Review

Very Moving and Powerful!, March 29, 2007 By Marilyn I read the first book and was hooked. I could not wait for this book to be published. Wow! I feel that I really know all the characters personally. Their struggles, their joy, their sorrow and their accomplishments. A must read. I could not put the book down until I was finished. Can't wait for the next book. The best book so far..., April 10, 2007 By Jennifer I loved this book! I thought the first one was great, but I think this one was even better. What those three women went through is so touching, and still true-to-life. A lot of LDS books sometimes come off as cheesy or campy, but this series is DEFINITELY not one of them. Can't wait for more! --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

I think 3 1/2 stars would be the best rating for this one.

This book picks up where Almost Sisters left off. Definitely don't start with this one. You would be completely lost. I was pretty lost and I *did* read the first one. I think a little chart telling who is who at the beginning of the book would make it MUCH easier to read.

The three friends wind up in some serious situations, Erin with marital trouble, Juneau unhappy because of a daughter's teen pregnancy, Deenie with a surprise pregnancy and illness of her own. I did sympathize with the women, but I have to agree with another reviewer who pointed out that these seem to be a little too many crises thrown in here. It seems like everything that could be a problem, was a problem. I know life is complicated, and I certainly have my share of trouble, but it was a bit too much for me. It read more like a soap opera than realistic fiction.

I admit though that I stayed up until 1:30 to see what happened. I will definitely read the third in the series, and hope that it is a little more realistic.

Book 1 was good, book 2 really good and book 3 leaves me hoping for a 4th book. It reminds me of real life and how important our relationships are!
