I have mixed feeling about this. The story itself was actually quite enjoyable but there were a few things that I didn’t enjoy throughout the book that I had to knock my rating down to three stars.

What I liked:
- Overall Storytelling: The story was actually quite and what I expected from a book with this type of title

- The book club: I really enjoyed that the book club was not just the way the women met but also important throughout the story

- Small town vibe: I could really picture the neighbour hood and the people living in this area which was quite enjoyable

What I didn’t like:
- Family Dynamics: I just absolutely hated how Patricia was treated - especially by her husband. I mean I get that this is supposed to be set in the 90s but that was just a little too much for me. Also how the women just ‚obeyed‘ their husbands was just something that made me a little mad and therefore not enjoyable for me. Also I didn’t really connect with any of the children and I think that was also partly due to the family dynamics.

- Missing explanations: Sometimes I just couldn’t follow their though process of Patricia and her book club friends (and husbands!)

- The length: I think a good junk of the book could have been cut
