COW [n.]

/kaʊ/

A piece of meat; born to breed; past its sell-by-date; one of the herd.

Three women. A whole world of judgement.

Tara, Cam and Stella are very different women. Yet in a society that sets the agenda, there’s something about being a woman that ties invisible bonds between us.

When one extraordinary event rockets Tara to online infamy, their three worlds collide in ways they could never imagine – and they discover that one woman’s catastrophe might just be another’s inspiration.

Through friendship and conflict, difference and likeness, they’ll learn to find their own voices.

Because sometimes it’s OK not to follow the herd.

Terrible. It's about selfish horrible women who make every thing about themselves and moan about silly little things like boys not texting them back at the complete detriment of their partners children and anyone else . I couldn't finish it. In fact couldn't stomach the first few chapters. I am so so disappointed in this book. Just horrible. It actually has the line 'aspired to be more than just a stay at home mum' in it. Just women putting other women down again ...

Awful, could be OK if you're a 15 year old girl, but I found it embarrassingly clichéd and lacking in any intellectual qualities, couldn't finish it I'm afraid
