I didn't care for *any* of the characters except Large Marge so I've had trouble sticking with the book. 
Maybe I'll pick it back up in the future 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wow. Another amazing story from Kristin Hannah. She has a way of telling stories that leave you completely enthralled and captivated the entire time. I felt like I knew Lenny and her family by the end of the story. I would recommend to anyone interested in any of Kirstin’s novels. She is a very talented writer. I felt like I was in Alaska - experiencing the story with the characters.
