The Jersey shore.
Six friends.
And plenty of baggage…
When Mark and Linda invite their friends to their tenth wedding anniversary in Atlantic City, the summer sun isn’t the only thing that’s heated. After a separation and almost-divorce, not everyone feels it is a marriage worth celebrating, and this trip to the Jersey shore becomes one wild weekend full of awkward dinners, drunken toasts, wardrobe malfunctions, auto theft, fist fights, gambling and cheating.
A contemporary tale of lust and lies that challenges the meaning of friendship and the power of love… Does loyalty trump everything?
•The Goddess With all that strawberry blonde hair and those mile-long legs, Claire shouldn’t have a care in the world. Except it isn’t easy pretending that being casual and single is what she really wants for her life… especially when it comes to her fling with a hot-as-hell British rock star.
•The Drunk Keith has finally gotten his head on straight with the help of his wife and family. Now duty and honor have brought him back to this place where he must navigate the first real test of his recovery.
•The Spaz Sistle knows all too well that being a divorced mom of three has its low points, but none worse than finding out she’ll be spending the weekend schmoozing with her ex and his new girlfriend—a younger, taller, tighter version that is everything she never was.
•The Runner-up Tina has a great steady guy and a baby on the way. Her life is coming together beautifully, even if it isn’t quite set in stone (a diamond, that is). But here comes a weekend of sun and sand… and doubt that sweeps in on mile-long legs.
•The Sucker Grant thought he had it all figured out. Divorced equals single, right? Free to date. Free to sleep with. Free to bring said sleeping-with date to dinner with his friends and his ex of five years… Free to stir up trouble. Big trouble. And possibly ruin the best and most amicable divorce ever.
•The Pawn Jake’s not the best friend but the next best one. Always a step behind. Bogged down by the growing pains of new fatherhood and undersexed by his wife who has become more of a considerate roommate, this weekend is his chance to have fun again.
These friends will have to face the truth about themselves and each other… Or Forever Hold Your Peace.
Or Forever Hold Your Peace eBook Heather Muzik
This was a great summer read, but don't let that stop you from reading it any other time of the year! I was a little lost at the beginning, trying to remember which character was with which partner/spouse. But once I caught on, I totally enjoyed this one. The story is told by 8 different characters-each chapter is a different perspective. It's interesting, as always, to know what they believe to be their own shortcomings or weaknesses and then when you hear from a different perspective, the vision changes and some of those weaknesses are seen as strengths.I was rooting for one couple and then found myself changing my opinion throughout the book.
This book felt like it was written by an old friend. AND it just leads me to go find more books by Heather Muzik, this was my second and she's definitely NOT one of those cookie cutter authors (that's what I call those authors that just pump out book after book that are all the same story).

Or Forever Hold Your Peace eBook Heather Muzik Reviews
This book starts out about a group of friends, or couples, all making the trek to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of two of their friends. You go through each character in this group, how each one see's themselves and what they really think about the couple in question and others in the group. Right away I connect with Sistle and her ex husband Grant as well as Ben and Tina, out of the entire bunch I seemed to like them the most and silently was rooting them on throughout this adventure.
As each character is described by themselves, their lives at that moment, you find your head shaking, or scratching your chin in wonder and often laughing out loud at what is going through their minds as they get ready. I personally laughed more at the men throughout this book, like when Jake is describing his sex life with his wife, or lack there of, after the birth of their daughter Olivia stating 'his wife is closed for entire seasons at a time.' LOL poor guy.
I honestly laughed so hard at how each person truly disliked the couple whose anniversary they were attending, for one reason or another, but wouldn't ever think of saying it out loud. So for one reason or another they decided to attend this farce. I wondered what Linda and Mark would think if they both knew how everyone felt. I had a feeling this weekend get away was going to blow up into a full blown tropical storm and boy was I right - this was full force category 5 for sure.
This is one really messed up group of friends. Everyone keeping how they really feel just under the surface, on a low boil just waiting to flow over. Each one had issues with one another and as the weekend unfolds, and a new girl is unfortunately brought into the mix, things start to come out, the tight thread beings to unravel and oh lord the roller coaster ride from it is truly amazing.
I have never laughed so hard or so much reading a book as I did in this one. The drama is truly eye opening and outrageously funny. The underlying issues everyone has with someone else in the group, the secrets, the lies, the couple fights, the make ups, the total misunderstandings, all of it. Made for a perfect read.
My heart went out to Sistle when her ex showed up with Regina "GENIE" ROFL, and poor Tina when she falls victim to a rumor started by snarky Regina. Oh I so didn't like her and the whole time I kept hoping someone, one of the girls in the group would just put that snotty under aged little twit in her place. The men all they could do was oogle her goods ROFL typical men.
This is a great story, a truly awesome read. I couldn't put it down, I just fell right in and had to get the next dish in this 12 course meal - I can not wait to read more by this author.
This book was very hard to get into. However when I started reading the couples that went together only it did help. Good development of characters but hated the format. I did stick with the book and ended up enjoying it but had to read parts over several times to make since and keep characters straight.
In 'Or Forever Hold Your Peace' Heather Musik has written a wonderfully crafted story about old and new friendships. The storyline focuses on a reunion of childhood friends and their spouses in Atlantic City, New Jersey. 'Or Forever Hold Your Peace' made me think of the movie The Jane Austen Book Club )
Each chapter is written from a different character's point of view and while interesting in nature it was somewhat confusing to keep all the characters straight. Although a little lost at the beginning, I pressed on with reading and found the book to be enjoyable nonetheless.
What I enjoyed the most was how Heather brought the characters to life, each of them believable in their own crazy and unique sort of way. Great job!
Put away your own "mid-life" worries and woes and come to the Jersey Shore (Atlantic City, not MTV's Jersey Shore)to witness a reunion of childhood friends and their spouses (or dates ... ex spouses ... )for a vow renewal of friends in Or Forever Hold Your Peace
I enjoyed getting to know all of the main characters, as each chapter is from a different character's point of view. They were fun, witty, and even romantic with your typical jerks thrown in for good measure. I loved their adventures and escapades during their weekend in Atlantic City!
My favorite character was Sistle who is newly divorced but whose ex is at the reunion too because he is friends with the "groom" and Sistle is the sister of the "bride". I think her adventure was the most fun, and the one that I can relate to the most.
Each character was well developed and had personalities which you either loved or wanted to smack! It was a fun, easy and endearing read.
Highly recommended summer read!
