This beautiful story about four different characters who emphasize friendship, marriage, and parenting sounds enjoyable; and its complexity is wrapped up in almost 200 pages. Loved your review! Thanks!

Reading a book with strong feminine characters sounds intriguing. From the title, I thought this was a tale revolving around wine. But after reading the enlightening OBC review, I understood the book better, and I'd like to read this book.

In description this book sounds interesting, but unfortunately totally not my cup of tea. I don't like short stories format and I am not part of "girl power" movement, and considering that everyone of those stories are centered around women I think I will better skip it.

Your review of this book makes me think about the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I like that each woman has her personality, back story and struggles. Based upon what you have written about in your review, I like Beth the most as a character and I can relate the most to her. I also like that the author wrote about tough topics like suicide and depression to destigmatize them. I am eager to read more of these stories.

Short stories in that number is definitely going to be a page-turner. Women talking about their every day lives and comforting themselves with well served wines can be a good read. Might recommend to my friends. Great review!

Interesting book. Novels with short stories are fun to read. You don't get to tied up to them. You can get other things done immediately you are done with a story. Nice review.

I love short stories as they make for an easy read on lazy afternoons. This collection intrigues me because the stories are interconnected. Having the different ladies narrate gives perspective and brings out the personality of each woman. I look forward to reading and enjoying this collection.

This book contains a series of short stories about the lives of four Canadian women. Some of the stories are sad and some are funny. Congratulations to the author for being chosen as BOTD. Thanks to the reviewer for your excellent review.

I like that the stories follow difficult topics that many women will find relatable. Having the stories framed through a group of friends helping each other through is an excellent framework for the stories. Thanks for the insightful review!

These types of stories do not appeal to me and I tend to enjoy long storylines more.

First the title and cover are intriguing enough to make someone want to pick up the book and take a look. Every word counts in the writing style. I didn't feel like I needed to go through pages before understanding and connecting with the characters.

I’m not really a fan of short stories, but I do like how they’re all related, so maybe I’ll check it out.
