This book surprised me. I began reading it thinking it was going to be a lighthearted story about the friendship formed between two women with very little superficially in common: the homemaker and the career woman. I was on board for that story but after the first few chapters, it became suddenly clear that this is something much deeper.
I don't really want to give away the twist because I enjoyed it so much. It still is about the roles of women and how they confine, but it's also a bit of a domestic thriller that has you rooting for both women even as they start on seemingly opposite sides of the dilemma.
Daisy and Dianna are three-dimensional characters, as are a few of the ones on the periphery, and the ending manages to be quite satisfying while it is unable to bring complete closure to what remains a complex tragedy.
