Better plot in this example of popular fiction. This centers on the relationships of three women in the state of Colorado. Each of these women have been separated / divorced from their husbands and are looking for new love. In addition, they have children (teenagers mostly) who have their own loves. The story grabs your attention because you wonder how each woman will turn out. Blume does a good job of creating drama and fiction in her main characters. The conflicts keep you engaged and the characters mostly seem very real. Easy read but enjoyable.

An interesting tale of a wife who has a mid life crisis and wonders what would have happened if she had married her first love and not her husband. She then has an affair with him and discovers some interesting lessons. In addition, this woman is thrown into other affairs with hilarious consequences and she discovers weird love secrets of her friends and families that help shape her decisions both positively and negatively. A little difficult to get through because there is hardly and motivation to end the story except internal. You probably could live without reading because the main character gets very annoying.

Wow, Judy Blume. I remember reading so many of her books at a young age. When I saw she was writing adult literature, I could not resist. Unfortunately, I cannot garner any true intellectual insight from this novel. It is what I call a fun read part of popular junk books. She does an excellent job tracing the lines of two friends who promise to be together always through their lives. We see them grow together and apart. This novel is quite similar to a soap opera which keeps you turning the pages. This novel is a quick read but it really does not have any sustenance to it although Blume does show each character’s point of view in little vignettes. That was masterful.
