A decent story line. I was sidelined by some explicit sexual content that could have been left to the imagination. Overall it showed how relationships are tricky. And that being upfront and having the hard conversations are better in the end.
If I wanted to read about women constantly complaining about calories and their weight I’d just put Loose Women on.

All in all this was a good read. Definitely chic lit. It started out slow. It took me awhile to care about any of the characters but bu the time I did I felt like the book was a bit long winded. It could have been 50 pages shorter easily.
I also fet like Bree and Harding's relationship was strange. They loved eachother so soon after meeting?? It seemed more like Harding wanted what he couldn't have.
I did feel very bad for Bree. I couldn't imagine having a person like her mother as a mom. I also don't get why she had her mother's book signing at her Bookshop. I would have told that see you next Tuesday absolutely not. That whole scene could have been shorter and been more realistic.
Anyhow it was good and started to make me feel things by the end of the book.

I really enjoyed this book. All of the three women were great together. You would never have guessed that they had started out as strangers as they acted like best friends. Although, I have to say that I was not a fan of Mikki's mother, Rita. She was too much of a critic of Mikki. She was always making jabs at her. Bree had to be the peacemaker for the two of them.
However, I was happy to see Mikki find a romantic connection with Duane. They were good together. Plus, if a guy will stay after being dropped a bombshell on the first date than he is a keeper. The other two women and their romantic relationships were nice as well. I was very connected with all three women and thus the reason that I really enjoyed this book. They all grew and matured even more through the course of the story. Susan Mallery weaves her writing magic again with The Boardwalk Bookshop!
