The Necklace
The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment that Transformed their Lives
by Cheryl Jarvis
Jonell McLain, a Ventura, California real estate agent, pines for a $37, 000 diamond necklace. She convinces 12 other women to buy it together, each getting a month at a time to enjoy it. It becomes more than an investment, however; the women not only become close friends, they also work through personal problems and use the necklace to raise money for several charities.
I liked how each section covered a different "owner", although some story-lines were more relatable than others. It was also a nice turn when they began to fundraise rather than just enjoy some beautiful diamonds.
