Customer Reviews

Awsome book!

I got this book for my wife, she loved it and kept talking about it. Then I read it, awsome book.

Literate and a Gem

The reader of What Goes Around enters a participatory adventure with five characters, smart women who are resolute in wanting to avenge the murder of a friend. They plan their revenge not simply as personal payback, but as legitimate justice. Their targets are three powerful men who otherwise won't be held responsible. These men are protected by wealth and position, but if they can't be brought to justice, the victim's friends will bring justice to them. As satisfying as seeing the "good revenges" work out are the self-discoveries the women make in facing their own fears and dangerous situations. I think Susan Diamond is an outstanding writer, presenting serious themes of public and private life, privilege and morality, and the power of friendship. Outstanding also is the aura of Los Angeles. The novel is a real page-turner: consequential, intelligent, witty, and yes, downright funny. What a surprise and pleasure is this gem!

Great novel about the strength of friendship

I love the smart characters and fast-moving plot of this novel. The women in WHAT GOES AROUND absolutely personify friendship and bravery. I picked this up for a Summer read- but this book goes in my top 10 list of all time. I hope there's a sequel!

All-weather Winner

Susan Diamond's WHAT GOES AROUND not only is a good beach read, it's a great read, period. Clear a significant period of time when you dip into this compelling story because you'll be reading far longer than you had planned, maybe, as I did, the whole book in one sitting. I didn't want the book to end and came away with affection and admiration for the five terrific California women. This is an all-weather winner, and I'll definitely recommend it when my book club meets again in September.

Revenge In The City

Five fascinating L.A. women who have no problem taking charge and taking powerful men by surprise as they exact revenge in clever and creative ways. An engrossing story that will keep you reading into the night. You'll wish you could have known Ginger Pass before she died. Maybe the author will write a prequel.
