pickEmily is new to CA, but despite her shy nature she connects with new friends. I loved seeing her relationship w/her daughter & the way the women in her life celebrated her.

pickBecoming Us is the first Robin Jones Gunn novel I‘ve read, but it will not be the last. The writing is flawless, the storyline captivated my interest from page one and held it until the end, and the themes are timely. I especially appreciate the sense of female solidarity created when mothers get together to share their stories and their fears and their flaws and their hopes and dreams. Becoming Usleft me feeling uplifted to say the least!
pickThis book was exactly what I needed at this point in my life. I'm mourning lifelong friendships that are getting too hard to maintain and in a season of feeling uninvited, and unknown. It's the beginning of a series (sub-series if you read all of this author's books, as many characters shift series to series) but it could be read alone. I loved that the story didn't have a huge climax, it felt like real day-to-day life. New friends, connecting. 5☆
