Read 2 times. Last read December 22, 2017.
Loved this book more after the show and a re/read
I love how the three women became close friends. I loved how Madeline took Jane and Ziggy in and was a truly great friend. And she's funny too.
Madeline has a husband and three kids, one of which she shares with her ex-husband. She's not happy about any of this but it is what it is. And it makes her a bit crazy which is understandable.
Jane is a single mom to Ziggy whom she loves very much. Jane's has a sad story too but I'm so glad she had so many great new friends to back her up!
Celeste is living in a world of lies but it all works out in the end
I don't care about the murder. I think it was well deserved and I don't care what anyone thinks about that statement. 😊
In the end it all comes down to great friends and taking care of one another.
Happy Reading.

Old 2015 Review
When I first started this book I was confused and not sure I could get through it because I checked out the audio version from my library. But.. I soon got into it and starting learning about the characters and fell in love with it. This book WILL be put on my Amazon wishlist to be bought and read again!
I loved listening to these people's lives. Each person had a sad story to tell, just regular life for most people. I was so upset when little Ziggy was targeted as a bully when he was not, and this in turn made people and children start bullying him! I didn't think that was right. I was so glad to find out the real reason behind all of that and to find out that Ziggy was a little trooper for it.
We all know the book starts out with a murder by the blurb and anyone that has read the first of the book. But it doesn't say who or what, it goes right into telling about the people involved on that fateful night and their lives.
I was so shocked at the end. I DID NOT see that one coming at all. It's not just about trying to figure out who murdered who..whom? You think you might know what's going to happen by the things being told about these stories of each woman's life, but you just don't. There are several little surprises in the book and a few people you would like to beat into a pulp.
I just thoroughly loved this book. I have to say this is the first book I have read by this author but it's not going to the last if they are as good as this one!

Judging by this book I agree!
Thank you Brenda :)
I'm just starting this one now. I agree it's a bit scattered at first but I'm only starting the second chapter. a lot of great books have hard starts so it doesn't discourage me at all.
Enjoy =)
Lovely review Mel! I still haven't read this one. Shame on me!
I loved this book and the show too

I like your new and old review Melissa. I just finished watching the mini-series and want to re-read the book now too!
Thank you hon 💕😊. I love the mini series!
Thank you love 💕😊
GREAT book. I always look forward to her releases xoxo
I read this back when you probably did the first time, so my memories of it were fairly vague... remembered it was in the Monterey area, and kids and moms and disputes, but I remember being surprised how much I had enjoyed it at the time. Then I watched the show, which brought it all back - and more. Loved both. I'm so glad you snuck in a re-read of this, Mel! Loved reading both of your wonderful reviews! xo
