It seemed like I read this book before...(The Friday Night Knitting Club?). It was a rather formulaic story about the challenges faced by a 50ish group of women: death, divorce, children, illness, sex, marriage problems,money, grey hair etc. Oh, yes...overweight as well. I could see the author with her scorecard trying to get all the issues in so we could identify with the characters. She forgot alcoholism (although one character drinks too much wine so she sorta got that in). It wasn't an unpleasant read, and raised life issues we all need to think about, but it was obvious where it was going. When I got to the repeated phrase, "You go, girl!" toward the end I gagged.

Recommended for people who like really light chick-lit type books.

It did give me a chuckle to think that the Book Club in the book would have never read this book. :)
