Throughout the book, I enjoyed it but felt like the whole plot was centered around such a cliche - that woman have to choose between a family or a career, and that’s all there is to life. It was hard for me to get past sometimes, as well as how genuinely dumb Tully could be. She was such a selfish, bad friend at times it wasn’t even believable
However there are a few redeeming factors for me in this book that ultimately had it good:
I think how she wrote about Kate and Marah’s relationship was beautiful and real and heartbreaking, and I ultimately think this book is about motherhood. And the last 50ish pages of this book really strengthened it for me - how she wrote about grief and cancer and death was so well done and poignant and devastating
