4.0

If you love character-driven novels, you will probably really enjoy this. I think this novel was well-written and the characters were very compelling. It was an interesting snapshot of the issues women in their thirties face, including dating, relationships, parenting, rejection, family dynamics, caring for aging parents, and friendships.

I like the book a lot, but the pace is quite slow and it's very character-driven without much of a plot.
