Glass has succeeded again with many characters and stories that converge into one. This a great book that lived up to the standards she set with The Three Junes.

I enjoyed this book quite a bit. It was very well-written with varied and detailed characters that were overall likable. The structure was a bit frustrating at times since the story switched perspectives and made forward jumps in time, leaving the reader to wonder about lost story threads for a long while (this was particularly true towards the end). Largely, through, it was basically the story of a marriage. It also had the strange effect of making New York City feel like a small town, with the way the characters' lives all intersected.

I had no trouble at all following the character's in this book. Maybe it's because I can adapt to different techniques of writing..IDk....I thought it was a very good book! Thumbs up to Julia!

I had so much trouble getting into this book. There was just too much going on, too many different characters and stories. I have loved everything else I have read by this author, but did not like this. I didnt like the main character, and found it hard to sympathize with any character in the book.
