If you like the Friday Night Knitting Club, then you'll most likely like this book too. It is one I think my book club would enjoy. I liked the recipe variations and would love to try the chocolate carmel brownies. A sweet, fast read though predictable.

A clear favorite - as an overly-sentimental person, I found this book filled with many sweet moments. It was cleverly written - not just another bit of chick lit - truly, stories were real and kind of painful but twisted into something bittersweet, and good...of course, a little cheesy at times, but overall a great read - I admit I teared up a lot as I was reading along, I loved the characters - and there are many - sweet book.

This was the kind of book I’ve been needing to break me out of my reading slump and to touch me. A very sweet story of friendship and forgiveness that actually made me cry at one point. I loved these ladies, I felt their pain, I rooted for reconciliation. I’d had this book on my TBR list for probably 8 or 9 years and I’m glad I finally picked it up! I’ll definitely be reading this author again.
