I came across this book one day while wandering the aisles of my local bookstore-one of my favorite pastimes. The cover and title sucked me in and I quickly flipped over to the back cover to read about it. The story centers around four women: Anna, Grace, Juliet, and Chloe, who are balancing motherhood with the challenges of their daily lives.
Anna, a divorced mom, is re-entering the world of dating. She meets a great guy, who seems to be just what she is looking for, but Noah has a secret past that may make Anna think twice about getting involved with him. Grace is a stay at home mom with three beautiful little girls and a loving husband. Yet, she is increasingly unhappy with her excess baby weight and will do anything to lose it. Then there's Juliet, an attorney supporting her family while her husband, a former firefighter, stays home with their twins. While at work though, Juliet who is trying hard to make partner, is also finding it hard to say no to her attractive boss. Finally, there's Chloe, a new mom who is overwhelmed and gets no help from her husband. She finds herself slipping back into a bad habit she thought she had broken.
I loved this book right from the first chapter. In fact, I read for about an hour straight the first day when my son was at summer camp. I just could not put it down. I love the well-developed characters and was able to relate to each of them on some level. This is a great, funny read by an author whose books I definitely will be reading more of! In fact, I have already picked up two others by her and placed them in my growing pile on my nightstand.
