It's a fine book and I think it's difficult to find that line that is good without being amazing.

I like to read books by Philly area authors, and so it was one of the first books I wrote about on my blog. <br /><br />In that post, I focused on discussing the legal landscape of surrogacy in Pennsylvania. As for the book, this is what I thought: "The four women tell their stories in first person past tense, and their observations and tones are highly similar. I would have preferred a third person omniscient narrator with a single voice, giving the author an opportunity to differentiate the unique personalities of the four women through dialogue. Otherwise, the story is appealing, the writing is good, it and strikes many of the same themes as Jennifer Weiner’s earlier works." <br /><br />I really think Weiner's best book is Good In Bed, but the rest aren't bad (not that I've read them all).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3647764256243880883.post-68130298163144125592014-05-23T10:40:31.482-04:002014-05-23T10:40:31.482-04:00I find Jennifer Weiner's books to be enjoyable...I find Jennifer Weiner's books to be enjoyable. I just don't adore them the way I love some other stories.<br /><br />I actually read that one a few years ago!

I recently finished this book myself and found it to be very emotionally impacting, especially as a (new) mother. To be honest, there were a few cliché 'teenage' scenes, however the book as a whole was a really great read and covered more than just motherhood - friendship, love, loss, mystery. <br /><br />:-)<br /><a href="http://www.lifesopenpages.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Bits & Bobs</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
