Helpful Score: 1
This is quite the ambitious book, attempting to cover a wide range of deeply emotional themes- giving up a child for adoption, raising a child with Down's Syndrome, teenage angst, love affairs, cancer- in one encompassing story of a marriage is falling apart over a single life-defining moment of weakness. Was prepared to dislike certain characters based on the back cover synopsis but ended up feeling surprisingly sympathetic towards both husband and wife. Gets sort of messy tying up the loose knots at the end and runs out of steam, but I'm glad everything didn't just suddenly end up "happily ever after."
