Apr 28, Jane rated it liked it. This was a welcome light read after a few slightly heavier, more intellectually stimulating books. For me, there were shades of The Big Chill an 80's Lawrence Kasdan film where a group of college graduates meet up ensemble for the first time in years.
This was not quite as complicated and didn't centre around the death of a group member. Witty, funny and a good take on life.

I can identify with Laura and Sam's crisis, I had my third child later on and OH was a little 'surprised' shall we say. That was the turning point in his decision to see the doctor with the big shears!

Chick lit, yes, but for everyone. Jul 21, Pamela Darling rated it liked it. I eventually read this book to the end which confirmed my original thoughts that it would end weakly. It's an easy read, but not the sort of book that I would recommend if readers like to be engrossed with the characters.

Ognuno di loro nasconde segreti che li riguardano tutti, segreti custoditi per anni per evitare di rovinare la loro amicizia e di ferirsi inutilmente. Sep 15, Nrr rated it liked it.
