Many thanks to NetGalley, Berkley and Kimmerly Martin for the opportunity to read this book - 4.5 stars! I was a huge fan of Queen of Hearts and this follow-up is another winner. The author is a physician so writing stories that take place in hospitals and to doctors ring true.
In this book, we meet best friends Georgia and Jonah. Georgia is a female urologist and Jonah is a family practice doctor, both working in the same clinic. Georgia heads for Amsterdam for a conference - one that Jonah was supposed to attend with her but had to cancel. While she is there, Jonah informs her that the clinic is refusing treatment to gay and transgender patients. When Jonah, himself a gay man, refuses, he is on the block to be fired. Georgia does her best to remedy the situation but may end up causing even more heartache.
These are wonderful, real characters that you will love spending time with. There are some very important political thoughts - how a doctor/hospital can refuse to treat any person because of a difference of belief. But it's mostly a book of friendship and what lengths we would go to for those important to us.
