A good, fast paced read. Reminiscent of Nanny Diaries or Devil Wears Prada in NYC cut throat setting of finance. I liked the characters, not Rick, but we all know someone like him!!😒😏 I also appreciate when the author lets a character rescue themselves👍🏻📚

I loved it! 3 women meet and forge friendships, romances and a business while living on and off the canal system of England. A great escape and I may look into a canal vacay😉👌🏻💕

I liked it. I generally don't like alternating back and forth in time in novels . Characters and stories usually suffer with one storyline lacking, but here the author keeps it very interesting. NYC in the 50's, career girls at the Barbizon, and a good mystery that brings past and present together very nicely. Well done, good read📚👍🏻🤓

The story reminded me a lot of the movie "The Turning Point", with variations. I like the movie much more.

This book was so good! Relevant, smart, funny, a bit of romance. AND for a parent with grown children paying college debt, very relatable!!

Julian Fellowes's Belgravia | Julian Fellowes

Pickpick

War and Peace, meets Downton Abbey?!? Well, sort of. The book is well written if not a little predictable. The secret in which the story revolves is reveled early on, but the journeys that family members take keeps it interesting. As always Mr Fellowes is spot on in period details, so you are transported. Overall, well done and recommended read👍🏻👍🏻😊📚

Such a story. Loved that the author told it from all perspectives. A lot of detail, but never bogged down in it. Felt the pain and happiness and the last chapter...well, pass the tissues. Must read👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️😊

Truly Madly Guilty | Liane Moriarty
Mehso-so

Hhhmmmm.... Not sure. The story was good, but muddled. Took me more then a few chapters to get hooked. I liked the authors writing style of going back and forth in the details of "the barbecue" and developing the characters from there. My favorite chapter is about the old neighbor Harry near the end. Overall, it just seemed very long?

Joanne1 I agree this would have been better and less muddled about 200 pages shorter. 8y

Alison Arngrim is hilarious, insightful and inspirational. This book is nicely written and full of great stories about her time on the show and the other cast members. The most compelling stories, however, are probably the ones about Alison's own childhood and family. Truly amazing that she did not become another child actor tragedy. Loved it, love her! Read it❤️😊

Disappointing. The preview reads "telling from her side for the first time." The trouble is, she pretty much just retells entire episodes of the show without adding very much personal detail. It's just VERY dull.

SassyCat75 I liked it, but I enjoyed Alison Arngrim's book better. Also Melissa Gilbert's book was better too. 7y
royallyregan93 I totally agree. It wasn‘t super personal. She pretty much just summarizes some of the episodes. I wanted some back story and there wasn‘t much of it from her point of view. Also, I listened to Alison Arngrim‘s book via audiobook and she narrates it and it is such an amazing experience. She does voices and is so expressive!! (edited) 5y

I loved the story and the characters. Was about to be let down by the ending, but then realized there's more!! The memory of Lemon! Anyways.. I'm sure some will be disappointed with lack of recipes that may be expected, but I liked the story of the small town and families and friends. Good beach read👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️🤓🤓
