Summary
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.

Unexpected but brilliant
The story telling is fantastic I found it hard to stop listening and commence with everyday tasks. This was my first audible book and now has me hooked. If you like Dawn’s TV work you’ll enjoy this book.

Would definetely recommend
Such a relevant book about women in today's society, loved the social media angle and brilliantly narrated. Not my normal read as I tend to read more thrillers than novels I think of as being specifically aimed at a female audience,, not a fan of romances, this though was insightful and thought provoking.. Loved it.

Fantastic!
I absolutely love this book, I think it has been one of my favourites this year! It is funny but sad. It provides real insight to life today.
The characters are so good and they are a good reflection of women today. Don't miss out on this one.
