Filled with humor and charm, Mommy Tracked illuminates four friends, their intertwining lives, and their joys and mistakes along the way. .… (more)

If I would have written this review a few years ago, I would have given this book 4 or 5 stars. I guess I am a bit spoiled now, cause I have discovered so many great books. This used to be one of my favourite kind of books. Books about women, their lives and their friendships. I love those and this one was a very decent read. The only thing I want, please life is not perfect, so don't make all the women have a good ending. All relationship struggles they go through, are solved in this book. And as I have noticed I have been saying a lot in my reviews lately, not realistic.

That is too bad cause the problems the 4 women go through in this book are realistic enough. It would have been better I think if one of the 4 would have decided to live without the guy. You can be happy without men you know :)

All in all I did enjoy it. 4 stars is too high, 3 stars is a bit too low. On goodreads 3 stars means I liked it. so 3 stars on this site. 3.5 in reality. ;) (

A snappy read, full of true observations about women's lives from a mom's perspective. Gaskell knows how to tie together multiple subplots effortlessly. (
