TJR is one of my favorite novelists. I have been making my way through her blacklist books since I fell in love with her writing a few years ago. This is a story about love, marriage, family and all the struggles that come with those relationships. It was beautifully written and I devoured every word of it.

This was a pleasant read, but easily my least favorite TJR I've picked up. Even though it was just a little too rosy for my tastes, there were still loveable characters and believable dialogue. I could see myself recommending this to the right person, but I most likely wouldn't read it again.
