I loved this whole book right up until the end.
All in all, this was a cozy little story about four very different women all coming together and learning about themselves and each other. It could have easily been a lot angstier, but it never quite went there, which I liked.

I was mostly okay with the husbands showing up, but the implication that Scrap ends up with Briggs really annoyed me. As someone who desperately wants to be left alone, I identified with her so much, and I didn't really want her to end up with anyone.All in all, this was a cozy little story about four very different women all coming together and learning about themselves and each other.
