“Or Forever Hold Your Peace”
By: Heather Muzik
Book Description:
Does loyalty trump everything?
When friends reunite in Atlantic City for the tenth wedding anniversary of two of their own, the summer sun isn’t the only thing that’s heated. Old perceptions die hard, and after a separation and almost-divorce, not everyone feels this is a marriage worth celebrating.
Over the course of one long weekend, friendships, relationships, and marriages are tested as secrets begin to surface…. In the end, these friends will have to face the truth about themselves and each other… or forever hold their peace.
My Thoughts:
“Or Forever Hold Your Peace” is a lovely story about the power of friendship, filled with awesome well rounded characters. The way the characters had to face themselves and each other was a real look into people and how we perceive and are perceived. There were eight characters whose perspective were explored in separate chapters, and it was so easy to connect with the characters, which really deepened the emotional power of the story.
I also loved the range of tone, there were times I laughed and times I wanted to cry, making the story as well rounded and developed as the characters that inhabited it. It does make me wonder what my friends might be thinking about me!
I would highly recommend this book as a wonderful summer read!

After attending GA Tech to study Industrial Engineering, she settled down in a small town outside the city where she has remained ever since. She keeps house for one husband, two sons, and a thankless dog (who she adores anyway). Her loves: books, bacon, bargains… heavy metal, Christmas movies… a great pair of jeans… and anything cheesy.
