I cried when I read this book. The first story touched my heart the most. I could really feel for Liz; the one who have everything, and yet nothing at all. I could feel her loneliness, and her struggles to reach out for someone whom she could share her life with.

The other three stories were equally good, but for now, I’m still crying over Liz’s story, and I wished I could have met that handsome stranger who will take away all of the pain in my heart too.

What I really think about this book is that, some of the stories does reflect the real pain of women today. How am I supposed to rate this book? It made me cry alot. I enjoyed reading it, but it made me sad too… so I’m gonna just rate this book a 4 star for the bumpy emotional ride.

I received an ARC of this book from Barbara Freely via Netgalley. i was not required to write a positive review for this book.

Book description:

Three women, three birthdays and one unforgettable night that will change their lives forever.

One night in San Francisco, three women make a birthday wish believing it can’t possibly come true. Liz is turning thirty. A successful nurse, she has a good career, but no man to share her life. All her friends are married, and she’s alone, still trying to outrun a tragedy from her past. Then she meets a handsome stranger.

Angela, a member of a large, loving Italian family, is facing thirty-five with no baby in the nursery. Eight years of infertility treatments have put a strain on her marriage. Will she have to choose between her husband and having a child? When she is mugged by an unexpected assailant, her life takes a new turn.

Carole, a corporate wife, is staring down forty candles. Having grown up poor, she worked hard to get ahead, but when her kids bail on her birthday, and she discovers her husband with another woman, she realizes that she may have nothing at all. She goes back to where it all began, the mother she left behind, and the man whose heart she once broke.
