The story was pretty good. Overall I enjoyed the book. Ultimately, I think they all wanted the same thing but went about it differently. It was insightful to hear other women characters perspectives on life, men, and relationships. Although I can't relate to their situations, there was something that each said, experienced, or discussed that I was familiar with. The banter amongst themselves reminds me of any girl friend group. I'm sure we have or know a friend similar to one of the characters which made the book interesting to me. I like the ending as well.
This was a good book. 3 different women dealing with their relationships with men. They had to look at themselves and realize why they viewed men a certain way and why they allowed them to treat them the way they did. In the end, it was about self-worth and what they wanted.
This was a good book. I went through the ups and downs of three couples relationships from the female perspective. Some of the relationships survived, some didn't but I think all of the women had growth. I liked the stories and would love a follow up on their lives.
