This was fun. I loved reading about all the characters improving their lives and overcoming their obstacles. I liked all the characters too. I did enjoy this book, however, I did find it very slow at times which is not my favorite reading style. Overall, I liked it but I do have gripe with Josie’s storyline. Personally, I think they were all too hard on her. Was she mean to Carol’s husband? Yes, but it’s what he deserved. I am on Josie’s side. Sometimes people are losers and Carol needs to accept that her husband is one.
