Welcome to Litsy!

I walked into the library one day, chose a random book shelf, then chose a random book off of said shelf. That is how I ended up with this book. I really enjoyed it! It was a quick, predictable at times, good read. I was not looking for a deep read so I think I made a good choice. It would have been cool for this to have been a four part series with each book about one of the girls.

4.5☆ The brain continues to grow/develop until the late 20s. Still baffles me that 18 is old enough to buy cigarettes and join the military but you have to be 25 to rent a car. My husband and I got married at 20, hardly anyone threw a fuss. We experienced many of the same things the four relationships in this book struggled with. We too, had/have an amazing support group surround us and it made all the difference.

Easy summer read. You are sure to identify with one of the gals.

This book is a good chick lit book. It had a few unresolved storylines and I think I fell asleep during one or two chapters. Oops. It‘s a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

I‘m listening to this one while painting and all of a sudden my husband pipes up (who normally has his headphones on while at his computer) “so you‘re basically listening to a book that all the women are using their men to get somewhere.” 🤦🏼‍♀️ “um no...just a couple of them are.” 🤪

I absolutely loved this. On the heels of my first trip to Louisiana, my lifelong self-proclaimed obsession with all things from that beautiful state sent me to search my local library for more to keep that NOLA-feeling going. I admittedly came across this title by accident. Finished within 24 hours, it was the perfect mix of chick lit, marriage advice, and LA culture. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a feel-good girlfriend read! 💗

I miiiight bail on this, I'm just not feeling it. :(

I don't think I'll be able to think of 20 things but here goes. 🔸I met my husband when I was 17 🔸we got officially married 3 years ago for our 10th anniversary 🔸we have four kids - Jaycob 11 Abigail 9 Jackson 6 Amelia 3 🔸Amelia has surgery at 5 months old for craniosynostosis (my husband had it as well, and any children we have have a 50% chance) 🔸I'm a high school drop out but graduated two weeks before Abigail was born from (⬇️⬇️)

Oh. My. GAHHH!! So much for a little fluff. I can't read one more word from this book. You have several different characters and each one gets more and more dreadful. Whoever the author is made southern women look like a bunch of desperate red neck floozies. Seriously, a girl that is calmed by the cigarette smell in her hair?! A naive girl that dropped out of high school to marry her football boyfriend?! Just stop. 🤚🏻🙄😤

I gave this book a So-So, because though I did read it, it's not my usual genre. I got it from the local library as a Blind Date With A Book. They cover the book and just tell you a little bit about it. It's about 4 friends and their ups and downs thru a year.

This was a quick, yet disappointing read. I didn't really connect with any of the ladies and the sprinkling of sex seemed out of place. It was fairly easy to predict all the women would deserve better and all the men should know better. I don't know. Somehow this book sent mixed signals. Was the author for female independence or rather for finding the right man in due time?

TGIR- Thank God I'm (Finally) Reading! Anyone else like to squeeze in some reading time before bed?

Decided to go for lighter fare this time around. A good guilty pleasure book never hurt anybody. Anyone check this out yet? #theyoungwivesclub #juliepennell #goodreadschallenge #mayreads #guiltypleasurereading #chicklit

Last, but DEFINITELY not least, I received such a lovely, thoughtful, and amazing package from Amanda with a copy of The Young Wives Club and a signed bookplate she received from the author just for us ❤️ I am so grateful for our new friendship and I admire the hell out of this woman. She works hard and she sets a wonderful example for her 3 Daughters as she chases and achieves her dream! Best #BookMail from a Dear friend 😊 Thank you!!! 😘

A celebration of female friendship, it was also at times romantic, humorous, and poignant. Loved it! (Also, just discovered how to add stickers! 👍)

Ugggh I just came across an article with someone else ( a woman) bashing YA and Women's fiction. I love my chick lit as much as my lit fiction.

so delighted to be reading this! a perfect book to curl up with on a lazy Saturday 😍

I needed a wee bit of a lighter book after #behindhereyes and this is the perfect choice so far! And mimosas because........it's a mimosa. #dur
