really liked it
bookshelves: chicklit

A surprising book. Shannon takes us on a tour through ten years in the life of a Morman housewife, who also happens to be good friends with a famous movie star. They have their ups and downs, their relationship is questioned by themselves and others, their lives take surprising turns. It starts out with lots of snappy, almost too fluffy, dialogue, but as the years pass it becomes a tender look at friendship and love and family.

Jessica I decided (after like a year) to delete Christina's comment, because it spoils a major element of the book. Sorry, Christina!

Coralie Thankyou, as an avid bookworm, I appreciate that. Hopefully no one else will leave spoilers like that any more, and everyone can read the book and feel how they will and interpret the happenings to make their own predictions and hopes.
