This is a great book, but it made me feel sad, and bad about myself, and bad about life and marriage and family. I think the writing was compelling and interesting but the topics just made me sad. I wouldn’t read it again, but if you like reading about tense family situations then I would recommend it. The author did a great job of presenting the mess of thoughts in the characters head.
