This book follows 3 women. Each chapter is told from a different POV. If you have read my reviews before you will know this is something I LOVE! I really enjoy seeing things from different perspectives and getting into each characters head.
First, we meet Kate. Kate is a stay at home mum of 2. Kate has had a pretty rough year and she is feeling a bit overwhelmed and a bit lost. I really liked Kate. She wants to please everyone and in doing so she has not thought about herself in a long time.
Kate's friend Shannon is our second character. Shannon lives in Paris and from Kate's perspective is still having the fun life she had before she was a mum. What Kate doesn't realise is Shannon has some secrets of her own. Shannon was an interesting character. I would have never guessed her secrets. I was quite shocked when it was revealed. It did however completely explain why she is the way she is. Shannon did make me laugh quite a lot too.
Our third character is Laura. Laura works in the same company as Shannon and is in Paris for a meeting. Laura has been with James for 12 years but she feels like life has stopped moving for her. Everyone else is getting married, having babies and she is living in a pokey flat with a job she hates. Laura was my favourite character. There was something about her that I instantly liked.
Emma has a way of making you fall in love with these characters and their crazy, impulsive actions. this book had a lot of laughs but there were also a few heartbreaking moments. This story was about finding yourself, putting what you want first and not always trying to please everyone else. I think that sometimes we all need to take a little time to do the things that make us happy.
