This book felt like I was sitting by these women at a coffee shop and I was eavesdropping on each of their stories. At some point you have to leave and you don't get to hear the rest of their stories or how they turned out in the end. At
times it felt uncomfortable and too personal to be reading but I related to bits of each of their lives, I felt their pain,
their joy, their longing. None of these women's stories are solved or come to a happy ending. There's not much closure at the end and while I've seen a few reviews see this as a negative, I don't. That's real life. I applaud these women for sharing their stories and I love
Lisa Taddeo's writing but this book left me feeling almost hungover and mournful. I don't want to take away from the other women's stories but I found myself rushing to get to Maggie's parts. I feel like Maggie deserves her own book.
