3.0

I needed a palette cleanser and this did the trick.  This is a very lighthearted read, that follows 4 different women in their journey of life.  
At times, there were predictable moments, but I expected it.  
You are looking for a Hallmark movie channel read, this will be a great one to try out.  I am looking forward to continuing with the series.

CW: pregnancy, infertility, L&D, abortion.

I am pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this book.

Except The discussions around weight and body shaming have not aged well.

I’m impressed that it was surprisingly pro-choice with all of the god/Christianity talk

Notes: takes place in Seattle Washington. Carol, Lydia, Jaqueline and Alix are all white women.
