A sweet book about family. This book provides you a glimpse of how families can blend together, share a space, and feel love. A variety of characters that you get to understand their lives. And a plot that is interwoven between four different women with very different life paths the merge, find that one thing that ties them to on another, baby “Hank”.

What a charming and funny/fun book. There are messages and feelings but nothing too deep. A good sweet story that kept me hugely entertained.

Amy Poeppel's novel *The Sweet Spot* is a complicated but heartwarming story about unconventional women in messy, sometimes hilarious situations trying to make the best of a world that trips them up and challenges their assumptions.

The characters in the novel are relatable and well-developed, the plot is engaging and fast-paced, and the novel is jam-packed with laugh-out-loud moments. Poeppel is an absolute master of writing comic relationship stories.

In addition to the wonderful characters and story, the book has a lot of heart. It is a story of quirky families, friendship, and finding a place in the world. I REALLY think this story needs to be made real on a silver or digital screen!

Thanks, NetGalley, for the early read!
