I enjoy short stories because they are short and insightful and sometimes packed with wisdom. This one sounds like it's well-written. I will consider reading it. Thanks for the review.

This reminds me of "Desperate Housewives". I love how the author made the story feel like a real life episode that you can see one of your neighbors in it. Good book and a delightful review.

Yeah! In the synopsis does sound like Celeste have a perfect life while her friends having problem with their husband and so on.

It sounds like an interesting read. Short stories are always a nice way to get a good story without having to commit to a whole book. And what makes this book so unique, is the different perspectives on various, important topics.

The title fits this book perfectly. I feel like I could be sitting around a bottle of red listening to my girlfriends. The women all seem extremely different, it's almost hard to imagine them collectively as friends. But I guess it works!

It sounds like a peculiar dive into the emotional realm! I like this wholesome diversity. It's like there are stories that people of all ages and situations could relate to!
