*Loved it again the second time* I may not agree with how the author portrays women as not feeling complete without working, but she verbalizes some great thoughts and feelings that full-time mothers and/or working mothers experience.

**BEST READ OF 2008** (so far!)

Besides just being a good book, the book was well written. The author describes things very well and in good detail. She expresses her characters thoughts very well. I could really picture everything that was going on and felt like I was feeling the character's emotions, thoughts, etc. The book really draws you in and you feel like there's a part of you in each character; you can really emphathize with them.

The story is mainly about 4 friends and their lives and their trying to figure out their lives, and their dreams, and what their dreams were and are, and how they got where they are today; basically just figuring it all out. And even though there wasn't really a huge storyline, per se, it still had a good ending that wrapped everything up and felt "final".

I know this was a good book because I already want to read it again and I had a pen in hand while reading it, because there was so much that I wanted to mark and remember.
