I thought this would hit me a lot harder with having children, but I found myself only really sympathizing with the mother. I think Noah was amicable to knowing he wasn’t going to change, but I just could not find myself sympathizing with him at all. The plot twist was definitely not what I saw coming and it definitely explained why his dad was acting the way he was, however, you would think having experienced those feelings he would have tried to help. Instead I found him to be a self centered coward and I’m glad that marriage didn’t last for his mom’s sake. As always Lucienda Berry’s writing was perfection however.
