This book was just a little above ok for me which is why I gave it 3 stars instead of 2. It did get better after a very rough start for me but I don't feel changed in any way after reading this book and it would be hard to tell you exact details of the story. So truly there are better books out there and better ways to spend your time.

I am a sucker for lifetime spanning tales of friendship and family.I really like them when they are about girls. Add the south and humor and this book hits the trifecta.

I did finish this book but I did not really enjoy reading it. The story was chopped up and I really didn't get the point.

I don’t usually write reviews but wanted to remember why I gave three stars. I usually zip through books quite quickly. For some reason I struggled with this book. I had to re-read sentences, even paragraphs, often. I found the storyline choppy. Overall I think it was sensory overload. Perhaps just too much going on. It didn’t flow for me. Running a semi-public library and source for tiny libraries out of my garage loft, I read anything anyone hands me. Some will certainly love this book.

I enjoyed the humor and self reflection in this book. The idea of "Girl Math" to determine your age is great!!
