popped up during one of my marathon browsing sessions. I have a nice collection of Penny Jordan books, but I was not familiar with this one.

Sadly, this is not one of my favorites by Penny. The set up revolves around a women past childbearing years, Maggie, who meets and falls in love with Oliver, a man much younger than she realized when they first became involved. So, for his sake she agrees to IVF.
Her friends all react to this news in various ways. Also, on the agenda are the personal lives of Maggie's friends which range from a woman dealing with the return of her vindictive step- daughter, a couple whose son has gotten a former girlfriend pregnant, and a young woman with a drinking problem.

This book does show Penny's maturation and is a big departure from her usual Harlequin or Mills & Boon days. This book is more of a women's fiction novel with no romantic angst, but instead deals with the drama of older adults coping mostly with adult children, except in Maggie's case. The ending was absolutely shocking and I was terribly disappointed by it. It was plot twist I never saw coming and it pretty much ruined it for me. But, if you are a Jordan fan and you happen upon this one you may want to check it, just because it's Penny Jordan. ( )

It's too much of a soap opera. It is very ridiculous, and the ending is sickening. ( )
