I really liked this book. The main character is mostly delightful, though she does have an unaccountable weakness that I didn't like. Others have already mentioned the ex-husband Kaz. He doesn't ring true to me, and her reaction to him is also not quite right.

That said, I still liked the book. The story is a good one, with interesting complexities. It gives us a chance to learn a little about button collecting, but there really ought to be a little more info in there.

I have to tell you, however, that I figured out the central cause of all the unexplained and weird goings-on a bit before Josie hit upon it. I rarely do that. I just flow with the story and learn when the main character learns, but she was a bit dumber than I am this time.

Wow. I'm full of cavils and complaints in what I've written, but in spite of it all, I LIKED the book. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Go figure.
