Started off slow for me. Straub's books always seem to??? I think it takes awhile to get into the characters and the stories and she develops these characters with little bits of information as the book continues. By the midway point I liked it enough to keep reading and by the end I loved it. This is a family story of the mother, her girlfriend, her three adult children and their lives and her teenage granddaughter. I loved the message and story that no one is perfect and we are all doing our best. That is true of life and of parenting.
