I really enjoyed this book and I adore Elyssa Friedland's work. The women felt so real and vulnerable and I liked the journey that each of them went on as the story progressed. I love women empowerment and female friendships and that inclusion was nice. Parts of it did feel catty to me at times and each woman was a bit questionable, but it did ultimately lead to success. I also thought the idea of a school reunion was really interesting and that progression from high school to adulthood made for a great plot point. I liked the diversity of the women and how they can be multi-faceted and successful in various ways. I did think the ending was a tad too abrupt and I would have loved more concrete resolutions for the main characters. Overall, this was a quick and lighthearted contemporary and I liked it.
