I did not like this book! It appeared to be an attempt at a book on feminism but it made me cringe. It's been dreadfully overhyped and I feel I was misled into reading it.
None of the main characters are likeable and I found myself becoming angry with them.
Tara is obnoxious and judgmental, looking down on the other mums at the school gate yet not bothering to get to know them. Additionally, the way she ends up being vilified for choosing to bring her daughter up alone is incredibly unrealistic and like something from the 50s. Society these days would not give a monkey's!
Stella is pure evil. Manipulative, vindictive, conniving and a liar. There is absolutely nothing to like about her.
Cam's blogs on feminism are crap! There's no way they'd have got the following they did in real life.
All of the main characters are superficial - there's no depth to any of them.
I only laughed once - when Tara's mum saw the video - but there were no other funny, let alone 'hilarious', moments.
Considering the number of books on my TBR pile I feel that the time spent on reading this book has cheated me out of time I could have been spending on reading something enjoyable.

Sometimes a book is exactly what you want and need it to be.

I have seen a recurring pattern with Dawn o porter books ' women does something , shit life , gets mad about shit life , add in a gay character that does nothing to the plot and is mentioned once and is never brought up again , something happens , life gets fixed boom explained the books I have read from her .
