** spoiler alert **
           I loved There's Cake In My Future and couldn't put it down, so I assumed I would feel the same way about this one. I can't love them all.

This time around, the story focuses on Mel as she comes to terms with Seema getting married, and Nic having babies all while she is single, childless, and feeling like she was going nowhere in life. The story of the shenanigans Mel got into once she decided to take back her life were great - what brought this story down to 4 stars though was the constant insecurity she had surrounding guys. The second she met someone she would picture forever and start trying to "read" him to see if he was the one. STOP IT! A little insecurity and we can all relate. A constant insecurity? Now you're just annoying. BRING BACK SEEMA! BRING BACK NIC! And get rid of their Hawaiian replacements because they don't measure up!

With all that being said, if a third book came out in this series, I would snatch it up and read it in an instant. I just wish I read this one when it first came out before I was engaged and having children as I would have related to it a whole lot more.
