A (typical) bravo performance from Susan Mallery. Three sisters all in different stages of heartbreak do what it takes to rebuild their lives with surprising (but "feel good") results. Finola is the well-put together LA morning-show host whose husband leaves her for a younger woman just moments before she goes on the air — the extra zing? The woman is her first guest. Zennie is the athletic OR nurse who doesn’t believe that everyone needs to be paired up in twos — she is very happy with her unattached life. But when she agrees to be a surrogate for her best friend, the ensuing hormone flood is confusing. Ali is jilted by her fiancee just weeks before the wedding — and he doesn’t even have the nerve to tell her himself. Though his selected intermediary is his much nicer and pretty hunky younger brother.

While the story is somewhat predictable, it is a real pleasure to read and includes some great messaging about self-worth, friendship, support, and family.
