This was a new author for me and not my usual type of book and initially I did struggle trying to keep abreast of the  characters but as the book progressed it became easier as we got to know the three friends Stella,ana and Dixie and followed the ups and downs of their love life, work life and friendship! Ultimately it showed how long standing friendships can weather the up and downs that are thrown at it and together the trio come out with a stronger,better friendship group! A good read but it didn’t really draw me in  however I would be interested in reading further books from this author.
Thank you net galley for this early read.

This is an absolutely brilliant debut novel, i'm still in shock that this is a debut novel. 



This is one of those books that caught my eye on twitter and instagram, the cover is eye-catchingly gorgeous. I do love a bright colour!


I have loved following the frenemies- Stella, Ana and Dixie throughout this one. It has been a nice escape to read about the decisions, regrets and betrayals that take place throughout this one. 

I have found the characters likeable, but have not completely related to them on the whole. This is a book which I have devoured in one sitting whilst sat with the sunshine. This is an author who I have high hopes for and I am extremely excited to see what the future holds. 

This is a book I will be recommending to other readers, I have really enjoyed this one and found myself wanting to read more by this author.

Disclaimer - I received a free digital download of this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I found the first few lines very comical, especially being a mother myself, unfortunately I’m well aware of the shopping trolley - toddler struggle. However, I did find it difficult to get pulled into the book at first. 

The story follows 3 friends - Stella, Ana and Dixie. Getting to know them through their families, children and lovers. Some might think them unlikely friends who’ve grown and gone down very different routes, but somehow their history still bonds them. 

I found this book quite difficult to get into, I’m not entirely sure if it was the writing style or the theme of the story as I have found it quite difficult to read ‘midlife’ crisis, older woman books. I did like that no matter what happened between the women, they managed to sort out their differences and came out stronger on the other side. I think everybody needs friends they can count on to have their backs no matter what. 

Trigger warning : infidelity, gambling.

This book follows three women. First is Stella who to have a high flying career but now has two children, brewing financial troubles and her husband seems distance. Secondly we have Ana who is trying for a baby but is her heart really and lastly we have Dixie who is living her life to it’s fullest and not looking settle down. 

I found this book to be a in between book for me. I didn’t love it but didn’t dislike it. 

I enjoyed the friendship between the three women. 

I did find parts of the book unrealistic (e.g. Them all going to New York at the drop of hat). 

Overall it wasn’t a bad read and it did have me laughing at parts. 

I received a ARC from Netgalley and HQ for an objection review.

The plot and writing in this book is funny and well paced. 
The  friendship of the three girls is highly relatable for those that have had friends for a long, long time.

It didn’t completely blow me away, due to the fact I didn't really buy into the actions of any of the women being overly realistic. 

That said, individually, the plotlines were fun, very different from each other and all tackled things that a woman is "supposed" to find joy in

⭐⭐⭐.5/5
Read about best frenemies, Stella, Ana and Dixie's life changing decisions, regrets and betrayals. Where will they end up? Will it all work out? Should they have regrets?
This is one of the hardest reviews I've written, purely because I'm slightly conflicted, I loved reading what happened with their lives and how things ended but also I personally found it hard to relate to any of the 3 main characters. However, each and every character at one point or another, I felt for, wanted to give them a hug and keep them safe. Other times I wanted to give them a good shake and say what are you doing! Definitely an adults book with raunchy moments that you might not necessarily see coming! Over all not my usual type of book but I still enjoyed reading it non the less!
Thank you to NetGalley, the publicist and author for giving me an advanced digital copy of this book.

For fans of Bridget Jones and Dawn O’Porter’s books, this story follows 3 women who are finding out that getting older doesn’t mean your life is in order ... Stella used to be a career woman, now she finds herself bored and looking after her two children, with financial problems on the horizon. Ana wants a baby, doesn’t she? At 40, she needs to make a choice soon. Dixie is the only one who life seems to be coming together for ... or is it? This is an enjoyable tale of female friendship, although occasionally I did feel as though there was something missing when certain relationships were described, and some of the more intimate scenes seemed to be there just for the sake of it. But overall, a summer read that deals with the realities of life and becoming disenchanted with what is right in front of you.
