I started the first chapter which was short and intriguing. Thinking this was just some short stories, I felt like it was not connecting together. The second chapter was a bit longer, too long that I was lost as to what I am reading. I did not know what to make of it. Is this supposed to be a memoir? I could not get into it as not knowing who is the main character. I wish I could share more about whether I liked it or not.

really loved the characters and the plot development. was a quick and more relaxing read for me as opposed to my more typical reads. I do recommend this book

I just couldn’t get I to this book. I liked the beginning but about half way through I just found myself forcing my way through. It’s possibly just me bc I can’t pinpoint anything other than it was just kind of dragging for me.

I looked forward to 5is book because of the reviews I read. I’m glad I was able to receive from Net Galley and it certainly did not disappoint. It’s a very well written story and I loved the perspective of different generations and how women deal with issues in their life.

This book starts so strong, so good and I was enthralled. Then, about 50% in, it turns to cliche drivel.
I barely finished. What an utter disappointment.

I'll Get By

Description
Starting over means figuring out where you are, how you got there, and where to go from here.

When Jane’s life falls apart in a spectacular fashion, she questions how she got to this point. How did she manage to choose a best friend who would do the most clichéd thing ever and run off with her husband? What blinded her to the abuse her husband, Frank, heaped upon her over decades of marriage?
The answers to her life’s questions might be found in the generations before her. From her grandmother, Mamere, who threw away her family heritage to marry a baseball player, to her mother, Evangeline, who knew within moments of meeting John during WWII that he was the love of her life.
The choices the women in her family made alter Jane’s outlook on love and life, but she learns that ultimately, strong women survive and love is cultivated in unexpected places.

History plays a big part in Jane's life. All the women in her family before her. Her Mamere was the biggest influence in her life. She learn to cherish and learned real lessons from her Mamere (Grandmother). Every woman before her was controlled by men.
She had two daughters and learned to be more of her NEW self after her Husband and best friend cheated and remarried. It was a good book, no woman has to have a controlling man. She did not settle, but, learned to stand out and become the woman she was meant to be.
