One of the better contemporary women-struggling-with-life novels I’ve read (or bailed on) in the last couple of years.
Smooth writing and quite believable dialogues. I also liked that the main focus lies on friendships and not on romantic relationships.
Some of the incidents that drive the story are happening a bit too conveniently, but overall a good debut novel that touches on important topics.
