Read 2 times. Last read December 23, 2022 to December 24, 2022.
This book is not the genre or type of book I typically read. I have not seen the movie.
So I was very surprised that this became a page-turning book for me.
At it's core, it is a book about family love and dysfunction due to tragedy, second marriages, betrayal between sisters, body-shaming, job changes, and restlessness while determining your passion and pursuit of life.
It's also about a grandmother who hasn't seen her granddaughters for about twenty years and how they reunite.
Today is Christmas Eve and my daughter and I have been at my mom's house for nine days. Our flights were delayed for 48 hours due to winter storm Elliott, so my daughter and her grandmother (my mom) have been getting lots of time together for "girl talk." Maybe that's why this story resonated so deeply with me.
