The only right way to start this review is by emphasizing how much I love and respect Ms. Gretchen. I aspire to have a 1/3 of her confidence, wisdom, and vivacity! She's a queen and absolutely stole the show. I love her relationship with Tabitha and I really love that Tabitha continued to visit Ms. Gretchen even after her grandmother passed. Moving on from my queen, Tabitha really annoyed me at various points of the book. I felt as if she was moving backward from where we left off in the first book. For example, why was she telling Mark that she was pregnant?! He did not need to know that when she told him. Also, why did she not stand her ground at work? I tried to calm the agitation because I know that it's normal for people to backtrack as old habits die hard, but I really struggled with it. OH and Alexis was on my last nerves. This woman has no empathy for the people around her and just expect everyone to attend every event regardless of what that person has going on. It's unrealistic, childish, and toxic. She needs to take several seats next to her adulterous husband who she is apparently taking back. I hope Tabitha doesn't take Mark back at any point and that she gives the Dr. a whirl. I'd love to see that drama unfold.

Honestly I don't even know what the main plot of this book is. It was just so disappointing, I don't think I'll be reading the 3rd book of the trilogy

When annotating this book, my tabs were:
- Pink: Quotes
- Light Pink: Love/Sweet
- Light Purple: Sad
- Purple: Girlish/Friendship/Relateable
This was my favorite installment of the 3-part series. I was happy to see Tabby's friends do well for themselves, especially Laila. And i was glad to see her relationship grow with her little sisters. Most importantly, on page 195

3.5! I really do like the series so much. This book wrapped up very well and I look forward to reading the next and final installment!

I cannot say enough good things about these books!! Book 2 did not disappoint and was another easy 5 star rating for me.
I’m so invested in these characters and their growth.
Counting down the days until book 3 is released! I think Jayne Allen might be one of my new favorite authors.
