This book feels like sisterhood and family bonds wrapped in a warm blanket. It was mostly devoid of cattiness between women, which was refreshing.  It makes you appreciate the strong female bonds you have (if you do) and celebrates women doing what's best for their personal health and wellbeing.

I wanted to like this book as much as Elena's other novels, but it kept missing the mark for me.  There wasn't really anything relatable or likeable in her character.

This was the perfect lighthearted read. I really appreciate how strong and healthy friendships was such a big part of this book. I cackled multiple times because it felt so relatable and there were many times I could see some of my friends doing and saying the same things. Even though it's a romance, this book is truly a testament to the importance of having great friends as an adult.
