Great book!

First time reading something from this author. Couldn’t put the book down. Very good read.

Mt first review of this author...bear with me.

I am not familiar with this author. And I was afraid this would be another, expected chick flick. I loved it. Still heavy on the girly side, but having men be a part of the story line helped offset that. Again, another novel I have read, where I went in not knowing what it was about and I was very pleased with the book. Obviously, it was a quick, easy read, I was done in 2 full days. The story line focuses on a small, group of friend and their significant others. There aren't flashbacks, per se, but it does describe a lot of their earlier years together. I liked all of the characters, even the ones I think you were supposed to shy away from. some of the more typical plots found in a Women's Lit book, but I was not bored by it at all.
