"This book was a wild ride, that's for sure!"

Jonathan Kent

"I'm not sure why, but I liked the show better than the book. I thought the book was a little boring. There were more twists in the show, and, of course, Reese Witherspoon!"

Kristi Meyer

"I love this book because to me it shows how people should be treated with respect."

Jessica

" I absolutely loved the beginning of this book. It gave me the giggles in several places. The characters are totally relatable and each of the 3 characters the chapters focus on are all living a different life style. You have a single mother, a divorced but remarried mother, and the beautiful woman who is in the perfect marriage (or is she?). Lots of chapters end with little blurbs from character interviews that is the only insight you get in the trivia night death until the last 50 pages. And a twist in those pages blew my mind. This book lost my full 5 star review as the middle got a little boring. Super strong start, strong closing, but it could have been shorter. "

"I'm usually an insufferable snob about this genre, but I'm listening to the audiobook and it's really good - perfect narrator. And it's funny! Are all of her books so self-aware? Thanks for the recommendation. : ) "

"I think this book could have stood another round of edits - the mommy wars stuff at the start dragged on way too long and there was a lot of stuff that felt like filler, but I did like the overall message."
