I listened to the abridged audiobook narrated by the author and it was really good. I do want to read the full length novel to experience everything, but even abridged, I still enjoyed the story. I really loved the found family aspect of this book and the fact that no matter what life, and good for nothing men, threw at these women, they still had each other to laugh with, cry with, vent to, and sometimes, that is all you need.
