Review
This was a fun and dare I saw raunchy book!
The characters made this book, each with their own unique personalities and struggles. I found myself quite invested in their own stories and how it would all end up. I liked that each got their own chapters so that we could focus more on their lives and what was happening, although please be warned there is quite a lot of sex throughout this book!
This book was incredibly well written and I generally liked the plot to the book with three best friends who are struggling to come to terms with the fact that they are coming up for forty.
However I did find myself some parts of the book unrealistic, with them jetting off to New York whenever with no real explanation on how, especially with Stella who has just found out some bad news. There is no real thought to her children and no one can just up and jet off to New York when they like. There is a lot involved with this decision and it all happened so quickly.
I wasn’t a fan of how everything seemed to just wrap up nicely at the end. There was a lot that went on at the end of the book and with a click of the fingers everything was fixed. I also feel like Stella’s feelings with her own sexuality could have been dealt with a bit differently and explored a lot deeper rather.
Overall, this was a very light-hearted with friendship at its core. This is definitely a good summer read for those who are a fan of chick-lit!
Rating: 3/5 stars
