If the answer is yes, this book is for you. Jill and Anne share heartfelt stories of why mommy friendships are so important. I loved that the book was not only encouraging but gave you real suggestions of how to make friends. I found the Mothering Personality Inventory extremely helpful, not only for me to figure out why I act the way I do but also why my friends act the way they do. It is a great tool to see how your friends needs match up to your own needs. Each chapter ends with a challenge for you to complete. I love that it doesn't just give you suggestions on how to make and be a better friend but gives you a real life example you could do today. She also gave examples of different kinds of friendships. I have always heard the expression, friend for a season, a reason, and life. Jill really expounds upon this saying. It was encouraging to know that not all friends will be my BFF and that's ok. We are truly not meant to do this alone. Sharing our struggles and triumphs in parenting with real people and finding your tribe can be hard but it is so worth it. I highly recommend this book to all moms regardless of what season of life you are in!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Great book - written for mom, but applies to all women. Actually, we should all follow the principals in "Better Together".By listenerBetter Together is a great book and while it is geared towards those on the mothering journey, it truly can be applied to any woman. No matter what stage we are in, we all are "Better Together". Jill and daughter Anne do a great job of helping us to realize this. We are not meant to do this life alone. While most of us are "connected" via social media, are we really connected? There is a big difference between hitting a like button and actually going in the trenches with our friends when they are facing a tough time. We don't realize how important it is to just be there, to deliver a meal, to offer support. Not only when things are tough, but just to say "you are not alone!". The quizzes in this book are fun also! Each chapter ends with a little challenge to put what you have learned into action. And, through it all, while doing for others is important, Jill and Anne also stress that it is important to ask for help and accept offered help graciously. I recommend this book to all moms, what a wonderful shower gift (even for a bridal shower).0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Perfect for any stage of mothering.By Jenny HThere were so many reasons why I enjoyed this book. First, the book gave practical advice on how to begin and maintain friendships. It also discussed the importance of having a tribe of women that you "mom" together with, giving you the support to know that you are not alone. After reading this book, I felt like I had permission to be the real me with dirty dishes in the sink and a load of laundry across the couch, and that it was OK! We all need to embrace one another on the journey of friendship and parenting. Moms who are at any stage of mothering will benefit from reading this book. I also appreciated that each chapter ended with things to think about and a friendship assignment.
