The friendships are lovely. The narration is great. But the overall story is just... fine. Having three main characters gives a writer the opportunity to represent more of a range in terms of marriages/relationships, but that opportunity was missed. The two husbands were so similarly disappointing, that I could barely tell them apart.  

Now that I've read this, the cover really bothers me. Neither the ages nor sizes described in the book are represented on the cover. The women are older than the cover makes them appear and one of them is plus-sized- I think it's important that the illustration matches and represents who the characters are.
