Mother Maker

I liked the rest of the series but I didn't enjoy this one as much. I don't know if it was because the characters got shoe-horned into a hard-to-write trope but I struggled.

Dylan is the hippy one of the group of friends, trusts in crystals and the universe sending everything she needs her way. Like Cortney Miller, the baseball player from a well-to-do Boston family.

Dylan had a rough time when she got accidentally pregnant in her early 20's with Liam - his dad was from a rich family and they treated her like rubbish. But they did give her a pay-off that allowed her to start her own daycare business. There's a lot about this book that annoyed me - Dylan's portrayed as a crazy earth mother but actually she's a successful business woman whose company continues to grow. She provides home schooling and child care for all the other kids which none of the other moms have to do but that doesn't seem to get recognised. There's minimal interact between the women in this book to the point you'd wonder how they were friends at all, never mind friends who live together and I really dislike what they did with Beckett's character in this book. I don't think he would have done that and he just came across as hateful.

I liked the character and think she deserved a better book.
