"A thoroughly upbeat and fully entertaining novel from cover to cover."
—Midwest Book Review
"Brunch and Other Obligations is women's fiction at its finest! A tender, witty, heartfelt novel that had me laughing out loud in one chapter and reaching for tissues in the next. With humor, heart, and hope, Nugent reminds us that, once in a lifetime, if we're very, very lucky, we just might find a friend who knows us better than we know ourselves."
—Lori Nelson Spielman, New York Times best-selling author of The Life List
The only thing reclusive bookworm Nora, high-powered attorney Christina, and supermom-in-training Leanne ever had in common was their best friend, Molly. When Molly dies, she leaves mysterious gifts and cryptic notes for each of her grieving best friends, along with one final request: that these three mismatched frenemies have brunch together every month for a year.
Filled with heartwrenching scenes and witty prose, Brunch and Other Obligations explores the intricate dynamics of girlhood acquaintances who are forced to reconnect as women. This upbeat novel reminds readers that there's hope for getting through the hard times in life—with a lot of patience, humor, and a standing brunch date.

Molly Granger left instructions for her core group of friends after her death: they are to meet once a month for brunch. The catch? Nora, Leanne, and Christina don't really like each other. Nora is a recluse, Leanne is a Stepford wife-in-training, and Christina is a type-A lawyer. Molly was the free spirit who brought them together, and now she's gone. Each woman loved Molly too much to blatantly disregard her request, though, so they do as she asked. Through these brunches, the women connect over their friend gone too soon as debut author Nugent skillfully intertwines the stories of Nora, who may be falling for her dead friend's ex; Leanne, who isn't the happy wife she pretends to be; and Christina, who hates that she can't control her mother's illness, thereby showing how grief affects each woman differently. Poignant, funny, and smart, Brunch and Other Obligations is a must-have for contemporary women's fiction shelves. Readers will want to watch for what Nugent does next.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2020, American Library Association.)
