Zadie and Emma's history goes back to when they were young med students. Their history includes loves and losses, good memories and bad. Now they are enjoying successful careers, loving marriages, and are raising children in the upper-class areas of Charlotte. Emma is a successful trauma surgeon and Zadie is a world-class pediatric cardiologist. Both of them are caught off guard when they learn that a doctor from their past is moving to Charlotte. Just the name of Nick drudges up memories that they both would rather leave in the past. What they don't know is that one of them has been keeping a pretty big secret about something that happened back in med school. Will the secret destroy the only real friendship that either of them has had in years?
For more than a decade the antics of med students at Seattle Grace have romanticized med school for millions of viewers. The Queen of Hearts is the kind of book that will bring back all of those reasons why we spent so much time at Seattle Grace. Romance, angst, heartache, and more. I think it is that sentimental connection to the beloved show that is the reason why I enjoyed this book so much. I really liked both Zadie and Emma. I even liked Nick in his own anti-McDreamy way. Zadie is a little more flighty, a bit overwhelmed with her four young children. But it is Emma who is most discombobulated by the thought that Nick will be moving to Charlotte. As the storyline goes back and forth between the present and the past you really get a strong "Greys Anatomy" vibe, especially when there is a tragedy that befalls the Zadie, Emma, and their friends. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS
Bottom Line - I believe that The Queen of Hearts is a love story, but a love story between two friends. Neither Zadie nor Emma are perfect, but their friendship has stood the test of time and I believe the love between them was genuine, even when things get tough. We should all be so lucky to have a friend like that.
