Picked this to be an easy-breezy read amidst a tough work week. And what a read it has been! I was not expecting to enjoy it quite as much as I did. Charlotte Butterfield's You Get That From Me is a beautiful read spanning three generations of women whose stories and secrets will keep you engaged in the book till the end. 

The book has a strong undercurrent theme of female solidarity and deals with topics like motherhood, single parenthood, sperm donation, fertility treatment and most importantly of what makes a family. Every woman in this story struggle with their own problem, but are are strong in their own ways and very supportive of each other. 

The writing is witty, emotive, poignant; the characters are well flushed out and there's never a dull moment. I love love the girl gang!
