Review: Great Installment in Three Girls Series (5 Stars)
Rating: 5 out of 5

This is the fifth book in the "Three Girls" series and I was so blown away about how much I loved it and how sad it is to see the end of the girls..(maybe?)Unlike with the previous novels being told from only one of the girls points of views this one is told from Ginny, Jen, and Annie's points of views. We have all of the girls happily settled and in two cases are moms. With more pressure on all of the girls whether it be from their professional lives or when it comes to comparing themselves to other mothers they are starting to keep things from one another and starting to feel resentful of each other.What I thought was quite realistic is that as you grow up you stop telling your friends every thing that is going on with you. You have a husband/boyfriend/partner that you start to share things with and often if it is too private you feel embarrassed or ashamed to say to a friend that you are jealous of them or having a hard time. It makes you feel as if you are less of a woman somehow if you admit you can't do it all. So with all of the girls falling apart in their own ways when it comes to changes that are going on in all of their lives I thought it was quite realistic that eventually everything would implode.The only thing I wish had been elaborated on more was the character of Kiki in this story. I loved reading Kiki's story in "The Truth About Ever After" and thought she was more a part of the group now at the conclusion of that novel. It just felt at times she was excluded from the gatherings and hanging out going on with all of the girls.You definitely won't be disappointed if you pick up this novel! I suggest you read the other novels in the series first though so you can find out who is who. Start out with "Three Girls and a Baby" and work your way from there.
