An after happily-ever-after tale...
This novel offers a glimpse into a woman’s relationships with her family. Why do we make the assumptions and choices we do? Why won’t we let loved ones know who we are? Alex is not a protagonist with clay feet. She is hiding something she messed up from her husband. When his daughter and granddaughter end up on their doorstep, the defiantly childless couple have to come to terms with life.
It’s a light read, with less plot and more character exploration. Would be fun for a beach read.
