    " Read during a book club/circle thing my family did one year. Anyway, not my usual choice for reading. Predictable, blah, no meaning. Just mindless diversion. An easy read. Entertaining if you're stuck in a waiting room, maybe. "

    " the first novella was a fun read. although it seemed the main character was overreacting about her past, but then again maybe it is plausable. it had some funny moments. i liked the friends interactions which were funny re the childrens authors ex-boyfriends's new woman. "

    " I really like the mix of stories in this book. The first story I laughed so hard but it did take a twist but finished nicely. Finishing it off with Debbie's story is always a joy. I enjoyed this one and look forward to many more. "

    " First three books in this compilation are appropriate for most ages. The last book is more explicit, however, is a MUCH shorter story. The last book also, in my opinion, is not that well written and leaves a lot to guesswork. "
