Reviews

[Jolene · Rating 2 out of 5]

Dan and I began reading this book as a fun activity to share together. We made it through the first half, but it wasn't holding our interest and didn't have a lot of meat to it. It especially bored Dan. I continued reading it on my own, and found the last three chapters to be very valuable. I would definitely read the last three chapters again. They spoke right to the situation I am in as a young mother.
