The Reunion (Secret Mother's Business #2)
It's been ages since Jo, Helen, Ereka and CJ first became friends through their mothers' group-back then, life revolved around their small children. Now their kids are pre-teens and teenagers with attitudes, iPods and raging hormones, and life is feeling emptier for some mothers, more liberating for others.

It's been six years since the women introduced in Secret Mothers' Business: One Night, Eight Women, No Kids, No Holding Back have managed to get away for a weekend. Not everyone from the original group has been able to make it but Jo, Helen, Ereka and CJ are joined by friends, Maeve, Summer and Virginia in the large rented country house. Over the course of the weekend, the seven women share wine, food, laughter, tears, secrets and truths, as they candidly discuss men, marriage, children, sex, mo...more

I didn't love this as much as "secret mother's business", but I still loved it a lot. Joanne Fedler writes of the characteristics that we all see in our friends, or people we meet. The stories feel true, and possible.

There were some great lines in this book. It's a bunch of 40-ish women away for a weekend and was way too close to home on a lot of fronts. Really enjoyed it although it got a little preachy towards the end.
She writes like she is talking to you, loved this book, great for mothers with kids that are either teens or not needing you so much anymore or leaving home.
I could so relate and read late into the night.

Very much chick lit. Light & enjoyable. A few too many characters - hard to keep track of, so had to refer to the legend at the start of the book a few times. Saw much of myself in the narrator, Jo.
This was a VERY light read. More like reading a magazine. There is a book which precedes it by the same author called Secret Mother's Business which I haven't read but probably will as I also got it out of the library (but it arrived later hence reading out of order).
Not particularly well written but OK if you need a break from heavier books, which I did. Think it is best if you have kids of school age as you can relate to the subject matter.
I wouldn't pay for this book but would get it out of...more
