I think it was nothing more than 1 star. What redeeming qualities did you see in any of the girls. They all continued to live a lie. They wanted you to think loyalty to each other was the most important thing in all their lives yet their truthfulness to the partners even though they had children with the men , wasn’t important. One was alcoholic , one was suppose to be a devout muslin but she lied constantly, one seemed very immature to me to act as she did when already having a child , and Kate broke her own rules about not lying to each other. I would not suggest this book to anyone to read.
