I read the first story in this book--which was how the group of women met in school.  Honestly, after reading the story I could have told you a little bit about the male characters, who got decent descriptions, but the females were pretty much described in one-word--"athletic" or "blonde" or . . . not enough, anyway, to make them memorable.  All events were narrated but with no scenes to recall--they travel to a horse farm, but what does it look like?  How's the sky?  Are there white fences?  I want a story that puts me in the middle of it--smelling the smells, feeling the texture of the furniture, whatever.  This book is simply a series of events reported as in a newspaper.  At the end, the author says they all knew each other from then on, including a person who wasn't even in the story, so why should I care about her?I didn't make it any further in the series--I couldn't think of a reason why I'd want to.
