It is summer in San Francisco. Jade, Lorna, Ally, Jillian and their offspring face new barriers and challenges. Not just in regards to the Pacific Heighs Moms & Tots Club, but also on a personal and professional basis. Is Bettina (owner of the club) as untouchable and superior as she thinks?If you follow my blog, you will know that I really enjoy reading the Totlandia series. Book 4 is the newest edition. Although you could read this book as a stand-alone, I would highly recommend reading the first 3 parts beforehand. Otherwise you might struggle to keep up with the characters and most importantly the escapades they have already been through.I feel that Totlandia, Book 4 features the characters as a lot more mature. The way they interact with each other and around one another seems to be a lot more controlled. I especially liked the focus of Jillian’ and Scott’s (her ex-husband) relationship. They have certainly been through a lot. Can they both come out stronger in the end?The superficial character traits (especially from the other club members) are even more prominent in this book. I thought I knew it all by now, but there were still some connections that took me by surprise. Josie brilliantly manages to keep up the reader’s interest throughout.There were already some extremely steamy scenes in the other Totlandia parts, but in Book 4 those scenes were partly taken to the extreme (I thought that these went a bit far – but this is obviously only my personal opinion).
