Being a Mother is HARD! But then women come together, there is nothing they can’t do!
The characters were so well done and the emotions are so well written, I’m shocked the writer is a man.

Unfortunately the first half of the book was incredibly slow and difficult for me to get through. The book picked up more around the 60% mark. The pacing was uneven, and many scemes/chapters were superfluous. This might be a good book to study in an English class or discuss in a book club, but I likely will not read it again.
I think this book would be excellent adapted to the big screen.
