For fans of Laura Hankin and Jennifer Weiner, this fresh, clever, and complex debut mom-com explores the ups and downs of friendship and what happens when those you trust the most leave you high and dry. A plucky protagonist who's far from figuring it all out-but powers through with wit and determination-Fallon is a heroine millennial moms will instantly connect with. Fallon Monroe, mother of one, self-help book junkie, and budding chocolatier, has always relied on her mom friends in the Chicago suburbs to get her through the trials of adulthood. So when her bestie Beatrice inexplicably starts ghosting her and takes all their mutual friends with her, Fallon's left wondering how everything went so wrong. Pushing down a lifetime of insecurities, Fallon doubles down and decides to win them back. First, she hosts an epic Mexican fiesta that goes epically wrong. Then she joins a friendship app but discovers a disturbing secret about one of her new friends. Just when she's about to throw in the towel on the whole friendship mess, Fallon reads a recently unearthed letter she'd refused to deal with decades earlier-and reading it forces her to finally face the deep-seated fears she'd desperately tried to bury. Now, looking at her friendships through fresh eyes, she must decide between hanging on and letting go. Fallon is an instantly likeable heroine-as vulnerable as she is determined-and she'll have readers eagerly turning the pages as they join her on an emotional journey into the hopes and fears of adulthood.… (altro)

The fact that the writing was good doesn't make up for the fact that the main character was whiny and mopey to the main character was for most of the book. When she wasn't bemoaning her friend drama (which could have been solved more simply if she'd bothered to ask what was wrong instead of inventing scenarios in her head), she was self-sabotaging with ill-advised plans and catastrophes that were caused or exacerbated by her lack of thinking ahead. Or she was drinking, which seemed to be a common theme throughout. (My husband kept track of her drinks on her trip to New York, and there were enough to cause liver damage, particularly paired with the painkillers and muscle relaxers.)

I'm just relieved that the author didn't find a way for the broken friendships to magically become "all better!" with a handwave at the end. ( )

This is a great, realistic but witty story about early motherhood and female friendships. There are so many factors at play with both of these things that loom large in a woman's life. Thoroughly enjoyable if you are experiencing the 'controlled chaos' of parenting while trying to maintain female friendships yourself.

I could totally see this adapted for Netflix or Hallmark. A great read!

This is such a cute book. Has a Hallmark movie feel. This is a story about a mom in her late thirties trying to balance family, friends, and her dream to have a thriving chocolate shop. As a mom myself, I could relate with trying to juggle life and trying to fit in friends. At times, I felt the main character acted younger than her age. But she grew into her own as the story progressed. The ending was bittersweet. But I was left smiling when the book was finished ( )

Fallon is having friendship issues, for some reason her best friend Beatrice is ghosting her and that is just the start of her problems. She is being left out of the loop about other activities that her friends are doing and she finds out on social media. What is going on and the harder she tries to find out the worse thing seem to get. ( )

This book is definitely made for soccer moms. I wasn't super absorbed in the feelings that the protagonist was describing because felt like the writing was a little rushed and there was a lot going on, but I think there's a good lesson about prioritizing your own interests and feelings, no matter what the fallout is. Overall, solid 3, probably would score higher with the 40 y/o crowd. ( )
