mom drama, frenemies, fun & sweet read
Review:
I was so pleasantly surprised by this book. I absolutely loved everything about it from the storyline to the characters.
Thoughts:
-While I’m not a mom like the MC Fallon, everyone goes through friendship struggles so it can be relatable to everyone
-Everyone knows a Fallon, so it made reading about her easy to understand and empathize with. She's just a mom trying to juggle her daughter, husband, friends, and up-and-coming business. Her insecurities were all explained fully and she was given such depth
-I loved her relationship with Elenor and how when the whole town turned on Elenor, Fallon knew she was a true friend and had her back
-Cathryn did a great job writing a light and fun read that included real-life problems. I laughed out loud quite a few times at the dramatics of small-town PTA parents
-Watching Fallon find herself and grow into the best version of herself with her supportive family and friends was heartwarming. I felt like her friend cheering her on
-I’m a big fan of when books normalize going to therapy and Cathryn beautifully wrote Fallon’s growth through therapy without making it seem like a big dramatic thing
-My biggest takeaway is the important message that you can’t save every friendship no matter how hard you try. That it’s okay to prioritize your own mental health over saving a friendship that you’ve outgrown or one that likely can’t be saved
I genuinely enjoyed this story and absolutely adored the ending!
Thank you Netgalley, Annie Cathryn, and Dreamscape Media for the opportunity to review this book!
