This book is well written and really depicts the lives we have/had. Each woman has grown up in a very different way with some trauma they remember.
Throughout the book you learn about their present lives, how the feel about it and wonder how the dreams the had growing up that many didn't materialze and maybe at this late stage, never would.
The author gave a very descriptive look into the current lives of all seven women. Some who had different partners since their relationships didn't work out. Their famuly dynamics are lightly touched on, but most of the time they are discussing topics together and wondering where their younger age dreams and remember their goals and dreams they had before.
The book was entertaining, revealing and flowed very well amongst the characters. I appears to be a heart felt give and take, I envied the fact that they could all get together once again and talk about things.
It is a very easy and worthwhile read and you don't want to miss it!

I received an ARC from the author.

I was really excited to request this book because the premise sounded right up my alley. I especially love books with more “mature” characters and I honestly wish there were more stories like that.

I’m so glad this one lived up to my expectations. I really enjoyed the writing style and I felt connected to every single woman in this book. I loved how it follows different women reflecting on their lives, past traumas, relationships that didn’t work out and the dreams they never got to pursue. It handled all of those topics with so much care and tenderness. I don’t want to give too much of the story away, but I got really emotional at times.
I was completely immersed from beginning to end and I found myself thinking about my own life while reading it. This book will stay with me, for a long time.
It felt like such a unique read and I honestly can’t think of another book quite like it. I’d definitely recommend picking this one up.

Thank you netgalley and Victory Editing for the Arc.

This was a beautiful, almost lyrical story about a group of upper middle aged women who come together for a weekend camping trip. The reader gets an insider’s view into the dynamics of their relationships, how they know each other, and the way they feel about their respective lives. It’s written in such a way that you feel like a member of the group, experiencing everything the group is. This is a very reflective book, and the author does a wonderful job of leading the reader to introspection as she unfurls the life, history, and connections of each character. Is your life everything you hoped it would be? Did your careful plans work out? Where do you fit in?
I love that as these women gather for a weekend, it’s the small moments of togetherness and connection that provide the reassurance and strength they individually need. This is a wonderful late summer read that highlights the importance of female friendships, nature, and the preciousness of life.
