I bought the first book during one of the Stuff Your Kindle Days last year, the first was okay I wanted more, and I think this is becoming a running theme where the blurb has got more information than the actual book. 

This book is based on the Rosebud girls, a group of girls who lived in Rosebud. They've had a dream since high school to own the Rosebud Lodge. This dream is now becoming a reality. The last thing Callie has room for in her life is a new relationship. Between the lodge being remodelled, being the glue that keeps her beloved Rosebud Girls together, and her real estate firm, her hands are more than full but that doesn’t keep Callie from wishing she had one. Saffron has very few enemies, in fact, up until her legal woes with her previous partners she would say she only had one enemy, an arch-nemesis if you will. And guess who her new sous-chef is? Alex. Kenzie was sure the worst of her woes were behind her. Bryan is relatively healthy and now she’s got a job where she not only got works way fewer hours, but she also gets to work with her friends. Life is looking up. Until what she thought was a small fight with Bryan turns out to be much more. Hazel went on one date with Dylan. It was all she promised him, and it was all she is planning on giving. He's too . . . well, incredible if she’s honest with herself. And she doesn’t need an incredible man in her life. She needs to focus on her children and her new job. She just barely got out of twenty-year marriage for heaven’s sake. But when Dylan is relentless, and Hazel doesn’t have much of an excuse for saying no to him other than he’s too good to be true? Laurel swears that hamsters make more progress in their lives than she does with her. She’s still staying at Callie’s house, reliant on her for nearly everything. She’s still worried about her future. And she still has no idea what to do about her past. But when it all catches up to her, Laurel has some decisions to make. Will she stand by her husband as she goes on trial for her crimes? Life has a way of getting even the best of us down and the Rosebud Girls are no exception.  

I liked the storyline, and I liked how it carries on straight after book one and there has been no time jumps and how the friendship is going on. I loved the friendship between the girls and how they would still defend each other no matter what they are going through and the children calling the girls auntie. I also like the fact that they call each other out from time to time when they need to. The message throughout this story is the importance of good friends and sticking to your promises but also making compromises based on a friend's situations. I feel like this book is still just putting the feelers out for the series – but it is more based on the love interests being introduced for Callie, Saffron and Hazel.  

I just wanted more. It felt like it was all blending into one. All the girls were blending into one, I was getting confused, the only way that I was remember whose chapter or point of view we were reading from was because of the children or the love interests. But all the girls' personalities are starting to blend as one. It just felt very rushed, I just wanted more details and maybe some chapters from the boys' point of view as I still don’t trust Callie’s love interest.  

This was a short read but hopefully we get more depth, and the personalities stand out a bit more within the next book.
