What’s it about?

This is a multigenerational novel about strong women.

What did it make me think about?

How both family and family secrets shape us.

Should I read it?

Well, I am a sucker for a novel that makes me smile.  This novel is both funny and poignant.  Susan Reiger writes some very vivid characters.  These are characters that I just grew to like more and more as the book went on.  Lila was especially memorable.  Plus, it was refreshing to read a story with some really strong friendships in the plot.  Maybe it was my mood, but I was sorry to see this story end.

A passage I marked

"She liked him. He had no edge.  He liked her.  She was all edge."
