**** 4 stars
Four stars is a little on the generous side, perhaps, but I know I was generally happy to pick this book up. It's a gentle read with a lot of tenderness but there's a surprising degree of toughness, too. It may have been a bit too simplistic and there was some unlikely coincidence needed to get us to the "happily ever after" but it was nice that a fluffy chick lit book did not hinge on a romance. As a matter of fact, that was a central message, that these three generations of women could find their own way without relying on a man. Nothing wrong with a man; I'm quite a fan of men ;) but it was a refreshing message for this genre.
I will definitely read more by this author. I very much enjoyed her Lovesick Cure last year; she's got a charming, easy way about her and the stories are engaging but not sickly sweet.
