I started off not liking this book very much but as it continued, the characters and the purpose of the story elevated my feelings.

This is the story of three women, all wealthy. Two are 40 and polar opposites. One works on wall street and is a power woman. The other is a soccer mom whose goal is to have a perfect and happy family. The last woman is in her twenties and is recently married.

My original problem with the story is that each of the women feel like a man's version or interpretation of women, especially the soccer mom. However, as the story progresses, each of these women discover they have cancer. They have to deal with the emotional issues of this discovery as well as the life changes, as each reflect on their past choices and what they what their future to look like. "all three are about to discover the power of friendship to conquer adversity, the satisfaction of unexpected delights, the incredible difference one human being can have on other lives--and that they have all they could ask for, as long as they have each other."

All the profits from this book are donated to the V Foundation in honor of Greenberg's friend who died of cancer.
