Friends and Lovers Ellen Boneparth

Friends and lovers are not either/or. They can represent relationships on a spectrum or occur simultaneously. This novel, FRIENDS and LOVERS, explores Jennifer Jacobs' relationships with two men, Mark Anderson and Nathan Perlstein. Both bring excitement and growth to her professional and personal lives; both meet her needs in different ways. Her journey involves finding out first what she needs for herself -- independent of, and also engaged in, a partnership -- and then which partner offers the best complement for her.
