This book was okay, not great. While it was well-written, the story really did not move along at all until the very end of the almost 400 pages. The entire book was spent learning about the characters' backgrounds and their parents' backgrounds and where everyone came from to get where they are today.
And I don't have kids so maybe I don't understand, but the entire way through this book with Amy and her friends talking about how they stayed home to be with their kids for the last ten years and debating going back to work, blah blah blah, I just kept thinking "get off your butt and do something!" Her one kid is TEN, he's at school all day, her husband is barely able to make ends meet, find some way to contribute! There are certainly millions of stay at home mothers out there who are amazing and do so much for their families and their communities- this lady is not one of them.
The characters were boring, immature and selfish and the book really did not do much for me. I was glad when it was over.
