I could have loved this book. I loved chunks of this book. I didn't love all of it though. Some if it seemed disjointed or pasted together. Some relationships and stories didn't fully develop or seem to have a point. I loved the exploration of mother/daugther relationship and I wish that had been the focus. The love stories never seemed as strong in comparison.
Fun and entertaining and well written and I only WISH I actually knew women like this in my southern girlhood.
One of the most over done, sappy, sentimental pieces of crap I've ever read.
