A quick, page turner. The family is engaging - the story - well, quite a story. The characters make some of the crazy choices we might wonder about. Lives are effected and the parallels with the main character's writings makes it curiously fun. Enjoyable and recommendable.

An odd little book, well written and an easy read. Author does not explore the depths of character, but I still felt as though I knew the characters and cheered for their futures. I will go back to find her previous novel and save this one for my daughter to read, so all in all a pretty high praise.
