Easy read, but the writing felt cheap.  I also would’ve liked the characters to be explored outside of their relationship status and children (or lack thereof). I love a story about mothers, but there wasn’t much more to the characters than that, and there was potential for there to be. I’m never one to predict the ending of a book, so the ending did take me by surprise. I liked the ending of the story, it tied together the different characters well. Overall, I would only really recommend this to someone who wants something easy to read. Was not for me.
