Hi Carolyn,

I'm sorry I missed this comment. The book was a good read. I really enjoyed the second half of the book a lot better than the first half. The first half of the book seemed to be or tried to be a lot like SATC but not as enjoyable. I was not familiar with Stephanie Klein blog prior to reading the book. Maybe if I had been I might have enjoyed the first half of the book.
