review 1: 3.5 StarsFor some reason I thought this would be a wacky fun read, but there were areas that were definitely not lighthearted. At times I didn't know whether to be offended or just see the positives in the book. I definitely rolled my eyes a lot. As for the characters...I liked some of them and disliked just as many.Meet Tate. Overall, I liked her, but there was definitely a time or two in this book where I sat there completely baffled how she could be so clueless. Tate is a nurse married to an attorney. She is a strong woman, for the most part. She is attractive, loyal, and pretty straight forward....most of the time. Her best friend is Missy. Missy on the other hand is a piece of work. Not completely irredeemable, but damn, she came close. It was amazing that two very di... morefferent women could be friends. Missy and Tate met in college under extreme circumstances. Since then, they have been steadfast friends. Although Tate did not grow up on the wrong side of the tracks, she was not raised the same as Missy, who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and raised to believe that everyone is beneath her. Actually, it's amazing she met someone willing to marry her. And don't get me started with John. Through Missy, Tate met her husband, Ben. Talk about a snake in sheep's clothing. Snake, I said it. If there was anyone I disliked more than Missy, it was Ben. Liar, cheater, abusive snob that he is. Tate is Missy's Matron of honor, and around working and trying to help Missy with planning her wedding, she doesn't realize or just doesn't care enough that she rarely sees her husband and has no clue about his extra-curricular activities. However, she does take notice of the new doctor in town who happens to be all the things her mother would approve of....as does she although she doesn't want to admit it to herself.The book was actually written well, it is just some of the subjects and some of the characters that made it so that I couldn't love this book. We have anorexia, infidelity, abuse, alcohol issues, lying, and betrayal. When your best friend knows things that could hurt you and doesn't tell you, and actually thinks that it can be worked around, well, it makes me just want to gouge out her eyes for you. But we also have forgiveness, friendship, loyalty, and love so it helps to balance out the negative. Overall, I liked the book, but I don't think everyone will.
review 2: This book is really good! It starts off with you thinking the book is going to go in one direction and then goes off in a completely different direction, leaving you guessing as to what's happening. Some of the characters you can't help but like, Tate, for example. Then there are others who fit in a gray area like Missy. And then there are those you just out right dislike. It also deals with complicated material, adding layers of depth to the book. It's not all sunshine and roses, but it's written extremely well. less
