Seemingly simple premise that becomes more complicated by the personal and professional circumstances of the two main female characters. In the beginning, neither is all that likeable, but one evokes sympathy while the other is just rude. As we learn their backgrounds and meet the supporting characters, they both slowly begin to change for the better, but this seemed to be dragged out longer than necessary. I really enjoyed the developing friendships among the women from different backgrounds and some parts were very funny. After all that though, I felt the ending was somewhat rushed and had hoped for more detailed resolution for each of the women.
