Helpful Score: 1

There were parts of this book that I loved, and parts I just can't seem to wrap my brain around. Who really wants to hear all the sordid details of your parents' lives? The affairs, the fights, etc. This is what Renata is experiencing after the death of her mother. It is an attempt to bring her closer to her estranged father, and to understand her parents relationship better.

There were funny eccentric characters, but overall, I really didn't see the point of her journey. Maybe I just wasn't in the mood to understand it.

Michael Lee West does write well. Her descriptions and her characters are memorable, but the entire topic didn't really impress me enough to love this book.
