Summary: Ever wanted to peek inside a friend's diary?
Review: This book is so fascinating, so perfectly composed, you won't be able to put it down once you open it up. The idea is quite simple -- ask a diverse group of women across the country to keep a diary on one day. The result is complicated, joyous, sad, and amazingly interesting. If you've ever wanted to peek inside a friend's diary, ever wondered what women are really thinking, this book is for you!

Summary: great for bookclubs!
Review: This is the kind of book that busy women can leave on their kitchen table or bedside table or briefcase. It is the kind of book that you can dip into for an always thought provoking, sometimes humorous, often touching read. My bookclub is going to read it, and we are going to do our own day diaries and share them out loud with one another. I think this book has made me feel linked to the community of women in a new way. A book to pass on.

Summary: Looking in a mirror
Review: What a great idea.... It amazed me that in almost every diary, no matter who the writer, there was always a "familiar" feeling.
We are all so different, and yet so alike. It is an entertaining and insightful view into the lives of women everywhere. I recommend it! And once you have read it, pass it on....especially to the men in your life!!! I suggest Ms. Cole and her friends do it again!!!!
