The author is a good writer and the individual stories of each suburban mom (Gigi - politician's wife, Susan - bitter ex spouse, Kellie - flirting with another man, and Tessa - secret we find out over the course of the book) are pretty tired tropes. However, I still enjoyed the journey with each person. The "happy" ending for each person was fine, but mostly fit into the trope so nothing terribly unexpected.
