the other book review

Three women, Molly, Paige and Kate, all have some goals they still haven’t reached. So although they are con­tent with their lives some things are miss­ing. For Molly and Kate a reli­able male mate is miss­ing and Paige wants to be a deputy. When all the goals are in hands reach it all seems so easy to grab it all, but espe­cially then life gets more and more dif­fi­cult. All three women have to look at them­selves (and their pasts) to get noticed by the oth­ers. A harsh but nec­es­sary task if they want true hap­pi­ness and a full life.

A nice enough read, but for me it all seemed a bit too chaotic. Instead of choos­ing three main char­ac­ters, Webb could eas­ily have writ­ten about only one of them. Fol­low­ing three lives left no room for dig­ging deep into a char­ac­ter, so all three women were not as dynam­i­cal as they could have been. A pity really.
