I really liked this book! It had so much going on it was hard to ever get bored. The three main characters are Janice and her two daughters, Margaret and Lizzie. Janice's husband just had a very successful public launch of his pharmaceutical company but that day Janice learns that her husband is divorcing her and has been having an affair with her best friend. Talk about timing! Meanwhile 28 year old Margaret is in debt up to her eyeballs and is realizing she is finally going to have to give up on her homegrown magazine ever making it to the big time. And 14 year old Lizzie finds out she is not becoming popular, but instead has made a name for herself as the school slut.
My heart broke for these three characters as they each dealt with their worlds falling apart in very different ways. It opens your eyes to the fact that not everyone has it together, and as much as they try to make it seem like they do, one thing, or a series of events, can bring them tumbling down. But at the same time it is inspiring because you see that no matter how far you fall you can always just pick yourself back up and start to put the pieces back together again.
